The Craziest Weather Games in Sports History

[@CompletelyNormal]

Fun fact: In all of professional baseball history, there has been exactly one game ever called on account of volcano. Shortly after the Mount St. Helens eruption, the Spokane Indians (at the time the AAA affiliate of the Seattle Mariners) had to cancel a home game because there was just too much volcanic ash to safely play a baseball game. Then the rest of their home games got rained out.

[@JPW-dr6vg]

What!? That's insane 🤯

[@jacksonschlierf2154]

Another cool hockey one, 1975 Stanley Cup between the Sabres and Flyers. It was so hot in Buffalo during game 3 that the arena filled with fog. There was also a bat in the area during this game.

[@anthonylombardo1261]

Maybe young kids shouldn’t make historic videos knowing how bad they will inevitably miss important marks.

[@VanessaDMusic]

@@anthonylombardo1261this is a very entitled comment

[@thecmpunkchant]

The Fog Bowl between the Bears and Eagles a couple decades back comes to mind as far as games you missed.

[@anthonylombardo1261]

Which is why kids under 25 shouldn’t be posting historic videos as content. It’s pathetic.

[@michaelhackett3715]

I watched that game on TV with my dad. He had lived in Ontario as a teen and mentioned the Grey Cup game that was just as foggy. Right on cue, the network announcers mentioned that 1962 Grey Cup game.

[@michaelbaucom4019]

December 12, 1982. Miami at New England. The game was called " The snowplow game " because a snowplow was used to clear a spot for the Patriots' kicker to kick the winning field goal. Miami protested this, to no avail, wiping the normally smug smile off Miami head coach Don Shula's face

[@seanlanglois8620]

the driver of the plow was on loan from the department of corrections😂

[@ibraheemrao8434]

Even before Bill Belichick New England was cheating.

[@user-st9lf6rk1x]

My personal favorite fact is that the plow is in the Patriots museum

[@bigjerry083]

another icyvert video has hit the SRS youtube channel

[@PASquared]

The 1965 12 Hours of Sebring race of the World Sports car Championship had conditions more suited for a boat race than a car race. Some teams cut holes in their floors to drain water. The photos from it are incredible

[@sirstewartwallace3917]

The Eagles-Lions game was one of five games that day played in the Snowpocalypse. You also had the Ravens-Vikings game that had one of the craziest finishes in NFL history, a game between the Packers and Falcons that had a comeback drive engineered by Matt Flynn, a game between the Chiefs and Washington that spawned a meme for how bad it was at halftime, and a Dolphins-Steelers game that ended in heartbreak for the Steelers when Antonio Brown was ruled out of bounds while trying to score the game-tying touchdown. There was another comeback win by the Patriots against the Browns that same day but the blizzard didn't hit Foxboro.

[@David_Drums]

I attended the Minnesota outdoor hockey game against St. Louis that was incredibly cold a couple years ago. I bought a hot chocolate and it froze within 20 mins of purchasing. I drank half of it before it froze. My toes probably got frostbite, and the venue opened club level concourses to serve as a warm shelter for fans to not freeze to death. I'm not sure I would do it again but it was an amazing time!

[@classjacksonlawsuit]

Came here to say this. Idk why that game and the Vikings-Seahawks 2015 playoff game weren't included.

[@benwellman367]

It was so cold it was causing the ice to have issues.

[@David_Drums]

@@classjacksonlawsuit And Bud f***ing Grant walked out for the coin toss in a short sleeved shirt! What a legend!

[@johnmackshighlights8103]

Didn’t they haft to heat the ice to? Or something

[@cavemanooga]

Growing up in Philly, the pickle juice game is why I have 2 jars of pickle juice in my fridge right now.

[@Chicagofellow15]

Great Video! brought back a lot of fond memories. I wish there were more crazy weather sports events nowdays, but it is becoming less common with indoor stadium becoming more popular.

