Offseason thread for sure. What place has the best chance to offer a pleasant temperature for easy game day tailgating and not standing in place for surface of the sun seating?

I can't imagine it's any of the West places-
College Station: hot and humid as frick
Baton Rouge: hot and humid as frick
Alabama: hot and humid as frick
Auburn: hot and humid as frick
State: hot and humid as frick
Ole Miss: hot and humid as frick
Arkansas: slight chance of being okay?

East:
Florida: hot and humid as frick
South Carolina: hot and humid as frick
Georgia: hot and humid as frick
Vols: maybe comfortable?
Vandy: maybe comfortable?
Kentucky: might be the best?
Mizzou: might be the best?

This doesn’t just apply to the early parts of the season. It’s miserable well into October.

It is hit or miss on opening weekend. I swear the second home game we have is always hotter.

I have been to egg bowls that were hot and humid.

Weather between October and November in these parts is a crap shoot. September, you know it will be hot as balls.

Trick question. The answer is Kyle Field because it has some many suites, clubs, and air conditioned areas. Plus we serve ice cold beer everywhere.

You mean: "Which one may cause death from extreme heat?"

The first home game in September for OM is almost always hot and humid as hell, so we are probably out.

Missouri seems like the obvious answer here.

Yeah, not sure Missouri is the right choice either. Temps can easily top 100 and it’s humid as hell too

I've only been to Arkansas in October and November for games, but I'd imagine their mountainous location would place them 1 or 2 in the West...

well shite. I thought it might be Mizzou.

How does TN or KY fare early on? It may be Vols, Vandy, or Kentucky.

Labor Day Weekend noon games at Commonwealth have been absolutely miserable in the past. Not as humid as the more Southern states but it's not unusual for it to be in the 90's.

I wish that was the case but late August/early September here can be 90s and humid as frick (and in the Ohio Valley, it’s miserable too). Our average temps don’t really drop from high 80s until late September/early November.

You might have the best chance of a break from that here or in Missouri or Tennessee but I think we all deal with that BS.

Seems that Arkansas and Tennessee are the only 2 with a chance of being 1000ft above sea level.

So maybe those are not too miserable? Everywhere else sucks for day games

This. Im shocked that its the cities that are the farthest north and/or in mountainous areas.

Im going to take a guess at the ACC stadiums without input from others. Just totally guessing here but Im thinking BC, Syracuse, and Pitt are probably nice in September and Miami, Tallahassee are not.
