I played high school football across the border in North Idaho.  We played a few games on Friday night with sleet coming down.  It was difficult for the receivers, kickoff returns and punt returns to track and catch the ball with sleet hitting your eyes.  The cold was not an issue for the players who were on the field.  The substitutes and kickers were miserable and cold standing on the sidelines.  Difficult for the fans and teams to have as much energy.  Could make for a less raucous crowd with the cold and the early start which will limit tailgating time.
