Matt Stafford and Davonte Adams, and I’m sure others on the team lived and played in cold weather. We’ll be fine.

Hope they tarp the field or would snow keep it from being frozen?

 

[TSFH Fan]

btw, it's a heated field:

Nine inches below the root zone, more than 20 miles of ¾-inch plastic tubing circulates warm water and glycol (to prevent freezing), in a radiant heating system that extends the grass’ growing season. It also helps melt snow and keep the ground from freezing, so the surface remains pliable.

You know it. I still have a hard time wanting the viqueens to win ANY game.

Us senior Ram fans know weather can be a big deal!!! We remember the heartbreaking losses to the Vikings up there in Bloomington, MN.

Anyone with me on that? Man...I HATED THE VIKES BACK THEN!!!

Here's a pic of my pickup right now as it's sowing in ChicagoView attachment 74133

Why did you have to engage my PTSD over the "Mud Bowl??"

That's why last year was so gratifying. Any time we beat the Queens, I drink ale in large quantities.

Don't they have underground heaters like Lambeau?
Edit: oh, someone said it already. I'll just leave this here.

The Rams aren't doing any of this practicing in the cold outdoors. I don't think they even fly out to Chicago until Saturday. Hope this strategy holds up in that freezing weather Sunday evening.

Rams went to London right before kickoff. Beat the Jags pretty good. His message to the team is probably "Fly in, win, fly out." The team I'm sure feels confident.

I hate this game is in Chicago. Cold is bad enough but snow will make it a bitch. We just have never faired well in these types of games.
We are gonna have to run the ball well, IMO.

I live in SoCal. It was almost 80 degrees at their practice facility today. We're talking about a 70 degree DECREASE. But as the late great George Allen used to say before games in Minn or GB, "it's Ram weather".

 

[RamFan58years]

I've run a marathon (in my younger days) when the temp was 15° at the start.. and after the first mile I didn't even feel the cold anymore

Could you feel your feet?

Gametime Forecast as of Thursday:

Temperatures continue to slightly improve. Now 19 degrees at Kickoff actually going UP to 20 by games end. Chance of light Snow in 1st Half. Temps have risen 5 degrees since start of thread.

Yes the field has a radiant heating system so the ground wont feel as hard as asphalt. lol ..... Funny we used to play on asphalt as kids and we never complained.

 

[duanevalle22]

Let's not judge the outside ambient temperature to the field temperature.... Field temperatures are typically warmer and just below freezing on the field if the ambient outside weather is 5-10 degrees F

 

[duanevalle22]

I'm actually surprised that the NFL would let players play at 10-12 degrees or below because at that point it's bad for the lungs. Which is why if the field temps are at freezing (32 degrees) .... it's a go.

 

[FaulkSF]

Up to 21F now. Wind at 15MPH, 20% chance of snow. I’ll take those conditions!

 

[RAMSinLA]

73 degrees on Sunday at my house. Looks like I'll be striking up the barbee for some steaks.

 

[RamsOfCastamere]

It’ll be 68 with a chance of violent outbursts on my couch Sunday evening.

It will be 69 in my house, with a chance of 69 on my couch
