Yahoo.com - More than 73,000 spectators will brave frigid conditions here Tuesday to watch the Buffalo Sabres and Pittsburgh Penguins stage the first National Hockey League game in a US outdoor venue.

Only 42,000 tickets were put up for public sale and those were all purchased in less than half an hour.