[@zacharyjeffares8158]

If you were talking about extreme heat, have I got a good one for you: The Slurpee game in Sunrise. Yes that’s what it’s called. With playoff implications on the line, and just having moved out of Miami Arena into their current venue in Sunrise Florida, the Florida Panthers played the Dallas Stars near the end of the season in late May to try and clinch a playoff spot. The game was as described: a slush fest, inside an indoor rink. With record temperatures of being the hottest NHL game that wasn’t played outside. Unfortunately for the Panthers, the Dallas Stars were a team on a mission as despite being used to the unusual ice conditions of south Florida they lost in overtime 3 - 2. Mike Modano was quoted for the Slurpee comparison.

[@sirstewartwallace3917]

Reunion Arena, the Stars' arena at the time, also had problems with their ice, which was a big factor in that arena being replaced.

[@seafoamshame1]

This is more of a Worst Field Conditions Ever but the Steelers vs Dolphins MNF game in 2008 where the field was so bad a punt didn’t bounce because it got stuck in the field.

[@raychapman1134]

Lmao. As soon as i read your comment, i remembered watching that game and how we all got a good laugh at that.

[@michaelmartz8426]

I was in the stadium that night. The stadium was evacuated due to a lightning strike. We ended up in a bar and never reentered the stadium.

[@ibraheemrao8434]

Correction it was 2007 and 4 some reason I remember I had homemade French fries for dinner.

[@healthyminds9279]

That Bruins Lake Tahoe game was the most beautiful sports setting I've ever seen. I remember watching it on TV. It's what I picture Heaven to look like.

[@noelleelizabeth9991]

8:24 the Mariners first post season game in 21 years was also played during horrible air quality from nearby wildfires, it looked smoky inside T Mobile Park too.

[@Trillyana]

I went to a Jets-Falcons game in NJ that was basically a monsoon and was enjoying getting to watch the game staying perfectly dry due to the overhang above our seats.......until we had to leave

[@juliaz12345]

You totally forgot the Eagles vs Bears Fog Bowl from the mid-80's. That was so bad that the players could barely see their hands in front of their faces.

[@jamiegreenberg8476]

i vividly remember watching the snow bowl in a restaurant and i thought it was the coolest thing at the time

[@cyclopsboi]

ironically the next week after that dallas game they got to play against the cardinals in the old tempe scorchbox, sun devil stadium, where you had to bring a blanket or a towel so you didnt get burns from the seats/benches

[@stewart_foster]

I was at the 2022 Canada vs Mexico soccer qualifier for the world cup in Edmonton, they called the stadium "Iceteca" after Mexico's Azteca because of the cold. There's a great video of one of the Canadian players jumping into a pile of snow after scoring a goal, worth checking out

[@Marylandbrony]

The 2019 Women’s World Cup was played in the worst heat wave France so far ever had and was over 100 degrees at several points.

[@BigPoppaPun]

7:42 one of Chris Berman's best WHAAAAAAP's of all time

[@scotttill3847]

I went to an SF Giants game in 2018 in the middle of summer and it was staggeringly hot, like 99 or 100F. The bay never gets that hot. I live in the North Valley where we regularly see temps above 110 in the peak of the summer.

[@slapshot68]

Not exactly a weather event, but the 2007 ALDS featured bugs that bothered Joba Chamberlain

[@thatguyuknow1837]

Surprised the Fog Bowl between the Eagles and Bears wasnt in the video, they say the coaches and players on the sideline couldn't see what was happening and the QBs couldnt see the safetys when playing

[@terryd3008]

I remember there being a Busch/Xfinity series race at Bristol that had to be stopped for a quick snowstorm. Also, what about when the Coca Cola 600 would wind up with a halftime break every year for rain?

[@UKenn78]

2022 NHL Winter Classic between St. Louis and Minnesota. -5°F, which turn to -20 with the windchill, so cold that fans beers were frozen over.

[@WildWilliamPlayz2]

The Lake Tahoe Game Isnt Alone In NHL Outdoor Games To Have To Much Heat. In Fact Its Not Even The Only One In The State Of Nevada As When The Third NHL Outdoor Game And First Official One Was Played Back In The 1991 Pre-Season Between Gretzkys Kings And Messiers Rangers. They Held It At Ceasers Palace In Vegas. The Ice Was Terrable But The Game Was Finished. The Temperrature Was Between 85 And 95 Degrees.

