FRANCISCO -- The San Jose Sharks and Los Angeles Kings
are going to take their rivalry outdoors next season. The
NHL announced Wednesday that the Pacific Division foes
will meet at the 49ers new home in Santa Clara on Feb.
21. The $1.2 billion Levis Stadium beat out the San
Francisco Giants cozier confines at AT&T Park for the
game, which is part of the NHLs growing Stadium Series.
This will be the second straight year the NHL has staged
an outdoor game in California. The Anaheim Ducks beat the
Kings 3-0 at Dodger Stadium in front of an announced
crowd of 54,099 on Jan. 25. Sharks Chief Operating
Officer John Tortora expects the game at Levis Stadium to
attract a capacity crowd of 68,500 for a scintillating
spectacle of ice in Silicon Valley. "We think this will
be one of the bigger sporting events the Bay Area has
ever seen," Tortora said. The NHLs first outdoor game in
Northern California features a fierce matchup. In the
latest and perhaps most dramatic chapter of the playoff
history between these franchises, the Kings eliminated
the Sharks in the first round last season to become the
leagues fourth team to win a best-of-seven series after
losing the first three games. Los Angeles went on to win
its second Stanley Cup in three years. "The growing
excitement around NHL hockey in California, the intensity
of last seasons playoff series between these teams and
the state-of-the-art setting at Levis Stadium will bring
a thrilling new dimension to the Kings-Sharks rivalry,"
NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman said in a statement. The
NHL has been taking its game to iconic outdoor venues
more and more over the last decade. The new Yankeee
Stadium, Bostons Fenway Park, Chicagos Wrigley Field and
Michigan Stadium in Ann Arbor are just a few of the
notable names to host hockey in recent years.dddddddddddd
The league previously announced that the Washington
Capitals would host the Chicago Blackhawks in the 2015
Winter Classic on Jan. 1 at a site to be determined. The
Sharks will be the 14th team since 2003 to host an
outdoor game. The league has averaged 56,942 fans at each
of those contests. Tortora said the Sharks began serious
bidding for an outdoor game last summer. He said the
league held off until they saw how the Kings-Ducks game
at Dodger Stadium played out. The temperature for that
contest in Los Angeles was 63 degrees, but concerns about
ice conditions turned out to be unfounded. Tortora said
the success of that game paved the way for another one in
a more temperate climate. The weather in Santa Clara is
typically warmer and drier than in the more scenic San
Francisco, which is about 45 miles north, but Tortora
said it was more of a competition between venues than
cities. While the Giants waterfront ballpark offered
dramatic backdrops of the Bay Bridge and San Francisco
skyline for television viewers, Tortora said the league
chose the 49ers digs because football stadiums typically
offer better sightlines, more flexibility on the rinks
configuration and the ability to host a larger crowd.
AT&T Park holds about 42,000 fans. Tortora said the
larger Levis Stadium will help lower the average price of
a ticket, which he said will cost $150. He said 44 per
cent of the tickets will be priced below that. "I dont
think a sellout will be a major concern," he said.
