Speaking of freezer, the weather in the State of Michigan can get cold as early as September and is as unpredictable as Michigan construction timetables.

While snow games are fun to watch on TV and fun for the players, sitting in 30-degree weather at night can be potentially dangerous for older, more experienced fans.

I went to a November noon game against Ohio State back in 2016 and while all the walking and Bailey’s and coffee kept me warm before the game, by the middle of the second quarter, I was shivering. Even with hats, gloves, and layers, sitting in cold weather can get rough quickly.

Ford Field offers a perfect temperature so you can focus on the product on the field instead of checking to make sure you still have all your toes despite only feeling seven of them.
