Launched last season by the NHL, the 2014 Coors Light NHL Stadium Series consisted of four games, all of which were played in sold out stadiums. The series started in Los Angeles when a festive crowd of 54,099 packed Dodger Stadium to see the spectacle of the NHL's first outdoor game played in California, which showcased the first two hockey games ever played at Yankee Stadium and concluded with the first-ever NHL game at Soldier Field. Feb. 21 will mark the first NHL game played outdoors in Northern California.

"Fans across the country are discovering that movie theaters are a great place to watch sporting events. With huge screens, great sound and surrounded by a passionate fan base, it's an experience unlike any other," Fathom Events CEO John Rubey said.
