#10: The Coldest Super Bowl Ever Played

The coldest Super Bowl in history occurred in Super Bowl VI (1972) at Tulane Stadium in New Orleans, Louisiana, where temperatures at kickoff were a brisk 39°F (4°C), despite New Orleans typically being a warm-weather city, an unexpected cold front made for frigid playing conditions.

The Dallas Cowboys triumphed over the Miami Dolphins, and quarterback Roger Staubach secured his first Super Bowl MVP award. To prevent such weather-related issues, the NFL has since prioritized hosting the game in warm climates or indoor stadiums, ensuring that players—and fans—won’t have to endure freezing temperatures again.
