Coldest Super Bowl ever!

Yep, you read that right. The super bowl being played tonight might set a record for the lowest temperature ever at kickoff.

"MINNEAPOLIS — Sunday’s Super Bowl is expected to be the coldest on record with temperatures in the low single digits around the 5:30 p.m. CT kickoff. Factor in the winds of around 10 mph, and it will feel like it’s well below zero."

I found several news articles on the subject including the above clip from USA today that was linked from drudge report.

Now I know this sounds like a perfectly fitting story as weather does effect on field performance of the teams.
Cold makes it harder to throw and catch.

But, and this is a big but.....

The game is being played inside a fricken domed stadium!
Lemme say that again, inside a domed stadium!
My god just stop already..

Coldest ever would be a Super Bowl at someplace like Lambeau.

Deal with what exactly? 60 degrees and no wind?

Awww the poor little darlings will get cold. Bunch of fairies don't know what cold is until you been on a rugby field in Britain in early February.

Who are you kidding?
As soon as summer rolls around you guys would head back north with your tails between your legs cuz everybody knows you're all born with hockey pads on....

I played Ice Hockey, they can suck my pucks if they moan about a slight chill.....


Hell I support sending hungry Polar bears and highly trained swat penguins onto the field at key times to keep me entertained...

Um, the players are not complaining and the game is inside a domed stadium....

why does the outside temp matter if they are playing in a heated domed stadium?

the media are such drama queens.

Not a dome anymore just saying

I read your post and thought the same thing as you. It is not the coldest SB ever played. These people, the media, are turning into some serious drama queens.

Yet still inside a climate controlled building, just saying.
