Weather is considered to be part of the football game. That’s why the old [Dallas Cowboys stadium](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texas_Stadium) had a roof over the crowd, but the players played under open sky.

The [Ice Bowl](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oe0XChUkWgU) and the [Fog Bowl](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q6b3sneCxbM) are considered all time classic games because of the weather.
