Question for those who have been on the ACS field recently

[Limp Lizard]

With the more enclosed structure of ACS since 2012, how much wind actually makes it to the field? It used to be a wind tunnel through 2010. Should be even more enclosed this year.

My seats are on the south side this year. Nice breeze at times but nothing that I think would alter passes/kicks, IMO..

Lower bowl or club seats? Whichever you are still above field level. But still at the level of some passes and certainly field goals.

Once referred to as "Dutch's Wind Tunnel"

With beer sales now through out the stadium, there is passing wind on all levels.

The windiest stadium I have sat in is the Cotton Bowl.. Just a little breeze becomes a gale on the stadium field. I have watched games where there was a distinct advantage for the team with the wind.

And thus it is miserable when it is cold. I have only been in it for two cold games, but damn! And by cold I only mean in the upper 40's. I can't imagine games when it was really cold.

I used to sit in the lower level of the north endzone. There was hardly ever in breeze down there.

What about the noise level?

Used to go to the RRR back when TCU was barely watchable, just to see some decent quality ballers. Bosworth, Ed Simmons, Aikman, etc. Usually was an 11 am game. Freeze your ass off for the first part of the game until the sun cleared the grandstand, then go home with a sunburn and heat stroke from being stuck in the sun and the drying wind. Good times.

I think you are exaggerating.

No. One game I went to all the scoring with with the wind, in early December. The wind played a big part in the '98 game, too. But that was about 30 years after the December game.

Cowboys-Lions playoff game about 1970-71....In the 30s....Miserable...but not as miserable as 2015 Baylor game with the rain added in...BTW, Cowboys won, 5-0....

I sat out that game when I saw the forecast; sold my tickets and watched at home. My health is not good enough for that. It sounds miserable. Even more so for the players who were soaked to the bone. Wet and cold is awful.
