But, this doesn't seem excessive. Temps will hover in the low 30s for the next several hours. That said, in one game last year, I do recall it being too cold/snowy and I think it should have been rescheduled.

Obviously, this is weather I am accustomed to. If the teams who are not accustomed to this want to object, then I'd imagine they would/could force NFL changes. But, yeah, it does mean money to all involved.
