The coldest I can remember that was recently was when LSU played Troy. A week after losing to Bama in OT and not many fans in attendance to start the game. Wind was ridiculous for that game. Then LSU fell behind and the attendance fell as people left the game. I had thought of leaving but stayed when LSU scored a TD when JJ was inserted into game. I stayed till the end. That was coldest game I can remember. Mostly because of the wind that was blowing in from the north. Some Arkansas games after Thanksgiving were cold too.

I remember the 2003 Arkansas game being pretty dang cold.

Thankfully it was a 1:30 kickoff. It was pretty brisk that day.

I honestly don't remember 2008 Troy being as cold as everyone says, but my buddy snuck a flask in and a group of us moved into the student section after halftime, so that could've clouded my memory.

My vote goes for the 2002 Bama game. Bone-chillingly cold, wind howling and we got blown out. Oddly enough, the best part of that day was tailgating with a couple of older Bama grads who were good folks.

I've never been more miserable then when I left TS after playing Ark in '07. I was freezing and severely sunburned on top of the extreme disappointment of THINKING our title shot was over.

That is the last cold game I remember.

The coldest I have ever been in Tiger Stadium, and maybe anywhere else for that matter, was a Utah game in the mid 1970's. It was the last game of the year. It may have gotten moved to after the Tulane game because of a hurricane or something. It was freezing. Don't ask me why I didn't have enough sense to leave and go home.

The AtM game w Johnny Manziel at QB his last season was pretty cold...... I remember my brother and his wife getting up midway in 3rd qtr to get away from the rain/cold - and they live in North Dakota! Most games late in the season are a bit chilly but this one was bone chilling. Didn't help that we were in nose bleed section. However, it was good to witness another "W" in Tiger stadium!

Troy, 2008. Comeback win, freezing cold by the end of the game.

The last time I was miserable in Tiger Stadium was Manziel's SO year--so I guess '13--it was cold and raining and sucked.


Yep. That was miserable. Alot of people underdressed for Fla last year and were miserable in the shade.


I recall Tulane 93 as my absolute coldest. But also the miserable Bama 02. Two others were Arky 03/08

LSU vs. Arkansas in 2003 was the coldest day game I remember. The wind made it miserable. Thank God LSU blew out the inferior piggies 55-31 that day on their way to a National title.

I can't remember what year it was against Arkansas, but it was a day game. Their 3 headed monsters ran all over us. It was pretty cold, but I had a fifth of crown in my jacket which made it alot better.
