Outdoor Hockey Games Are Cool: Pula, Croatia

Some UNO hockey fans still have a bad taste in their mouth from last month's outdoor game at TD Ameritrade Park.  Some of that is because UNO got beaten...and beaten badly by North Dakota.  Some of that is because the North Dakota fans overran Omaha.

But that doesn't change the fact that outdoor games are simply cool. UNO laying an egg last month didn't change that reality.  Want more proof?  My fellow CornNation author David McGee sends us this highlight video of a KHL game played at a 2,000 year old Roman amphitheater in Pula, Croatia.

Outdoor hockey games are perhaps the coolest thing in sports, but they can't do this in the states. vimeo.com/49591164# #fb

Yeah, that was cool.  Hopefully, UNO gives the outdoor game another try in a few years.
