The NHL is preparing to transform Rice-Eccles Stadium in Salt Lake City into a winter sports venue for the 2027 Winter Classic, incorporating ski slopes into the stadium design. Signage for the event was displayed during a press conference held by the Utah Mammoth and NHL at the stadium on Wednesday, January 7, 2026. The outdoor hockey game will feature the Utah Mammoth, the state's NHL franchise, in a unique configuration that blends hockey with alpine skiing elements at the University of Utah's football stadium.
