One of the coolest parts of the hockey calendar is just around the corner.
On Saturday, March 1, the Columbus Blue Jackets and Detroit Red Wings will do battle in the open air as part of the NHL's decade-long Stadium Series initiative. Started in 2014, the Stadium Series is just as it sounds—a game held outdoors at a famous stadium. Previously, games have been played at Metlife Stadium, the U.S. Naval Academy, and Soldier Field, to name but a few.
This year's big event will be held at Ohio Stadium, home of the Ohio State Buckeyes, which makes it only natural that it will play host to another Michigan-Ohio battle. It looks to be an excellent night of hockey and should be an awe-inspiring scene.
In other words, it's something NHL fans will definitely want to tune in for. To that end, here's how to watch the 2025 iteration of the Stadium Series, with cable and via streaming.
