Dear NHL: we'll see your outdoor game and raise you an aircraft carrier.

Now the Carl Vinson is on track to make sports history, as the first ever carrier to host an NCAA basketball game.

The final deal hasn't been reached, but the plan, being promoted by Morale Entertainment, calls for the Michigan State Spartans to play the University of North Carolina Tar Heels on Veterans Day, November 11, on the top deck of the Carl Vinson at the U.S. naval base in San Diego at about 4 p.m. PT.

Needless to say, they're still working out the logistics, but this would be pretty cool.
