I remember freezing my behind off in 1984 watching us beat Tulane. And then forgetting how cold I was at the end of the game when the fight broke out.

I'm sure that isn't the coldest one on record, but it is the coldest one I remember.

Besides that, Atlanta was flipping frozen during the SEC Championship game against UGA in 2003. Luckily, the game was indoors.

Badger and Wolverine fans would laugh their asses off if we rattled off actual gametime temperatures!

I remember the 1993 Ole Miss game being 37F at kickoff, and it was in October! The Troy game in 2008 was pretty chilly, but again, it was probably in the lower 40s, so it's all relative (to me being a wuss in cold weather).

As long as you are in the north endzone, you're good.

The 1996 Alabama game was pretty icy, but that had nothing to do with the temperatures.

This one.

And the '95 Independence Bowl was miserable. Drizzling sleet and wind hit us in the face all game.

Troy, west endzone, three rows from the top was as cold as I've ever been as long as I've lived in BR.
I'm from Chicago so I have at least a decent perspective.


West side, not endzone obviously.

The person who said Michigan and Wiscky fans would laugh is right. I was clod at the Troy game because I had jeans and a coat on. Up there you are cold with long johns, sweat pants, sweater, snow pants, jacket, winter coat, scarf, gloves, hand warmers, snow cap, winter socks, and boots on.

Troy - in the nosebleed section a couple of rows from the top. Wind was really terrible!

Coldest LSU GAME I've been to was the Liberty Bowl game against Baylor, in the 80's. It was COLD and they beat us bad.

That bama game in 02 that had an 8 PM kick off was the worst in the east upper.
