But I was there for undefeated Bears at the Meadowlands in 2006. Poured rain, cold as hell, and Hester ran back that 108-yard kickoff. Brutal.

This is mine too.

Christmas Eve 1989 vs. the Raiders. It was about 10 degrees at kickoff and dropped from there. It was so bad my face turned blue.

2013 I think? It’s the game where Eli hurt his ankle at the very end. Last game of the season. It rained. I was completely soaked. Never felt better getting into a shower.

Randall Cunningham did the 91 yard punt is the coldest I remember. The wind that day was so unbearable (and so was the result). I think it took like four day for my feet to unfreeze.

I was young but I was like 5 at the 1981 Dallas Giants final game where we won to go to the playoffs and that game was really windy or cold, but because I was so young I don't know if that is a vague memory or not.

hard to remember -and I see mentioned here the 1990 Bills game late in the season when Simms went down. -cold- wet rain bordering freezing temps the 86 championship game with the biting wind also the 1990 season Chicago playoff game - very cold - snow ice on the stadium floors below your feet - saving grace was the bright sun always prepared with a cold weather suit. - wet rainy games were always the worst

With respect to the 1990 Chi playoff game, My father was away on business and my mom took me to that Bears playoff game, the block of ice under your feet was insane. The part of your body that suffers the worst (or at least for me it did was my feet) to be on a block of ice for three + hours was insane. My mother spent the entire game in the corridors because she could not take it.

and the worst was vs Tenn., 12/16/2018. Cold, pouring rain. Giants getting shut out at halftime. I swear there were less than 200 people in the stands at the start of the 3rd qtr. The weather always seems worse when we suck.

Agree completely. And I've also been to a million games. This game was so bad, the weather was so bad, the team was so bad, etc. etc. etc.

That was the Bo Jackson Raider team, when he was at the height of his career and the “Bo Knows” Nike campaign.

Giants won the Game and held Bo in check.
The Monday New York papers had a photo on their back page of a guy who was in my section holding a small sign he had made “Bo Don’t Know 10 Below”.

but the Giants were playing the Bills late in the year and we had seats in the uppermost row with our backs exposed to the wind. I am an outdoorsman who has spent more hours that I can ever hope to count in miserable freezing weather including cod fishing bouts out in the Atlantic in January. But I don't think I was ever colder than that game even though I was well dressed for the cold.

I recall that frigid game as well. Bitter cold but on the sunny side of stadium you got a few extra degrees! Meggett with a huge punt return for a touchdown.

Rams game with Flipper Anderson afterwards was a big blow.

The last few years there have been numerous November and December rainy shitty games. Too many to even count.

I went to 4-5 games a year or more back in the 80-90-2000s and don’t remember one bad weather day. I remember cold, but not nasty wet crap. Because they were winning.

2018-2019 was the worst. Slop fest after slop fest.

I went to a decade straight of home games and that was by far the coldest of them all. Bitter cold with the old stadium wind whipping across the parking lot. Needed handwarmers, footwarmers the whole arsenal. Only game my tailgate crew ever took breaks in their vehicles to warm up. And the game went to overtime!

I was there and it was glorious. That was literally one of the most enjoyable days of my life. From sun up to midnight it was just.... perfect. You could have made it into a movie.

Ben McAdoo was fired a few weeks earlier. Sunny and clear, but windy, and the high temp that day was about 15 degrees. It was between 8 and 10 degrees in the lot all morning, and the game time temperature hovered around 13 degrees. I vividly remember putting my drink down on a table in the lot that morning, speaking to a friend for about five minutes, and when I turned around, the drink was already slushy because it began to freeze. Coldest game I’ve ever attended. Giants won 18-10. Oh yeah I forgot I was there for that, too.

I was there too. First play orleans darkwa took one 70+ to the house. I woke up the next day with a torn meniscus and didn’t even know it that day. It was so cold. We actually tailgated like assholes. Why. Why....

Walter Payton ice bowl to end the season.

I saw a giant receiver dive for a slant and slide 15 yards over the wet icy turf.

We lost the game in overtime, but the loss knocked George Allen and his skins out of the playoffs.

-10 degrees with a windchill of -30.

I went to a Patriots – Bucs game in 1988. A couple of co-workers at the time were huge fans and had an extra ticket. Wind chill was around -25 and I wasn’t prepared. It wasn’t nearly as cold when we left NY.

I didn’t care about the game and wanted to leave by the 3rd qtr. I remember Eason heaving a ball towards the back of the end zone from about the 25. I think he was just trying to throw it way. The ball fluttered in the wind and was intercepted near the goal line. Game goes into overtime and the guys I was with insisted on staying. It was brutal. Worst game of my life.
