Wrigley almost set for Winter Classic (AP)

By Goalie | December 30, 2008

Workers prepare the rink at Wrigley Field for New Year's Day's NHL Winter Classic hockey game, Monday, Dec. 29, 2008 in Chicago. The Chicago Black Hawks will host the Detroit Red Wings at the outdoor stadium on Thursday.

The mix of baseball and hockey in the Winter Classic makes for odd distances at Wrigley Field: It’s 112 feet from home plate to the center-ice faceoff dot, then another 288 feet to the center-field wall. The penalty box is just to the second base side of the pitcher’s mound, and the goals are on the first and third base lines.
