It's going to be a freezing cold one for sure, but we knew back in June when they announced a Dec 12 GC that the chances were pretty good it would be cold.
Grey wool work socks with Birkinstocks is valid footwear.
Also, a pair of fresh sport socks with a pair of sport sandals/slides feels incredible. That combo, however, never leaves the house… lol
We are complaining about 4 degree weather really? ..when did the Hamilton faithful become Toronto whimps?
In GC 2013; Regina we sat in -35 (incl wind chill) couldn't care less about the weather....the game was ridiculously painful...even when they fumbled the ball popped back to them...we knew it was gonna be a long night. Only time I've been to Sask.
Dry cold I can take anyday you can dress for it and enjoy it .
But damp rain and wet snow is a whole different matter .
Rather be minus 5 and sunny than plus 5 and wet .
Especially since they never put a roof over the stands at THF .
The winds at THF can be bad like effecting a throw or kicked ball in mid air bad even if it was October it wouldn't make a difference it creates a wind tunnel effect .
5C in the day and could be 2C by the evening kick off with strong winds.
So it could feel colder than any stadium east of Vancouver.
Dress in layers and a wool face mask
Must be hard on the players waiting all day for that 6 pm start. And would it not be more comfortable for the fans to return to a 1pm start? Sitting in the sun for a few hours. The finals started at 1pm. I am sure the Grey Cup would sell out with the 1pm start and the tv audience would be there.
