The formal announcement is coming in a few minutes, but Yankee Stadium is going to be out of the running for the 2011 Winter Classic. Yankee Stadium will host a college bowl game on December 30, 2010. That does not leave enough time to build a rink and make the modifications to the stadium that are necessary to have the game.

There is still a chance for Citi Field or the new Meadowlands, especially after Jason Bay was presented with a Rangers jersey at his introduction last week. I wouldn’t be surprised to see a Rangers/Islanders or Rangers/Devils game at either of those two venues.
