Ehh. There’s a vast difference here. Try hiring the younger generation. So many are lazy, yet entitled. They believe they should be wealthy but don’t want to sacrifice and put in the difficult work to do it.

not wanting to sit outside and freeze your ass off to watch a game isn’t soft, it’s just smart. Let’s be real, there’s a lot of people in the older generations that have watched the decay of sports and the teams and what they represent and they aren’t going to put their health second for a game that truly isn’t the most important part of life. And that’s coming from someone that loves the college game.

The Browns would have lost the Dolphins game if it was in a dome.

99 was rainy and then ‘03 was was the year we decided it was the last one for a while. It was cold and wet snow. The next two in Ann Arbor I watched from balmy Singapore and those weather conditions were much better.
99 was rainy.  01 was cold but dry IIRC.  93 and 95 were bitterly cold and dry.  I remember 93 was my first UM-OSU game, and my mom came home from the mall with new boots and asked me to try them on.  I initially rebuffed, and said I'd do it later, I didn't need them right then.  She said, yes you do, it's too cold for me, you are going to the game.

In general, cold but dry is fine.  You can dress for it.  I'll take 30 and dry over 90 and dry.  Hell, even over 80 and dry.  There is no escape from just sitting out there baking.

Now once you add moisture, that changes.

Worst weather I've ever sat through

Thanks, I was going to say you guys must not be skiers. There are a lot of things you can do to combat the cold. Long underwear negates most of it. It might be freezing, but you'll be sweating. A strategically placed handwarmer on the back of the neck will warm up your entire circulatory system. If somehow all of that is not enough? Jog up the stadium steps from the bottom to the top, and you'll be stripping down to your base layer for about a half hour or so.

yeah, i summed it up poorly. You're correct. The cold is not necessarily what I mind. It's the cold and snow or rain that I cannot stand. I can deal with frigid weather and dress appropriately. And I prefer snow over 34 degree rain. Absolutely awful.  That being said, 2003 was something else.. clearly not 1995 lol. ELA, you're a champ for sitting through that, but 2003 is up there for me.. Outside of an Indians home opener one year that I wildly read the forecast wrong and I went down in t-shirt and shorts and it was a high of 45 and cloudy

Found some weather data.  The weather at noon for that 1993 game was 36 degrees with wind at 30 mph, so a wind chill of 23

Granted that was the Saturday before Thanksgiving so that wouldn't even be notable for an NFL playoff game
