The Perfect Superbowl

[dreemes]

To me the perfect Superbowl, or any football game, is like this...

Temperatures in the single digits.
Wind speeds in the double digits.
And snowing like crazy.

Watching football is no real fun unless the players are sliding more than 20 yards down the field with icecycles hanging from their noses.

Of course the draw back to this is the cheerleaders have to bundle up. But maybe that would stop Janet Jackson from having a wardrobe malfunction.

I'd donate space heaters for the cheerleaders...

You mean like the NFL Championship Game, 1967?

"The 1967 game, played on December 31, 1967 at Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wisconsin, remains one of the coldest NFL games on record. The official game-time temperature was -13°F / -25°C, with a wind chill around -48°F / -44°C. The bitter cold overwhelmed Lambeau's new turf heating system, leaving the playing surface hard as a rock and nearly as smooth as ice. The officials were unable to use their whistles after the opening kickoff; the referee blew his metal whistle to signal the start of play and it froze to his lips. For the rest of the game, the officials used their voices to end plays."

No, only the year before the NFL had replaced the stone ones with metal.
