After next season, there will only be 7 teams who haven't yet played in an outdoor game:
- Arizona
- Carolina
- Columbus
- Dallas
- Florida
- Nashville
- Tampa Bay
Also, Anaheim, Ottawa, Montreal, and the Rangers have been in outdoor games without being the home team. The Rangers played two games at Yankee Stadium as the road team and the Ducks were the road team at Dodger Stadium, so at least their local fans were able to go to the games if they wanted to without significant travel. |
There is a difference in playing in an outdoor game and playing in THE Jan 1 Winter Classic. How many teams have played in that?
