Tim McGraw Set for Stadium Series Intermission as Lightning Face Bruins in Tampa

League contingency plans address Tampa’s heat and humidity through rink covering, with a reserved weather date.

Overview

  • The Lightning and Bruins play on February 1 at 6:30 p.m. on a temporary rink at Raymond James Stadium.
  • The matchup marks Tampa’s first outdoor NHL game and Florida’s second after the Miami Winter Classic earlier in January.
  • NHL crews will keep the ice under a removable cover, which takes about six hours to take down on game day.
  • A reserved weather date remains in place should conditions force a delay, according to NHL operations official Derek King.
  • The event is the league’s 45th stadium game, with limited tickets still available.
