The Big Game is this weekend in Indianapolis. It's Super Bowl Sunday and the entire nation will be watching the Patriots battle the Giants. Whether you are watching it for the football, the halftime show, or even the commercials, the weather will be a factor for the iconic weekend. Although the game will be played in the Lucas Oil Stadium, there will be many people tailgating.
Early Sunday morning, there will be some rain moving into the region, but that will not affect any tailgating plans. Sunday after noon, winds will be out of the north bringing in cold air making the temperatures drop, so a jacket will be needed as you're grilling hotdogs and hamburgers. A high is expected of 47 with a low of 29. This is somewhat warmer than average because the average high for february is 39 and the average low is 22.
In 2014, the Super Bowl committee voted to have its first ever superbowl out in the elements in a cold weather location, that is, not in a dome. This Super Bowl will be held at the Met Life Stadium in New Jersey. We could never know what the weather will do in February 2014, but it sure will be an excited super bowl! The Weather Channel has an interesting article on weather events during the super bowl. http://www.weather.com/outlook/weather-news/news/articles/five-worst-weather-nfl-super-bowls-title-games_2012-02-02
