What game was the coldest you attended or played in ever?

[Tornado89]

1982 Alcoa at Sweetwater. 10 degrees with wind. I remember Paul Rice hitting me on the side of the head as I was coming across the middle on a pass. So cold it felt like he hit me with a 50 gallon metal garbage can.

Back in 1976....Union City played Memphis Mitchell at UTM in the first round of the playoffs....It had come an ice/snow storm a couple days earlier and there was still snow and ice on the ground and bleachers..It was freakin COLD!!!!....I have been to some Clinic/BC-BS title games and been very cold by the end of those Saturday sessions...It was spitting snow the night Union City and Tyner played for a championship back in 97 in Nashville..

Back in October 2002, leftover Hurricane ran came through on Friday night that brought 50 mph winds in about 40 degree weather. Play 48 minutes of football in pouring rain and that wind. Man the shower after the game hurt.

The 03 Milan-Huntingdon semifinal game is the coldest I've ever been.

1996 - Lexington/Beech, first round of the state playoffs. It rained all day, the field was a mudhole, then the temp dropped to about 30 degrees that night by kickoff.

 

And any 05 quarterfinal game last year.

That was the second coldest Sol.

 

Game 10 in 1994. Lexington @ Collierville for the region championship in 6-4A. That was the coldest game that I have ever been at. I didn't want want to come out of the game because playing was the only thing that would keep me remotely warm. There was no rain that night, it was snow. That same year we went back to Collierville to watch them and Brentwood Academy play in the playoffs, and it wasnt as cold as that game.

Alcoa and Brentwood Academy played for 2A championship after your game. The sun was going down when the game started and whatever ice you guys chipped off had frozen back by the time we got there. Lots of people were spending the game in the first aid stations. Vanderbilt Stadium, with all those aluminum seats, was like a giant walk-in freezer. I think the temperature was around 10 degrees with a hellacious wind chill factor.

Definately one of the coldest games I have ever attended. Smith County played @ Portland in 91'. My teeth still chatter at times thinking of those two.

Fulton City KY @ S Hopkins in '85 amidst freezing rain felt as if wet hands were blocks of ice.
