Jackets...
Don't say never for jackets. I would agree in most situations that we shouldn't be wearing jackets. But I was sure glad I did for an end of season game up here in Minnesota.
This was a community college game between two middle of the pack teams in
early November, temp was very close to 32 degrees, sleet coming down sideways because of a 25 mile an hour wind from the non-pressbox side of the field. We wore everything we had.
Score was 12-6 at halftime and both coaches wanted a running clock for the second half... they wanted it over. Ended up 12-6... neither QB could pass the ball effectively. Lots of beanbags because of fumbles.
I have worked in snowstorms without jackets... that game was worse and the crew was glad we had that extra layer.
