FBS teams have a 12 game schedule; so they certainly are playing the last week of November (which is close enough for me). If there's a conference championship game involved......yes, they are playing in December. Anytime in December has the potential to be damn cold.

No way in hell we get an outdoor stadium.

Coldstone creamery would launch a scorched Earth campaign to stop it.

Don't have to play in December to have Temps in the 20s and 40 mph wind gust. Shoot that was weeks ago already.

And it's happened before. The Blizzard bowl of 1986 was played with three more regular season games to follow. I still remember my friend's dad telling us we were crazy for going when I showed up to their house. Then he tossed the keys to the Suburban and said "don't drive your mom's car to the game."

a semi enclosed stadium stops 90% of the wind for the fans and with coils in the grass/turf and heaters all over. itll be cozy as hell into November.
FBS last home games are Nov 17 and 24th

Screw you and your outdoor stadium

Couldn't we just stick $150 million in the dome and make it work? Still a big chunk of money but people are making this harder than it needs to be and this is absolutely something the school should be looking at. The dome is starting to show its age anyway.....SF, Omaha and Mpls have facilities that destroy it. The city also needs to invest in it.

I still can't believe I stayed for that entire game. It was fun but it was sure cold and I don't think I'd want to do that again.

Greenbay has had a heated field for years and it hasnt done squat to make the stadium warmer. There is nothing cozy about an open air stadium in the winter.
So you can quit beating that dead horse.
