The Red Wings could play an outdoor game against the N.Y. Rangers as the final event ever at Yankee Stadium next season, according to a report in Monday’s New York Daily News.

Red Wings defenseman Chris Chelios and forward Kris Draper said after Monday’s practice at Joe Louis Arena that they had rumors about an outdoor game being played at Yankee Stadium.

“I heard it’s a done deal already,” Chelios said. “I heard Detroit’s playing that game. The last event actually in Yankee Stadium."

Chelios said it would be “awesome.”

“Not just because of the history of Yankee Stadium, but to be able to be a part of the last event ever to be played is going to be something special,” he said.
