Preparations continue at Hersheypark Stadium for 2018 Outdoor Classic

With Saturday marking only one week from the Hershey Bears 2018 outdoor game, preparations of the rink at Hersheypark Stadium continue from the rink staff.

Friday morning we visited the stadium, which now holds a hockey rink in the middle of it. A layer of ice is currently down along with the dasher boards and glass around the rink.

Saturday saw more paint applied and the continuation of the painting process on the ice.
