ST. LOUIS (AP) " Before the Rams left town in January, the St. Louis Blues were already in line to get an outdoor NHL stadium series game " just not the Winter Classic. Bettman said there was "no hesitation" choosing St. Louis as site of the eighth Winter Classic. "Having a chance to have an outdoor game is something you'll remember the rest of your life." "It's something that St. Louis could use right about now," Stillman said. DeWitt said the Cardinals had been "bugging" the commissioner "for a number of years in ways subtle and not so subtle" to bring the Classic to St. Louis.