[@zachpower2192]

I’ll throw in a vote for the Flyers/Sabres classic “fog game” from the 1975 Stanley Cup finals!

[@JohnDerendingerJr]

They had to cancel a football game down in Texas due the parking lot flooding

[@elizidele2916]

The Celtics played a game in the 80’s where the AC wasn’t working and it was near 100F

[@banjoplayingbison2275]

The old Boston Garden arena in the 80s had another incident that created fog during the 1988 Stanley Cup finals due to the AC malfunctioning

[@jasonfire3434]

The Monday Night game between the Steelers and Dolphins where the ball basically stuck in the mud was hilarious

[@joeorsini6110]

A field goal from the Steelers was the only score for that game. The Steelers shut out the Miami Dolphins by a score of three to nothing.

[@ZemeckisTEN]

Pickle juice puts Gatorade to shame?! LMAO!

Pats bills like 3 years ago we ran it all but 3 plays crazy game... Josh allen actually threw a couple balls that worked truly one of the strongest arm every

I classify the raw sewage falling from above at Fed Ex Field as rain

[@howieray9083]

Fun fact I was at the Yankees '96 opener. One of the choices for the free ticket turned out to be Doc Gooden's No Hitter against Seattle.

[@edmguy11]

no Fog Bowl is criminal

[@3Dsjk]

The first home game in Blue Jays history was almost snowed out. Fortunately, unfortunately for players knees, they had an artificial turf field, so the snow could be shoveled off without worrying about damage like on a grass field. There was a field goal attempt in a CFL game that was even more dramatic than the sideways kick in the Bears-49ers game. It looked like the kicker hit it perfectly, but it was heading into the wind, and the ball practically stopped in mid air just before it reached the goalposts and fell short. There’s nothing you can do in that situation. One year during a sports car race at Watkins Glen, there was a sudden downpour that caught everyone out on slick tires, which can handle a little dampness but any amount of water on the surface is like driving on ice. Over the next two minutes, car after car slid straight through turn 1 and piled up in the runoff area. The announcers were beside themselves every time another car came along and realized they couldn’t stop.

[@dls303]

Liked the ones you listed. Respectfully, I'd like to suggest adding the Fog Bowl between the Bears and Eagles.

[@StarkRavingSports]

really good call throwing that one out for future consideration

[@payrysdoscs4903]

The thumbnail; I remember that time with that horrible air quality. It was nearly unbearable just to walk from my house to the bus stop a mere 500 feet away.

[@davidsotomayor8713]

Suprised game 5 of the 1984 NBA Finals didn't at least get an honorable mention in the heat segment.

[@x-90]

Last years Dolphins vs Chiefs game where Andy Reid mustache froze over was an insane visual

[@dvoraksdishes]

You missed the NFL game with only a 6 minute half because rain during the 2nd quarter had delayed the game so long they didn't even send players to the locker rooms. Chiefs Seahawks.

[@sirstewartwallace3917]

Incredibly, this isn't the last time a Sunday night game hosted by the Chiefs was played in a monsoon and had a long delay as a result. The Sunday Night game between the Chiefs and Bills in 2021 also had a long rain delay and ended up being the longest game in the history of NBC's run of Sunday night games.

[@thedecipher346]

ayy hockey content finally

[@DarthPlagueisTheWise620]

That would’ve been sick if they could’ve played ON Lake Tahoe

[@David_Drums]

Wasn't there an indoor hockey game where the HVAC system broke or was so bad that there was fog? Not really weather but kind of

[@CutterHistorical]

1975 Stanley Cup Finals Game 3 and 4

[@estellegrignon]

There was the fog game between, I believe, Buffalo and Philly in the mid 1970s. But there was also a game that had to be cancelled in 1988 in the finals between Edmonton and Boston because of the heat

[@cohengamertv6548]

@@estellegrignonthe 1988 game was cancelled due to the power going out at Boston Garden

​@juliaz12345 This game was in 2005. The 2 point conversion was added to the NFL in 1994

I remember when the NFL delayed a game in a dome due to lightning, but allowed a game to be played in a "bomb cyclone" (SNF Colts at Niners)
