I can't believe I used to wear a coat & tie to those games.

Just who do you think this thread is dedicated to? The college football fan. And they aren't all digging ditches through the week. We had better use good sense and a smart plan for an afternoon hotter than a Catholic Purgadory.
Think for just a moment about fans who are going to these games with certain medical predispositions, on top of getting older. Asthma, Heart Disease, Lung conditions, Diabetes, obesity, and pregnancy, to name just a few conditions.
STAY THE frick HOME!

94 degrees and humid for an evening kickoff is absolutely something when you've been tailgating for 10 hours prior.
People really discount the effect humidity has. The more humidity, the less your sweat works. There's a point at every temperature + humidity level where your sweat literally does not cool you and it causes some really bad effects in humans.
I've lived in Texas and Arizona and would take any 110 degree day there over a 95 degree southeast day.

Many of the older buildings in CO don't have AC. It wasn't generally thought to be needed until maybe half a dozen years ago.
Denver hit 104° F in 1994, their highest temperature in recorded history. Even though we spent the day at Rocky Mountain Nat'l Park, it was still 90+° at 9 pm, an hour before dark.
In 1995, the new a/c worked just fine, even though we didn't "need" it.

I've enjoyed the many sensible responses in this thread on adapting and surviving the challenges of the southern heat index. Of course, we still have a few village idiots from each fan base.

My family has had a home on the Western Slope of CO since 1995. We've always gotten by without AC until last summer and finally had a system installed.
That was also in response to the wildfires where it's really hot safe to have your windows and doors opened.

Every year the country gets fatter and more unhealthy. Truth.
It’s as hot as it has always been hot. The country is just now very obese, out of shape, unhealthy and all have diabetes now so it seems hotter than normal

I went to the bama UT game last year. Mind you this was in Austin, which is significantly less hot than say Tuscaloosa or Baton Rouge or Oxford.
Austin had reached 100°F 45 days in a row, until yesterday. Todays forecast.
It's not Lafayette humidity, but don't kid yourself.

TV execs DGAF about player safety or the fan experience. It's going to be hilarious when so many of you have shocked Pickachu face once ESPN starts forcing SEC schools to play big time matchups at noon to counter Fox, sticks games on Thursdays/Fridays, and puts conference games on ESPN+.
Get ready b/c it's 100% going to happen now that stupid arse leadership gave the entire enchilada to them.
