NHL Stadium Series outdoor hockey game Sunday in Tampa could get assist from Florida cold outbreak
Unlike the Winter Classic just after New Year's Day, this Sunday's outdoor hockey game in central Florida could leave fans shivering more than you might expect.
The Tampa Bay Lightning wore throwback Buccaneers uniforms arriving at Raymond James Stadium for the NHL's Stadium Series outdoor game against the Boston Bruins in.
Stadium Series has a rich history of its players arriving to the game in extravagant outfits. The Bolts did this in 2022, when they arrived to Nashville’s Nissan Stadium in nothing but the people’s cloth. And they did so again on Sunday, hopping off an Ybor City trolley led by Baker Mayfield and Tristan Wirfs in full-on Buccaneers cosplay.
Nearly 70,000 fans braved almost freezing weather at Raymond James Stadium for Tampa Bay’s first outdoor NHL Stadium Series game.
