I think it was 95 when Miss State came to Tuscaloosa and the high that day was in the mid 30's with a very stiff breeze. Wind chill was in the teens all day, and it was just a miserable day in Bryant Denny Stadium.

I've been to a few...

Ole Miss vs ULM 08 was the coldest I've ever been at a game. Stayed at a friends the night before. Wore a short sleeved shirt. It was great when I left at like 9:30 and then a cold front blew in. Mid 30s with a touch of sleet at kickoff. Windy. Miserable.

2000 Iron Bowl. The weather was awful and so was the game. It was spitting snow and sleet before the game and it just never got any better.

Well, I could nominate quite a few here.

UK/UGA when I was an undergrad in 80 or 81. Seven degrees at kickoff for a night game.

UK/Cincy 1995 in Lexington. Heavy snow, mid twenties at kickoff.

All time, however, has to be the 1981 AFC championship game between the Bengals and the Chargers at Riverfront in Cincy. Well below zero at kickoff. The windchill was 40 something below zero. Tons of snow on the ground. Ohio River was frozen over. Thought we were going to get stranded and die on I-75 on the way back to Lexington. Only way we got through that was the heaters in the bathrooms at the stadium.

2007 UK/UT game. 29º at the start of the game. After 4 overtimes UT prevailed 52-50. Every guy that stayed until the end had blue balls from the cold.

Browns Steelers in like 2009. Was about 6 degrees at kick and got down to about -10. Beer was undrinkable because it froze pretty much immediately.

I would have to say the Vandy against Tennessee game I went to last year. It was pretty damn cold. It had to hit high 20s at some point.

Ole Miss at LSU, either '01 or '02, can't remember, but it was miserable due to the swirling wind in Tiger Stadium. It wouldn't have even been a factor if my friend's gf hadn't busted the ziploc containing an entire fifth of Crown.

The Freezer Bowl, January 10, 1982. San Diego vs Cincinnati. Coldest game in NFL history in terms of wind chill. Air temp of -9, wind chill of -38.

Been to some pretty cold games in Commonwealth in November too.

Mine was a Cleveland Browns game. It was there last game a couple years ago in December vs. 49ers. There stadium is right on Lake Erie and it is no fun to feel that wind in 6 degree weather.

Senior Bowl back when Ozzie Newsome played. Froze my butt off watching the North take a lead into the 4th qtr. We left early and missed the South coming back to win.

Last year's OM/Mizzou game was cold as frick and our offense blew dick the entire game... Credit to the Tigers defensive front.



Coldest ever for me was Ole Miss/Air Force in the 1992 Liberty Bowl... Miserable... 20+ MPH wind gusts... Wind Chill was single digits.

Played in 27 degree, 25 mile an hour wind ice storm in Dallas. Had been raining all week. The worst was getting up from a wet puddle to stand in that wind. BRRRR
