That 2008 beatdown of Virginia Tech @ Tiger Stadium was brutal! 48-7

BTW it was really, really hot that day as well.

the 2015 Auburn game has to be up there. I have never been so miserable in my life. I stayed til partway through the 4th because I thought LF was going to break the rushing record. As soon as he was benched I got the F out of there.

Auburn 2015. Leonard Fournette didn't mind


That’s the hottest one I can remember actually going to. And like a dumbass, I wore a black shirt. Zero clouds and zero breeze in the lower bowl southeast corner end zone seats. Was absolutely brutal. Section was out of bottled water when we walked in 5 minutes before kickoff.

I have to vote for the 2004 Oregon State season opener. It was *hot*. Then it *poured*. Then it was *hot* AND *steamy*. Ugh.


Kickoff for that game was around 5 pm, so can't say the game was the hottest, although it started that way.

It did pour, however, but at least during the delay we got to see the dude streak across the field.

That was the game Alexis Serna, OSU kicker, missed 3 XP's including one in OT to lose the game. He went on to win the Lou Groza award the following year.

Florida 2013 was hotter than hell, especially for an October game. Saw multiple people taken out on stretchers.

2013 florida was brutal. I was on east upper and I’ve never sweated that bad from just sitting down.

In direct sun the whole time, except for 3 mins left in game. I made a stand and didn't leave. Hope it impresses you guys.

I originally thought is was 2000...I just remember that the escalators were not working and it was a very long, very hot walk up there.

According to WBRZ

All numbers include Heat Index;

1.) 2005 Tennessee 103
2.) 2000 Western Carolina 102
3.) 1990 Georgia 102
4.) Arkansas St. 98

WBRZ reported Saturday’s heat index above 100, not sure if it was a record?

Was at that game and was brutal. So was 95 Auburn game. My daughter was at 2015 Auburn game and she said it was supposedly 130 on the field. Most people don't remember we played Dec game in 85 against E Carolina and that had to be the coldest game. Was one of very few students at the game.

That’s the hottest I’ve been to. I was there with a friend who is an Auburn fan and he was miserable in every way. I had family at 2019 Utah State and they said that was a rough one as well.
