Wow, Dude!Weather Underground's data says it was probably 49 degrees at halftime, but I didn't want anyone to think I was biasing the analysis, so I used 51 instead. It is very likely that the rain falling on the field (and on the footballs, of course) was quite a bit colder than the surface air temperature too. Raindrops usually form at altitude where it is colder and they are warmed up as they fall. Of course they often reach the ground colder than the surface air temp. Again though, I didn't want anyone to say that ANY of the numbers were fudged. that is also why I used 72 degrees and not 75, like some others have.
I thought this was an outside source, not one of our own.
Well done, sir!
