Im from north dakota. NDSU plays in a dome. Its called the fargo dome. and UND plays inside too, its called the alerus center. And trust me ur all pussys and think that its SO COLD HERE, u get used to it and when we played football i wear a tshirt then underarmour and a T shirt over that. it keeps u more than warm on the sidelines. ANd when ur playing i was roasting. The coldest it ever got was in october when we played the eventual state champs it was like 10 degrees. We played our Biggest rivals and that game was like 20 and snowy. Then we played the team that made it to the state championship and it was 20 and like 40 mph winds which was a wind chill factor below 0. Well i could go on and on about the weather but bottum line is u will get used to it.

You raise an interesting point, one that I have seen argued by some insightful people. Teams like Florida and Miami build for speed because they rarely, if ever, play a game in very adverse conditions. Actually, I take that back: the heat can be just as adverse as the cold, especially to teams who have to come from cooler climates down to the Swamp. Same thing happens with FSU, Miami, Georgia and a lot of Southern teams. It's even a factor in the NFL. The Florida teams workout, hold camp and play in brutally hot conditions early in the season. I recall many times when teams like the Steelers would come down in late September or October to play in Jacksonville, and they'd be dragging their knuckles on the ground by halftime. If there ever was a playoff system in that division of college ball, I think the weather would play a bigger factor, especially late in the season and for teams that had to play in the cold. As for bowl games, someone else mentioned the need to play them in ideal conditions. That's exactly right. Those things are big money, and you have to sell tickets. That's why they're in the south or they're indoors.

Yeah ask the New England Patriots, ask the Green Bay Packers, ask the Denver Broncos, ask the Pittsburgh Steelers. Quite a few pro teams that play open stadium cold-weather games. See that is FOOTBALL that isn't Corporate ball. If they would play the Superbowl for the game and fans instead of the Corporate sponsors you would see it played in cold weather games.

They are a hearty bunch up there. They get used to being in severe cold. I lived in Wyoming for over three years. It gets way cold there. Not as cold as N. Dakota, but not far off. Besides, when you're playing a sport, the blood flows faster thus warming the body up.

Coldest I've ever felt was in Baltimore, Maryland, during a snow storm. It was only in the thirties but it was to the bone.
I left work here last night and the weather was beautiful. Slight breeze and 28. I didn't have a jacket or need one for a short trip to the car. World of difference.
I love this state.

Dealing with cold is not a big problem. Dress in layers, stay dry, limit the amount of exposed skin, stay out of the wind and keep moving. Cold weather is kind of invigorating.
