One of the main concerns when the NHL announced an outdoor stadium series game in Tampa was the weather. A huge tent will protect ice from the intense heat when the Boston Bruins face off against the Tampa Bay Lightning at Raymond James Stadium. "The Lightning have been after an outdoor game for years... Now we're confident we're going to get it done," said Steve Mayer to NHL.com. No NHL outdoor game has ever needed such detailed planning for extreme weather. The Panthers play the Rangers at Miami's loanDepot Park on January 2nd, followed by Tampa's historic tent game weeks later.
