REPLY: According to an NFL friend, it's the crew's choice as to what to wear. But depending on how dogmatic the crew chief is, it might just become the R's choice.
Two bad games I can recall: One opening game began with the temp around 75F. Right after the game started, it began to pour--I mean REALLY pour. So much so that I could barely see my partner across the field. Then the temperature began to drop so that by game's end, it was down to around 45F. And there we are soaking wet in short sleeves and (embarrassed to admit it) shorts! Other game was night before Thanksgiving. Temperature was 8F, slight breeze. But that one was made even less bearable by two 0-8 teams who couldn't get out of their own ways.
