Mine was in Mibbeasota in 2014 with temps in the teens.

How cold can it get in the Deep South?

2010 Papajohns Bowl (South Carolina vs. UCONN). I've been to countless other games in PA but that one still remains the coldest

Texas High School semifinals about 30 years ago at the old Cowboy stadium. It was in mid-20s and wind was blowing inside.

It was the coldest because we weren't anywhere close to to dressed appropriately for it. Those plastic seats were froze. Was freezing cold.

Been at colder games outside but had the right shite on for those.

LSU game: LSU vs Notre Dame in the 2014 Music City Bowl (high 20s)

High school game: I once saw a high school playoff game near Dallas, Texas in near 10 degree temps.

Cotton Bowl 1992 or ‘93–can’t remember which one.
Left the game with icicles formed on my clothing.
Coldest I’ve ever been.

Cold.

I was at the NFC championship game in Bloomington, MN between the Vikings and the Rams. '74 or '75. It was totally clear and miserably cold in the low teens. All I had was a letter jacket. The locals were pulling of layers and screaming "heat wave!".

Tennessee vs Kentucky in Lexington:

November 21, 1981 - High 30, Low 29...Wind was 10-15 mph...wind chill was around 20F.


ETA...that was 1 degree colder (before calculating wind chill) than Ohio State's game in Ann Arbor that same day. Not sure how windy OSU's game was.

Bama v. LSU 2002

Bama kicked our arse and the north wind kicked my arse. It was fricking colder than the air temperature.

Coldest I’ve ever felt was LSU baseball in late January I think. Was right around freezing.

May have attended a colder game temperature wise when growing up in Ohio, but it just feels colder in Louisiana when it is cold.

2010 Capital One Bowl LSU vs Penn St. the temps were well-above freezing, but the constant rain and wind made for an utterly miserable game.

2013 LSU vs Texas A&M another game in the 40’s, but very humid. Felt miserable.

2022 LSU vs UAB? I don’t remember exactly which game it was, but I think it was this one. It was raining the whole time and felt brutally miserable. Immediately regretted the decision to go to that game. Ended up leaving at halftime.

UGA/UF Game in the early 90's at the old gator bowl. I think 91 but ain't sure. It was colder than a well diggers arse. About 50 degrees at game time and raining and wind blowing about 30 mph. Got really cold after halftime. Some people who attended that game swears there were snow flurries toward the end. I didn't see them but I do remember paying the Papa John pizza guy in the stands a dollar to let us stick our hands in the pizza delivery bags to get warm. UGA got beat BAD.

Second worse was a game in Lexington around 1990 or so. Beautiful night but it was about 30 degrees at game time back in the day when the game had to accommodate the horse races. UGA lost this one also but ran 2 kicks back for TDs in the game.

It can get low double digits below zero in the deep south but usually not until late January and it is not common. During football season the worse is usually 30s and 40s. Coldest regular season game in the conference in the last few years was probably LSU and Arkansas last year...I wasn't there of course but it looked miserable.

It was a AA playoff game.

Wofford Terriers hosting a playoff game in 2003... can't remember if it was Western Kentucky or NC A&T. It was twelve degrees in Spartanburg, SC that day. Wofford won.

Free tickets to both games. Different experience watching small town college football. The other game was in the mid 40's. Just had a cold snap.
