Ohio State-Michigan to play in Indians' ballpark
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}The bitter Ohio State-Michigan rivalry is about to get really icy.
The two schools will play an outdoor hockey game at Progressive Field — home of the Cleveland Indians — on Sunday, Jan. 15. The matchup, dubbed "The Frozen Diamond Faceoff" is part of the Indians' Snow Days promotion at the ballpark, a two-month winter-themed event that drew over 50,000 fans in its first year. The Buckeyes and Wolverines will play on a regulation-sized rink situated on the Indians' infield.
The teams will meet in Columbus on Jan. 13 before playing the first outdoor college hockey game in Ohio history.
