The Carolina Hurricanes are finally hosting an outdoor game next season. Here are the five top things to look forward to as the countdown begins!

Ladies and gentleman, it’s official. The Carolina Hurricanes will be hosting the 2021 NHL Stadium Series in Raleigh, NC on February 20th 2021. The outdoor game will be held just a couple hundred feet away from PNC Arena, at Carter Finley Stadium, home to the NC State Wolfpack Football team.

The announcement was made during the first period of the 2020 NHL Stadium Series that featured the Colorado Avalanche and the Los Angeles Kings.

"“It’s a testament to the great fan base that we’ve always known has been in the Triangle and it’s great to see the community reengage in the way they have over the last season. ” – Gary Bettman, the commissioner of the National Hockey League."

Carter Finley Stadium is a gorgeous facility that would be perfect for an outdoor hockey game. The stadium holds up to 57,583 people and there’s not a bad seat in the house.

"“We’re proud to be the first NHL market in the Southeast to host an outdoor game and we’re going to do everything we can to make as many seats available as possible, because we know how high demand will be for this game, and the epic tailgate that will accompany it.” – Carolina Hurricanes majority owner Tom Dundon."
