Troy 2008. Coincidentally, 2008 also had the hottest game I've been to. LSU vs App state/Gustav.

Was actually at the October 30, 1993 Ole Miss game with my wife, brother and his wife. We brought blankets and hot chocolate and were sitting in the second level of the north end zone and remember a game winning field goal going through the uprights on our side for an exciting finish to the game! Remember seeing ice from someone's cup on the cement that never melted the whole game, lol.

I know it can't be the coldest but I froze my dick off during a&m 2013. Was in the nose bleeds in that rain drizzle with nothing but a cotton long sleeve.
Also had nothing but a long sleeve button up for notre dame Nashville but I was HAMMERED on whiskey so I was fine. People kept asking if I was cold

The coldest that I remember would have been during Coach Mac's tenure and it was the last game of the season against those boys used to the cold from Utah. I believe we beat them something like 35 to 7. Tiger Stadium was about half full as it was a losing season that year or maybe .500, cant exactly remember but at Kickoff I remember it being around 38 degrees and dropping to near freezing by the end of the game. Would have been between 1973 or 1974 season. 
Just went back thru the thread and DenverTigerMan has it , the 1974 game agains Utah, that has to rank as one of the coldest in my lifetime.

a coupe that I remember were Arky 2003
that was at least a nice day, which made it bearable
'97 ND at home was pretty bad (but the independence bowl was the worst game I've ever experienced)

Though not exactly on point. I froze my arse off at College Station last year. The temperature had to drop at least 20 degrees when the sun went down. The end result however was worth it.

Anybody remember the Oregon St. Game. I can't remember what year it was but it was so damn foggy I couldn't see anything down on the field. I looked at my buddy at one point and said what just happened. He said I don't know I can't see shite. I'm pretty sure we were playin Oregon state.
2004 and their kicker kept missing.

That damn comeback against Troy State in 2008 has to be up there. I sat in the south endzone and the damn wind was swirling down inside the stadium the entire night. With the wind chill I'm willing to bet it was in the 20s.
The girl I brought with to the game actually convinced me to leave because she was so cold (even though I had warned her previously and advised her to dress warm).
I only missed the greatest comeback in school history. And I didn't get any that night either. frick me, right?

I didn't go to the Ole Miss game that year and I know it was technically colder but the Arkansas game in 93, which was the last game of the season that year was bitterly cold. I wore the heaviest coat I had and it was not enough. Alcohol didn't help either. And if they had won they would have played in a New Year's Day bowl game which would have been big time for that era of LSU football. Of course, Arkansas curb stomped them.

I was a kid during the ND game and I remember being so god damn cold
Posted on 8/18/15 at 10:42 pm to johnnydrama
Yep, coldest game I've been to is that Troy game. Absolutely miserable. And since everyone left there was nobody to block the wind.
Kept trying to cozy up to this one hottie but one of my former friends kept cockblocking me. Miserable game all around.

This is the winner. We made a campfire out of one of the wooden bleachers.

1995 against Ole Miss was bad too. I was sitting in the south upper it was like 38 degrees with a strong north wind.
I don't get to go to many games but I was there. I was sitting about midfield 6 or 8 rows from the top of the upper deck on the west side. Very bad. Stayed to the end.

Late 70's night game with South Carolina - temp around 38 starting the game dropped to around 32 with north wind blowing around 15 mph.

ND 97 where they sold out of hot chocolate; was like ND weather and we played like it! The rematch at I Bowl was colder and we played like cold weather team!
That first game was only like 50 degrees but somehow that was the coldest I've ever been in my life.

I was thinking about that game from the Mac era, but thought we were playing Wyoming in the game I remember being so cold. Honorable mention to the Miami drubbing where we got soaked from a downpour in the first half and a blue norther roared through after halftime and I was in a polo shirt. Most hard nips of all time. 
But...Troy. Yes, I bailed, shortly after halftime. Frozen. Horrible walk back to the car. Youngest son was in the Stadium Club, said it was as empty as he's seen TS during a game.

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
I remember that one well. I think we won on a late FG.
