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.

That's a good one. Definitely crossed my mind.
Coldest game I've ever been to though had to be a HS playoff game when my soon to be high school played Boone Co. when they had Shaun Alexander. There weren't enough stands at the field so you had to sit or stand around the track. The wind chill got into the negative and everything was covered in a layer of ice. Shaun Alexander absolutely torched our asses. fricking miserable.

Tie between 2013 Kentucky and 2008 Tech
Kentucky was probably a lower temp (close to freezin, I believe), but the Tech game stands out because it was in the high 30s, low 40s, it was raining so bad that they cancelled the Dawg Walk, and I was a dumb arse and wore a sweater and jacket, neither of which were waterproof. Not only did we lose, but I got a case of Strep so bad that my fever hit 104 and I blacked out and collapsed in a cold shower with all my clothes still on while trying to cool off. My gf (now wife) found me and had to rush me to the health center

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.

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.
Am I your alter, because I was at all of those games too. Some really cold games at Commonwealth in November.
Wasn't that the Ga game where Hershel Walker had that long run?

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.

The Kentucky game in JHS jn 09. It was miserably cold and our team played accordingly. It was also one of two times I watched Randall Cobb nearly beat us by himself.

Chiefs/Broncos in Arrowhead in December 2005. High was in the mid 20s for a 3:00 kickoff, got down in the teens by the end of the game.

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

I remember being angry at how cold I was during South Carolina 2009. I actually don't think it was even that cold, but I was the only sober pledge in the section.
