John Lee's Blogs: Fun in the...Snow? The Enjoyment in Cold Weather Games.

Your hands are freezing. Your breaths are giving off steam. But inside you don't care because your body is filled with either the enjoyment of your team being up, or the frustration from your team trailing in the game. Football is not the only sport the endures cold-weather games. Conspiracy theories aside, much of the country is experiencing unseasonably cold weather. Major League Baseball fans are having to dig out their cold-weather gear again just to watch their favorite teams. The Kansas City Royals are playing in low-40's degree weather right now.

For some fans it can ruin their experience at a game, personally I would be more worried about the game being delayed due to rain, or lightning if your watching the NFL. But after watching some nostalgic NFL films videos where they describe some of the games from the 1960's and 1970's at Lambeau Field described as the "Frozen Tundra," there is a sense of pride that goes with a fan who can sit through the cold weather to watch their team play.

My most prideful experience comes from the 2009 Homecoming Game for my soon-to-be alma mater. West Texas A&M University was playing their Homecoming Game in early October and the weather was forecasted to be cold. By halftime, half of the crowd had left the stadium as the temperature had dropped to 29 degrees, and even lower on the field. WT would win the game and my wife and I left with a cold that would bug us for a week, but it created a memory that we have not forgot and share to this day. It is not always the event that you go to that makes the memory, sometimes it is the conditions your attending in.

Just for you guys, here are some other cold weather games that you may remember watching on TV:

The Tuck Rule Game, 2000 AFC Divisional Round:
