The east siders can pack 10,000 into space meant for 5,000.

This game had a decent crowd in 2004 on Labor Day weekend (Nevada sure didn't help provide anybody in attendance . . . . .)

That was, by far, the hottest game I have ever attended.

I forget too, that 2003 against Miami was rough. Lots of hot games and some have been blocked from memory.

I can handle hot but I remember a game against Fresno State that was frigid. I also went to an IBowl with Mich. State and LSU where I was so cold I didn't even notice the game.

The Miss Valley State game in...2001? or whenever. Was in late August. We won 63-10. Temps topped 100F.

Interesting. I don't even recall the heat. That drumming was cool enough.:D

I do remember leaving that game with a healthy respect for one Jerry Rice, however.

The heat was in 2000. The Jerry Rice game was in 1984. ;)

Nope, I was there, but after baking in the sun all afternoon for a midday kickoff on Labor Day, that Nevada game is burned into my memory.

Besides winning and watching Moats run for a few hundred yards, the best part of that game was getting to see my Dad, who has since passed away, holding my 7 month old daughter in her Tech cheerleader outfit make it onto ESPN. I have a video of the game and gave worn it out watching that clip.

Time flies ....

Heat?-- Manhattan Kansas in 2000. It was 126 degrees in the stadium. This was at 6:00 pm game time. The artificial turf field must have been hellish. I must admit I wimped out on the Labor Day game versus Nevada although I had season tickets. It was on TV and I knew it was going to sizzle.

Yes but final score was very cool!! Too bad Tech could not hold on to Tim Rose as Def Coord.
