COLUMBUS – After weeks of online reports, the Columbus Blue Jackets and the NHL made it official on Saturday: Ohio Stadium will host a game between the CBJ and the Detroit Red Wings next season.
It will be the first outdoor NHL game ever at Ohio Stadium.
The two teams will face off in the Navy Federal Credit Union NHL Stadium Series game on Saturday, March 1, 2025.
“This is an event our fans have been extremely excited about, and the Blue Jackets could not be happier to take on the NHL’s team from that state up north next season in one of the world’s most iconic sports venues,” said Blue Jackets President and Alternate Governor Mike Priest.
It will be the first regular season outdoor game for the Blue Jackets and the fifth for the Red Wings, who are 2-0-2 in their previous four appearances.
The Blue Jackets have played more games against the Red Wings than any other team since the club joined the NHL in 2000. The former Central Division rivals have played 111 times during the regular season with Columbus owning a 46-51-14 record, including 26-23-8 at home.
Ticketing, broadcast information, and the game’s start time, will be announced when available.
