November weather is usually OK, but variable of course, it can be awful.  December weather of course leans into not so OK often enough.  It could be amusing to watch say Miami playing at Wisconsin in December ... it won't be like Orlando ...

Green Bay, Chicago, Cleveland, Buffalo, etc. have no problems attracting fans throughout the month of January.

This is a nothingburger as far as I'm concerned.

Weather is a thing, but teams will have to deal with it.  I watched San Diego play a playoff game in Cincinnati a while back, it was below zero with a howling wind.  It was about as cold a day overall I ever felt, just going out to  get firewood.  Cincy won.

a heated field will make it a bit softer, but doesn't make it feel warm

I've both watched and played football when it was in the 30s and drizzling.  That was miserable.

It's quite rare here, but it does occasionally happen.

Will help with injuries, I'd think.

While some Big Ten schools might be against playing November primetime games on NBC, Alberts said Nebraska shares a different view.

“I can only tell you from a University standpoint, as this is a part of our history and DNA. We’ve built our brand on being willing to play primetime games against great opponents,” Alberts said. “So if you are asking if Nebraska will be willing to play primetime games, I’ve got my hand up every day, twice on Saturday.

“We think the University of Nebraska in primetime is a great opportunity to showcase everything that’s great about the state of Nebraska, the University of Nebraska, and more importantly, the football program.”

I thought you midwest guys loved that cold weather shit.  What's the problem?

Barry Tramel is speculating that Colorado is close to leaving the PAC for the Big 12.  Announcement may be coming "soon"

I see MSU has moved the 2023 Black Friday game against PSU to Ford Field.  

I think is an acknowledgement that Big Ten Thanksgiving weekend games aren't really for the students, and never was.

I also wonder if this is a sign if MSU ever ends up hosting a playoff game,  they would also move that game to Ford Field.
