I went to a college outdoor game in Omaha last year, and it's definitely more about the experience/novelty than trying to really focus on what's going on. The ice was between first and third in a baseball stadium... we were about 15 rows back on the 3rd base side and it's just a bad angle to watch hockey... we went to the top of the lower deck later on, which was somewhat better, but then you're really far away from the action. I went to the ACC tournament a few years ago in the Georgia Dome, and watching basketball from the upper deck of a dome is pretty strange, but at least the court was in the endzone... watching basketball or hockey when it's set at the 50 yard line would kind of suck.
It's a cool idea though... just much to watch on TV. On a side note, the jerseys were great, and some of the other alternates that are being used for the other outdoor games look pretty cool, too.
