What percentage is the stadium filled?
Had a big crowd with just a couple of corners in uppers across from UK with empty seats. We left at start of 4th quarter with game in hand as we couldn't take the heat and sun any more. It was 94 but probably much hotter in there with all the concrete and metal. We were on the sun side of stadium too. Good crowd for being so hot today.

I'm glad my seats are on the south side of the stadium (223). By the start of the second half my seats were starting to get into the shade. I felt sorry for the folks on the other side of the stadium.

It was cooking on the other side. Never been that uncomfortable at a game before but stuck it out for 3 quarters.
We were in 208 but just went down and stood in the breezeway. It was miserable in our seats.

Did the same. It was way cooler down there but if you have neuropathy, it was just deciding between 2 bad options. My feet have spent about 2 hours in the foot massager since I've been home.

Same. Temperature read mid 80s but it had to be 10 degrees worse. The few seconds of standing only for a defensive third down had the bleacher so hot it almost would scorch your a$$. Was crazy.

Mine are in sec 23 row 38, about an hour in the heat & we were in the shade. It's crazy how as the sun starts going down on our side of the stadium, every 20 minutes or so another row is in the shade.

Section 10. We had to cut out 1/2 way through the 2nd. My son was miserable. This Saturday, he will just have to tough it out! Not missing that upset!

I had season tickets years ago when tv didn’t rule times for all games. Even then I bitched that in September the kickoffs were 12 or 1 while November games which on occasion could be quite cold would go at 7:30 or 8. Our tickets were on the sunny side which could have been helpful with a November day game

Never had gout thankfully but as a fellow neuropathy sufferer I can attest that yes it does suck.
2 years ago at this time I had already spent 2 months going between the hospital and rehab centers mainly due to gout. I had quad bypass surgery and after that, the heart was great but it messed me up in a couple of other ways. We'll just leave the wound infection that they had to go back in and debreed or the bleeding ulcer on my colon (wasn't that just a great day). But my knees just blew up 2 days after surgery with gout (which I'm guessing was just hiding the neuropathy) and forget walk. I was crying if you pulled the blanket over my toes. Kind of causing my own problems but I basically quit eating because I couldn't close my hands enough to use utensils. Gout sucks.
