Question 2

How does weather affect NCAAF games?

Accepted Answer

Depending on the type of weather, it can have a big impact on the performance of college football players. Inclement weather like rain or snow can have an adverse effect on the fields the players play on, which impacts their ability to run, throw, catch, and tackle. Additionally, extreme heat or cold weather can also affect the football and make it hard or slippery.

Question 3

Can inclement weather cause games to be postponed?

Accepted Answer

Most football games play on regardless of the weather conditions. Potentially dangerous weather like severe thunderstorms could cause a game to be delayed or a blizzard could cause a game to be played in a different location, but generally, these events are few and far between.

Question 4

Which NFL stadiums are most susceptible to bad weather?

Accepted Answer

Teams located in cold weather, rainy, or windy climates that play outdoors are the most susceptible to experiencing bad weather. Any team that plays outdoors runs the risk of playing in inclement weather. The teams that often play the most games in poor weather include the Ohio State Buckeyes, the Washington State Cougars, the Boise State Broncos, and the Northwestern Wildcats.

Question 5

What teams have retractable roofs at their stadiums?

Accepted Answer

College football teams with retractable roofs at their home stadiums or that play in domes allow them to play their games without having to worry about the weather affecting events on the field. Almost all college football teams play outside given that most play at on-campus sites. An example of a team that plays games in a dome stadium is the Syracuse Orange.
