Even fans who weren't born yet know about the Ice Bowl - the 1967 conference playoff game between Dallas and Green Bay to determine who would go to the Super Bowl. With a game-time temperature of −15°F and no heating system, the field was as smooth as ice and it snowed the whole time.
But Green Bay is not the worst city for football weather - and by worst I mean the best because football in the snow is just plain better. If you are a football fan, you probably know what city is the worst; Buffalo, New York, which Jonathan Erdman of the Weather Channel gives a 'worst weather score' of 85.9, far ahead of Cleveland and Pittsburgh and Green Bay.
Since the Ice Bowl is such a legendary game, why does the NFL insist on having the Super Bowls in warm climates? Well, the fans loved it but players certainly did not - there was even a conspiracy theory that Vince Lombardi intentionally had the heating system off to make things harder on Dallas.
