If an outdoor game is in your city, you're going to be excited about it. If it isn't, you probably don't care. The sightlines are weird on TV, and I can only imagine they're weird in person too.
Just like the All-Star game. If it was being held at the Saddledome, I'm sure we'd Jihad to get three or four guys in the starting lineup. Since it's not here, the ability for the casual fan to care is limited.
But that's true about any non-playoff hockey game. It's a regional game. The people of St Louis probably think the idea of playing an outdoor game is neat.
