The latest GFSx MOS temperature forecast is now -8 deg. F -10 deg. F for game time in Green Bay on Sunday evening for the playoff game between the Packers and the 49ers. This is getting awfully close to the record coldest NFL game temperature of -13 deg. F, set Dec. 31, 1967 at Lambeau Field during “The Ice Bowl”, the NFL Championship game between the Packers and Dallas Cowboys.
The 2nd coldest game was Jan. 10, 1982 at Riverfront Stadium during the AFC Championship game between Cincinnati Bengals and San Diego Chargers, at -9 deg. F, so Sundays game might take the #2 spot instead.
The deciding factor will be the timing of how fast the coldest air moves in on Sunday. The air mass is plenty cold enough to break the record, with a Monday high temperature forecast of -14 deg. F.
The top 10 coldest NFL games are listed here. Makes my hands hurt just thinking about it.
The good Lord is obviously on your side.
Will Algore be interview in the pre-game?
What can we do to avert this climate change crisis?
Perhaps Bob Costas can enlighten us all to the adverse effects of global warming during the half-time show.
On another note. Is this game “blacked out” in GreenBay, Wi yet? Last I heard this wasn’t a sell out.
Not sure. The Meijer grocery chain bought the last 1200 tix here in Indy and donating to military families.
Tix were bought in Indy for the Green Bay game. Is that correct?
KC @ Colts.
Tomorrow.

Last info is that they got an extention until 4pm today to sell out on tickets. If not sold out, it’s blacked-out for TV coverage within 75 miles of the stadium in Green Bay.
They wouldn't dare. Those TV folks don't understand Packer fans.
Riots in the streets even if it's -10.
I saw a tweet that the local TV stations bought up the remaining tickets to prevent the blackout.
Are y’all cold enough? :P
Bet your employer does a bang up business in 3-4m with people replacing all their outdoor plantings that were ‘iffy’ in your zone.
FWIW all NFL playoff games to be streamed online

No blackout... Tickets are sold.
I assume though you have to belong to a cable/Dish provider to be able to stream the games.
I don’t know the answer to your question, it looks like a mixed bag:

I can say authoritatively that all NFL game streams are readily available via pirate sites in Europe.
