Sierra Foothills Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 I got to thinking about this on hearing that the Cheatriots*** arrived in Miami today... a full 5 days before their game with the Dolphins, in order to acclimate to the weather. Since last Thursday the daytime highs in LA have ranged from 95 to 100 degrees. It will likely be above 90 degrees when the Bills and Rams kickoff at 5:20 PDT. SoFi has a canopy to block UV rays but is considered open air without AC. I'm told the Cardinals-Rams game last October was very hot in the stadium which causes me to wonder if the heat will be a factor. I'm mildly surprised this hasn't yet come up in discussion here or in the media. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBrownBear Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 It will be down in the mid-80s in Inglewood by kickoff. Nothing that will effect the players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoloinOhio Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 It has come up. Don’t think it will be an issue for the game. There was a weather guy on wgr who said based on the stadium design and location it should be fine, but to be prepared for a hot tailgate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg S Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 I know Sofi has open entrance ways to the outside but it is still considered an indoor stadium. Can't they just blast the AC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't they just blast the AC. https://www.foxweather.com/weather-news/sofi-stadium-los-angeles-bills-rams "The stadium that closed out the 2021 football season hosting Super Bowl LVI will once again be in the spotlight Thursday as both blazing heat and the first regular NFL season game get underway. The Los Angeles Rams will host the Buffalo Bills at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, in temperatures that are expected to reach the 90s but cool down before kickoff. Meteorologists say a ridge of high pressure centered over the West is responsible for the excessive heat, which has triggered heat alerts for more than 50 million residents. Similar to the record hit during the Super Bowl, the region is in the grasp of an ongoing heat wave that has pushed many communities above the century mark. The outdoor temperatures could resemble those on the field as the $5 billion does not have air conditioning. Engineers said the specially designed roof and walls are situated in a manner to allow the 3.1 million square feet facility to naturally cool through breezes off the ocean. The openings in the stadium are designed to pull in ocean breezes through their aerodynamic shape and supposedly can tune wind flow. The stadium is located just over four miles away from the Pacific Ocean, where water temperatures are in the lower 70s." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't they just blast the AC. Governor's office is asking everyone to conserve as much power as possible in California to prevent power shut offs. Particular between the hours of 3pm and 9pm. Might be frowned upon to blast A/C in a building that essentially has all it's doors and windows open. The players will be fine. And probably shouldn't be too uncomfortable in the stands. But the tailgates could be a little miserable. Hopefully there is some shade. Or bring a big McDermott hat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zow2 Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 It's early in the season and I don't think the heat will affect the Bills any more than the Rams players. It's uncomfortable for both teams. Fluids and mist fans are about all you can do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Carrier Dome (now JMA Wireless) at SU, named after an air conditioning company, did not have AC for decades, until recently when they did renovations. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
