The Hockey City Classic is an annual outdoor college ice hockey event in which the nation’s premier men’s ice hockey college teams compete. This year’s game will feature four of the fiercest collegiate ice hockey teams from the Miami University, the University of Wisconsin, the Minnesota University and the Notre Dame University. Supporters of these collegiate teams are in for the time of their life, as these four programs will be competing for the big win.
 
The venue for this annual event is the Soldier Field which is a football stadium located in the American state of Illinois. Inaugurated in the year 1924, the Soldier Field is home to National Football League’s Chicago Bears and the Northern Illinois Huskies Football team. The initial plan, to construct a stadium that would not only hold sports events, but also feature a playground for the locals of Chicago, was finalized in 1919. The idea came forward when Chicago architects, Roche and Holibird were able to win a local architectural competition that was held to select architects for the construction of a local memorial for American soldiers who gave their lives during wars. Costing a whopping one hundred and seventy six million dollars, the stadium can provide seating to around sixty two thousand sport’s fanatics for one game.
 
The Soldier Field stadium has hosted countless games over the years such as the National Challenge Cup of 1928, Annual College All-Star games, the National Football League’s 1976 season, National Football Conference’s Championship games and the FIFA Cup matches of 1994. The debut event that was held at Soldier Field was a police meeting that was attended by a thousand policemen and over ninety thousand spectators. The debut football game that took place was the 1924 Northwestern Vs Notre Dame game, after which uncountable games have been held, each of which are attended by a hundred thousand spectators. Apart from sports events, the outdoor stadium has also held political and religious events and even concerts. One of the historic events was the visit of American President Franklin Roosevelt in the year 1944 which was attended by approximately one hundred and fifty thousand spectators.
