00:00As we head into the weekend tracking the big game, the good news is the game is going to be played indoors

00:05Which is a good thing because we will see some rain chances in New Orleans on Sunday

00:09So whenever you break down the big game, we've had 37 outdoor. We have had 22 indoor

00:15We're gonna talk about why it's a good thing that we had so many games indoor

00:19Indoors including all of these ones that had the most rainfall here for the big game. You can see

00:252007 that game between Indianapolis and Chicago that had the most rainfall ever at almost an inch

00:31During the big game and also had a pretty good halftime show as well that one at the bottom

00:362000 between st. Louis and Tennessee that game had freezing rain in Atlanta. So the big game facts here

00:43There've been three of the big games with snow and you can see right here in 2006 Pittsburgh versus Seattle played inside a dome

00:50That's what all those little asterisks mean. So for all those games

00:542006 1982 in 2018 all those games were played indoors

00:58But they also had snowfall over an inch of snow fell during that game in

01:022006 so in addition to that whenever you look at the coldest ones all these games right here were played indoors

01:09including that

01:171972 between Dallas and Miami

01:19That was the only one played outdoors with a kickoff temperature of 39 very cold for sure as far as the warmest big games

01:27We have had that goes to

01:281973 between Miami and Washington kickoff temperature was 84 degrees

01:332016 Denver Carolina and Santa Clara 76. I actually got a chance to go to that game before this weekend
