2010 NHL Winter Classic. Since there was no NHL All-Star Game in the 2009–10 season due to the 2010 Winter Olympics, which were held in Vancouver, British Columbia, in February, the Winter Classic served as the league's biggest showcase game of the season. The NHL was in negotiations with the Calgary Flames to host a second outdoor game on New Years Day at McMahon Stadium, likely against another Canadian opponent.[2] That game was instead played in February 2011.

Fenway Park - History, Photos and more of the Boston Red Sox's ballpark. In today's society some of the best things are ones that change little and remain basically the same as they have for decades. Fenway Park is an example of this as the Boston Red Sox have remained committed to staying at this classic ballpark that they have called home since 1912. It is the oldest major league ballpark in use and still retains the same feel and characteristics as it did when it opened. The history of the Red Sox dates to 1901 when they became a charter member of the American League. Instead of opting to play at the Boston Braves home, South End Grounds, the Red Sox, then known as the Americans (1901-1907), built Huntington Avenue Grounds on site of a wasteland in 1901.
This rickety wooden ballpark had a seating capacity of just over 11,000 and was home to the team for a decade. It took only one year for the ballpark to be built and on April 20, 1912 the Red Sox played their first game at Fenway Park against the New York Highlanders (Yankees). Fenway Park 100.
