How the weather conditions affect a real nfl game ?
Posted: Mon Nov 25, 2019 11:03 am
Because I’m almost a newbie in this beautiful sport (no more than year & half involved), the problematics around
atmospheric conditions is higly valuable for me.
Let’s discuss a few important issues as follows:
1) How does the strong wind affect a game ? Does it worsen the passing game greatly or suggest more often using of running moves?
What do you deem as strong winds – ones with speeds above 10 or 15 mph, or even higher ?
What are the most windiest places in America, probably area around big lakes – Chicago, Detroit, Buffalo ?
2) How does the low temperature affect a game ? Especially according to pass/run game and probability for
(serious) injuries under such circumstances… What places in America are most influenced by low temperatures
in the winter/ autumn ? What values in °C \°F do you consider to be low temperature ?
3) How do the showers worsen game conditions ? What about heavier rains thru autumn ? Is the pitch the right place
for running game then ?
4) Does the same as upper-mentioned apply for snow weather ? Heavy snowfall in north USA in winter probably is a big
problem for both sides of the game…
5) Let’s change the trend – what do you think about games played at high altitudes, such as Denver Miles High or sometimes in Mexico City
at Azteca Stadium. Is it easier to kick the ball there for a field goal and why ? Some people say the same for games under dome…I don’t know
yet. What do you reckon as high altitude place , how many meters above sea level ?
6) How does warm weather (high temperature) affect a real nfl game ? What kind of playing get upper hand then – pass or play, and why ?
I’ve heard ,the warm temperatures allow the ball to carry better… Is it true ? What values do you consider as hot weather – 30-35 ℃
or even higher ?
7) Does high level of humidity play any role to american football ? I suggest, that during summer in south states (for example Florida, New
Orleans and others) very wet conditions (above 75-80% humidity) create any (negative ?) effect onto games, played there ?
What do you think about it ?
I’ll be very glad to hear as much opinions as possibly.
Don’t hesitate to add views to other weather conditions, which I had forgotten to mention above…
