Jacobs: Winter Classic at Fenway is “close” but not “finalized” 04.09.09 at 2:30 pm ET
By Joe Haggerty

Responding to a report out of the Boston Herald that the Boston Bruins will play the 2010 Winter Classic outdoors at Fenway Park on New Year’s Day, Boston Bruins and Delaware North Companies Principal Charlie Jacobs stated in an email to WEEI.com this afternoon that nothing has yet been finalized to make the Jan. 1 hockey game a reality. Jacobs said that the classic is “close” to coming to Boston, but that nothing has been finalized by the parties involved. 

“Contrary to published reports, at this time we have not finalized plans for a Bruins game at Fenway Park on New Year’s Day,” wrote Jacobs in an email to WEEI.com. “It is no secret that I would love to bring The Winter Classic to the City of Boston – and I have been working with the NHL to consider a number of venues in the area.  We believe that we are close to accomplishing this.  Bruins fans deserve to have an outdoor game, and we hope to deliver one to them in the near future.”

    Hey haggs how does Jacobs sack taste? Are you the new Delaware North pom pom waving stooge that kisses butt with them and then reports back to the fans with thier black and gold propoganda?

    JJ & Co. has never cared about us and still dont to this day. All they want is our $$$

    1 Playoff round win in 15 years. That says it all Haggs. Stop making nice with the enemey.

    Haggs is a just a mouthpiece for the Jacobs family, the sad part is he probably doesn’t even realize it yet. In time he will though just like all the other pawns did (see Dale Arnold)

    They’re spending up to the cap, Randy…give me a break.

    I’m just passing along the info. Have you ever heard ‘Don’t shoot the messenger?’ This Bruins team looks like they might be good enough to win a couple of playoff rounds, no? It might be time to pack away the JJ&Co. bashing for a while. Like until they prove they’re trying to scrimp and save rather than put a winner on the ice. Didn’t they just pay Thomas (which I was against)?

    Only you could find something to complain about with this team right now. (Mouthpiece Out!)
