Pierre LeBrun has confirmed that 7 teams (BOS, CAR, PTI, DAL, LAK, Nash, FLA) have told the league they'd like to play outdoor games for part of this season so they can have some attendance. He also says the 3 NYC area teams all told the league they're not interested in doing this. Bill Daly had previously said the league was unlikely to add a bunch of outdoor games.
