Eagles Fans Headed to Coldest Super Bowl in History

Super Bowl 52 in Minneapolis will likely go down in history as the coldest on record.

Conditions will be dry with temperatures in the 60s inside the dome at U.S. Bank Stadium, but not outside.

For spectators traveling to and from the stadium or taking part in the outdoor festivities, conditions will include temperatures that drop from the mid-teens midday to single digits at kick off with wind chills dropping to -15. Adding to the dangerous cold will be snow showers over Super Bowl weekend.

The coldest indoor Super Bowl on record until now was 16 degrees outside the Silverdome in Pontiac, Michigan, in 1982 with the 49ers and Bengals.

The coldest outdoor Super Bowl was 39 degrees in 1972 in New Orleans when the Cowboys faced the Dolphins.

The warmest Super Bowl on record was 82 degrees both in 1973 in Los Angeles when the Dolphins beat the Redskins and in 2003 in San Diego when Tampa Bay faced Oakland.

Last year, the Super Bowl in Houston was a warm one with temperatures in the upper 70s.
