It works both ways.
Going to SoCal or Colorado (low humidity environments), it is much easier to get dehydrated because you don't sweat as much and do not realize that moisture is still leaving your body.
In either case, if you aren't "properly" hydrated before the game, you're going to have problems. Properly meaning proper hydration days before the game, not between warmups and kickoffs.

Well the issue is your sweat is more effective in dry climates due to a lower wet bulb temperature.
But most athletes know how to listen to their bodies and will be getting fluids whether they want them or not.

I remember Georgia being fine when they went to Arizona State in 2008, but they looked like they were gasping for air when they went to Colorado in 2010.
