I personally am not a big sports fan.

But I know there are a lot of butch queens out there who may be going to the "BIG GAME" New Years Day here in Chicago at Wrigley Field! For the last 3 weeks, workers have been done there day and night, constructing an ice rink in Wrigley Field!

It's 20 degrees out today! I have no desire to sit outside tomorrow, at 10AM  mind you, (I will probably just be getting home...) and watch the Black Hawks and the Red Wings.

You don't have to be a hockey fan to appreciate the bizarre nature of seeing a rink standing where the Cubs' infielders should be (if they had good range). The puck will be dropped roughly where second base would be, and the pitcher's mound -- covered on Wednesday with a blue tarp -- is behind the area where the penalty boxes will be when the Chicago Blackhawks and Detroit Red Wings face off tomorrow morning.

This is the second time the NHL has staged this. Last New Year's Day, more people tuned in to see the NHL play outdoors than any other regular-season game in more than a decade.

The Penguins-Sabres game in snowy Buffalo -- the first regular-season outdoor NHL game in the United States -- drew a 2.6 overnight rating and a 5 share on NBC.

In Chicago, Bleacher seats  still available - for about $200+ !

See you there.  (Not!)

PS  -  On  Sunday January 4th, there will be an open rink skating day for the public. One day only. Then the rink comes down.
