Carrier Dome Sets Indoor Hockey Attendance Record

((HT: WSYR-TV))

With a little over 31,000 in house for a doubleheader involving SUNY-Oswego and, then later, an AHL game between Utica and Syracuse.

Here's the fan perspective


The old record came from Tampa and was during the Lightning days when they played at the Suncoast Dome.

Winter Classic Looks Cool, Sets Records

((HT: NHL on NBC))

When 106,000 people start tailgating at 9:30 in the morning for the Detroit-Toronto game, you know it has the shot to be something really special and really cool...

This was...


While seeing a toque on Jonathan Bernier is quite funny, but more out of necessity, it's still a riot...

Here's the Sportsnet version...

So, the HQ firmly believes the league is in a dangerous place... making sure that the Winter Classic is preserved as its special event, but not overdoing the damn thing- like Dodger Stadium this year...

OSG High: UIL Games At Jerry-World Set Records

((HT: WFAA-TV))

And made for good highlights...

Aledo High became the first team in US high school football history (that the HQ can think of) that cleared 1,000 points in their season. Remember, Aledo was the team that beat one team 91-0 and caused the one of the parents of the team that got beat to call for a bullying investigation...

That went well...

And the Allen-Pearland game set a UIL record for attendance of almost 55,000 at Cowboys Stadium

Here's your look...

It's Official: The Battle at Bristol--CFB at NASCAR

150,000 plus College Football fans in one of NASCAR's fabled tracks.

Yup, we told you just last week that Virginia Tech and The University of Tennessee would be squaring off in 2016 at the Bristol Motor Speedway.

Today, the schools, the track and NASCAR made it official.

The game slated for September 10th of 2016, assuming it's played, could potentially set the World Record for highest attendance figure at a College Football game. The stands are slated to be ready to host 150,000 screaming fans.

And according to the Knoxville News-Sentinel, the attendance will reflect on how much each school could make. Reporter Evan Woodberry says both schools will get 40,000 tickets each. If they sell those tickets, it's a $4 million payout.

We think this is a great idea and are surprised nobody has thought about it sooner.

They did, they just couldn't pull it off.

Why not put this kind of game half way between two of College Football's best drawing teams. We're betting if this works, you'll see it happen more often.
