Villanove, 1947. Fans literally had little fires going in the stands.

2002 Bama takes the cake.
2001 Ole Miss was chilly as well.
Both games sucked to boot

two games that i froze my arse off at that i did not expect to:
UF 2001. Got our arse handed to us by Grossman. I remember leaving the house in the morning and it was hot. Had shorts and and tshirt on. 2:30 game, sat in the nosebleed and temperature had to drop a good 20-25 degrees that day and froze my arse off in the 2nd half.
TAMU 2014 Not a cold day during the day, after the rain, it was pretty damn cold, and i was a bit wet.
Troy 08 is the coldest game though.

My 2 coldest were Arky 2007 and my cheating pick was ND in Nashville last year. Was in the middle of the upper deck surrounded by ND fans and couldn't feel my feet after half time and was triple layered. Should have drank whiskey instead of beer I guess

97 ND was the coldest one that i can remember
I drove 1300 miles to go to that game, and it was colder in Baton Rouge than it was in Denver. What a miserable day.

DenverTigerMan, I agree, Utah game, November 30. 1974 was the coldest.

iwas at 2008 Troy. The only reason was that I had stadium club tickets

I think the Alabama 1979 game deserves a special mention.
It was cold to begin with, but it was miserable rain all night long. Some people described it as "waterfalls in the aisles" at certain times. I was a little kid, so I don't remember that for sure, but I know that was probably the least fun I ever had weather-wise.
When your team doesn't even get to the opposition's 40-yard line during the entire game, everything's gonna feel a lot colder.
A small little clip of the game with the rain is out there somewhere (Bear Bryant show?), but I can't find it.

I remember Arky '03 being cold, but not anywhere close to unbearable. Also, we only trailed by 7 at the most in that game. Arky scored a TD on the opening possession, LSU kicked a field goal and then returned a fumble for a TD to take a 10-7 lead. Never trailed after that.

2007 Arkansas was freezing. The wind was blowing all day and the gift shop sold completely out of sweatshirts, jackets, etc. I froze to death

3. Dec. 18, 1971: LSU vs. Iowa State (El Paso, Sun Bowl), 34 degrees; LSU won 33-15
4. Oct. 30, 1993: LSU vs. Ole Miss, 37 degrees; LSU won 19-17
5. Dec. 21, 1963: LSU vs. Baylor (Houston, Bluebonnet Bowl), 37 degrees; LSU lost 14-7
6. Nov. 21, 1998: LSU at Notre Dame, 38 degrees; LSU lost 39-36
7. Nov. 30, 1974: LSU vs. Utah, 38 degrees: LSU won 38-10

I was 6 yrs old and attended the Utah game in '74 . I remember wearing several Schweggman's brown paper bags around my feet to stay warm.
My grandfather wanted to leave at 1/2 time since the game was out of hand. I made him stay the entire game since I would walk down behind the Tiger benches after the game and ask for the tear-away jerseys

since you added away games, what about that cotton bowl from '47 when Ark and LSU tied 0-0
I couldn't find a temperature, but it was referred to as the ice bowl afterwards

The wind chill must have been hellacious, then. That's the coldest game I can remember.
It probably didn't help that we sucked for most of the game, and I had no reason to cheer. I definitely warmed up by the end of the game.

Notre Dame game in Tiger Stadium, I think 97 season. Bout froze to death.

The coldest for me personally was the Utah game, November 30, 1974. The temperature at game time was 38 degrees, with a brisk north wind around 25 mph. I was in the Tiger Band back then, and marching at halftime was painfully cold. Those old wool coats that were so hot in September provided no real warmth in November!
Agree. People were building fires out of whatever they could find

feeling the urge to look it up... it appears the coldest Tiger Stadium game ever was Oct. 30, 1993... a 19-17 LSU win over Ole Miss
temp at kickoff was 37 degrees
This was going to be my answer. Cold, cloudy, windy.
I went to Notre Dame 98 in South Bend and it didn't feel as cold, probably because it was sunny and the bourbon was a-flowin'
