I wonder how many fans from the Dallas-Green Bay Ice Bowl got treated for frostbite and hypothermia? Probably not many, people kept their shirts on at games back then and the games were played in the afternoon, not at night.
NFL logic: Play the dome game on Sunday (Lions/Bucs) in the afternoon and play the outdoor game (Bills/Chiefs) at night.

People were tougher. And 4 below isn’t much different than 0 that it was a few hours earlier. |

People were tougher. And 4 below isn’t much different than 0 that it was a few hours earlier. Very few people got to the game early, but the stands were filled at kickoff. Games were shorter back then. Still, multiple fans and players were treated for frostbite and hypothermia. At least one of the referees lost part of his lip and multiple referees were bleeding from the mouth during the game, because of the whistles. People were not as stupid (common-sense wise, at least), which helped. And people were tougher. Plus, it was generally colder back then, so you were more acclimated to it and how to handle it. And coaches demanded that players be tougher, because they were basically indentured servants. A lot of the technology that we have access to was not there to help at the time, so it was probably miserable for the coaches, players, and refs in comparison. |

I was a 7 year old lad (visiting from Oregon) at the game and it was cold. Wisconsinites are used to the cold and plan accordingly. Carry in bags were loaded with food, blankets, sleeping bags, and thermoses aplenty with hot food and warm drinks. The bench seats made huddling for warmth easier. I wasn't tall enough to see the winning touchdown and kept asking "What happened" |

If you went to OSU, you're automatically a "real fan.". Although, I know a dude who went to OSU, and his wife is duck. He has essentially converted to a duck.....their kids all wear duck gear. He is a disgrace, imo.
