Oakland is never nice, no matter what time of the year never nice.

i wouldnt call the sd game in early fall either...altho im sure the weather will be great...altho i never understood the need to go to a football game in nice weather...colder the better as far as im concerned

I do understand the football/cold weather tradition-of-it-all having spent years in the clutches of cold rain and sno. All the romance of steam rising off the sweat and the breath on NFL films, etc. And true, vomit and whizz doesn't smell as bad when frozen.

But November in SD is sublime. Best time of year in the west after generally coolish summers.

Yes, Oakland pretty much sucks anytime but it wouldn't be any better if it was cold. Plus batteries carry farther.

ha

the worst games of the year by far are the september johnsons where the sun is just relentlessly beating you down for 12 straight hours...god damn i hate those

JackStraw · April 15, 2009, 08:01:40 PM

but it's a dry heat...

Father Demon · April 15, 2009, 08:20:04 PM

Phanatic and I went to an Eagles game in KC a few years back - it was literally 90 degrees or more in the air and something like 105 on the field, plus the sun beating down on us was unbearable. Not a lick of breeze, and the worst part was is was so freaking hot that if you didn't finish your beer in 30 seconds or less, it took on the temperature of fresh piss.

But that was the awesome comeback from way behind game, so it made every minute worth it.

edit: found it:
Game Date: October 2, 2005
Eagles – 37
Chiefs – 31

Tickets on StubHub start around $84 right now. Single game tickets will go on sale this summer.

I'm still going. Depending on how much my ticket costs, I may be drinking PBR instead of Hell's Belle.

i think we all do that. except that most of us have enough common sense not to record it and post it on farging youtube and show the world what massive tools we really are contrary to our savvy on the internetz.
