The dome opens fully actually. If you've ever been there you can clearly see that the whole field is open. It even states on the rogers centre website that with the roof open 100% of the field and 95% or something close to that of the seats are open to the sky. Check out this link to see a great pic of the roof open. It would be even better with the Argonauts football setup where the field somehow spins and the seats have a more classic rectangle view. For those who don't speak Tweet, I'll translate: The Calgary Flames, Montreal Canadiens and the NHL Jerseys will hold a news conference regarding the 2011 Heritage Classic on August 4 at McMahon Stadium at 3 PM (Mountain Time). That's 5 PM for those of us on the east coast, 2 if you find yourself near the Pacific. That's really the only official source I can cite, not that there's any reason to doubt it. I've added the date to the calendar and I'll be keeping an eye out for further details. One would assume this press conference will be a lot like the Winter Classic event earlier this week. We'll likely get a look at how the rink will be positioned in the football stadium and possibly retro logos, if any will be used. And just like the W.C., we'll probably have to wait on the Jerseys. Last month, Flames president Ken King said the team would have a specially-designed sweater for the event. And despite having a decent arsenal of throwbacks stemming from their 100th anniversary celebrations, if I know the Canadiens, they'll probably just wear their standard road jersey. you know what i mean. There are plenty of great rivalries amongst the canadian teams, and just because they played in the playoffs against eachother doesn't mean there is some huge battle every time these teams play. For example, the carolina hurricanes played the oilers in the cup finals in 2002, and the red Wholesale Jerseys wings in 2006. If these games were in the heritage classic, it would be boring. The leafs/habs rivaly has been going on for 93 years. the leafs/sens rivalry has been going on for the almost 20 year existence of the sens. the habs/flames rivalry has been going on for 2 playoffs series' in the 80s.
