, held in 1875, was a novelty at the time, yet after that the game moved inside. While the first Olympic hockey tournament
, held in 1920, was played indoors, games at the first Winter Olympics
in 1924 were the first of several such tournaments to be played outdoors. Games at the World Championships
were occasionally played outdoors, including the 1957 gold medal game
between the Soviet Union and Sweden at the Lenin Stadium
in Moscow. The attendance at that game was approximately 55,000, a number that stood as a record for more than 40 years. In 1954, the Detroit Red Wings

before 74,554 fans. The game was held at Michigan State's Spartan Stadium
, with the hockey rink set up in the middle of the football field.
The NHL's first regular season outdoor game ensued: the 2003 Heritage Classic, hosted by the Edmonton Oilers
, who lost by a 4–3 score to the Montreal Canadiens
. Though the game was played in frigid temperatures that went as low as -19 °C, it drew over 57,000 fans and was hailed as a success. The league followed it up in 2008 when it inaugurated the NHL Winter Classic
as an annual event to be held on New Year's Day. The 2008 Winter Classic, held in Buffalo
, set the current NHL attendance record of 71,217. In 2011, for the first time the NHL hosted two outdoor games, the Winter Classic
