What was the last snow game at home?
Posted by jfinsocal

IIRC the snow didn’t start until the 4th quarter of that game.
Posted by QcIlliniFan

Definitely the second half but I thought it was snowing earlier than that, almost when 3rd quarter

My two weather apps now saying 6".
Posted by EffinIllini Edit: And I just saw an alert on my computer that says 7 to 11" of snow for Effingham. Big no to that drive if true.

at least you could stay warm in some of the east side amenity areas. oh wait.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
Yep. Which is why the late-season night games should be closer to larger cities.
Posted by osklister
|
Yeah, the home games after Thanksgiving has always been a dreary affair.
Posted by Warrin'_Illini
|
No. These games will always be poorly attended because it's usually cold and it's during break
Posted by IlliniOllie
|
Totally JMHO: us trying to say a Wrigley game is a "home" game would never be acceptable.
Posted by osklister
|
Well, if they ever build the new Bears stadium, that might be a place to have it*

LOL, I remember the ticket trailer in front of Huff for volleyball games, etc. :-)
