For anyone planning on coming down, it was 102 at 3:30 today and the forecast looks about the same for the 24th. Unless we get lucky with a morning game, expect it to be hot. Even a 7:30 start would still be in the mid-90’s since it will just be after sundown.
I went to MNF down in Sun Devil Stadium several years ago at about the same time of the year. It was hot. It was also Steve Young’s last NFL game. You can look it up.
I can’t imagine anyone picking that game for 1pm. The league usually goes out of its way to play the desert games before November at night which is why I am guessing it will end up in the 7:30 pt slot. The wildcard would be if it was the game of the week and got the 4:30 slot on the unpronounceable four letter network.
I also haven’t seen anywhere that the game time has been set.
That’s just a default time…..It hasn’t been announced yet.
I was born & raised in Phoenix & continue to make my home down here, so the weather is a complete non-factor for me…..Although the field temperature will be hot regardless of kickoff time.
I have tickets for that game. Hopefully it’s after 7 pm with this heat. With any luck it’ll break a little and be in the 80/90’s not bad with no humidity.
I’ve been down here since 2012. September is actually very nice but the low is still going to be in the 70’s and it really doesn’t start cooling off until around 10.
