It was hot, but not unbearable. Did the new construction’s materials do something to create this awful heating people are pointing out that exists today?
When I read the "heat" part of this thread, I was remembering the exact game. That UCLA game was brutal. I consider myself reasonably hardy and was well-hydrated for that game, but I still spent about 1/4 of my time on the concourse.
Interesting, the hottest game I remember attending was vs UCLA in 1987. That was compounded by losing 49-0 (and by halftime it was already some gosh-awful 42-0 or something). People were dropping left and right.
It's one of only two games I remember leaving early, but in my defense I was puking.
And at this very moment, Pac-12 Networks is replaying the 1993 game vs UCLA, with sideline reports about how the players are struggling with the heat.
What is it about UCLA at Stanford?
