How the Weather Has Impacted the Super Bowl in the Past

As the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots get set for Super Bowl LX at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, the early read on the weather looks pretty friendly by football standards, with mild Bay Area temperatures and only a late-day rain risk.

Still, the Super Bowl’s weather history has some wild chapters. From biting cold to wind gusts and a famous rain-soaked showdown, here are the biggest extremes.

What Was the Coldest Super Bowl?

The coldest Super Bowl in history through 2023 was the game in 2018 when the Philadelphia Eagles played the New England Patriots. Temperatures in Minneapolis struggled to reach 11 degrees at game time after the city set a record low of 9 degrees shortly after midnight.

While tailgating fans may have been shivering, the cold temperatures did not affect the game because U.S. Bank Stadium is an indoor facility. The New York Patriots won the game 13 to 3.
