Hey Bundy, how bad was it for our super last year? It gets pretty hot in our baseball stadium.


Brutal. My knees got roasted. It was hot as shite y'all need to invest in an overhang for grandstand shadowing.

BUT, those games, as hot as they were don't come close to College Station in September. Kyle Field in Sept is the hottest place on earth


From people who have been to both, I wonder which they thought was hotter between Kyle and the Swamp. I can't imagine any place being hotter for a football game than Kyle Field in early September

From about Columbus GA to Columbia SC, there is a valley that seems to fill up with humidity in the summer and just doenst get cool til late fall. Columbia is hotter than hell in the summer.

I've been to some hot ones in Auburn for sure. Early season 11:00Am kick offs for TV just suck for this among many other reasons. Thats why a lot of AU's early games are at 6PM.

1990 Florida at Alabama in Tuscaloosa, I think it was a 2:00 game.

About 110 degrees in the shade and even though I had on a sundress, I felt like I was going to pass out.

I felt so sorry for my poor date - pledges couldn't take their blazers off. He was dying.

One of the UT games (I think in 09) started at noon. Humidity was through the roof that day. Felt miserable, but I wouldn't want it any other way.

This goes back a long time, but LSU-Florida at the Swamp in September 1975 (I think)...120 on the field and we were on the fourth row...people passing out left and right....Also, one of the LSU-aTm day games at Kyle Field back in the 80s....

2008 app state game, early September, and 10:00 am. The sun was on the student section for 3 hours non stop

Hottest LSU game ever. It was unbelievable.

Not an SEC game to be technical...

A few of the games for UA at Legion Field were like being in an oven.

This. The game was played earlier in the day b/c a hurricane was expected to hit that night. That was a hot freaking day and everyone had their funeral fans in the stands as I remember.

LSU-Tenn in 2005. Nothing else even close.




Wrong. LSU-App State 2008 right before Rita hit.

10 AM. kickoff in the middle of August on about a 96 degree day and tons of humidity

LSU vs Florida 2007 was pretty hot as well. With USC announcement losing to Stanford and Jacob Hester's performance I did not mind.

1983, Texas at Auburn.

Over 100 degrees.

And I was wearing a wool, jacketed band uniform.

Damn, the things we can do when we're young.


My parents still talk about that game. My mom was 6 mos pregnant with my sister
