71 degrees according to NFL.com's preview.. I cannot believe it's gonna be that warm in Denver in November. That's gotta be a record...or close to. IMO that will be a major benefit to us. Not that I'm conceiting anything. Should be a great game.
great news!!!! I was worried it would be our first cold game of the season..... great stuff!!! LEts go phins!!! EDIT- the thin air will still be a issue breathing-wise
They make a huge deal out of the "Mile-High" city. Truth is it's not like its 10,000 feet or something. Nothing a little breath out of an oxygen mask cant immediately remmedy The weather has been EXTREMELY warm here still, was low 90's all week, however, watching outside and the weather channel, this could all change by Sunday..
They use that "Mile High" phrase to mess with opponent's heads. Right outside the opposing locker room there is a sign reminding them they are at 5,280 feet. You do see the big guys gasping for air and sucking on the oxygen tanks a lot. But the weather is going to be sweet. We have been setting records this week in Cedar City and we are at 5,800 feet here. Hit 77 on Tuesday and 80 on Wednesday. I was shoveling snow this week last year.
In stark contrast, Albuquerque (Often thought of being in the Desert) is 1,000 feet higher than Denver 5,200 feet is a mind-set more than anything. As you stated, it really ISNT that high...of course just looking to the east into Rocky Mountain National Park and Estes Park can be intimidating...
71.. denver... november... something doesnt make sense there. wow. also, this is news to me, i thought we were home this week
I'm going to be dropping in altitude to get to the game... I also may just have to work on my tan while there... Quick! There's still time to make it down!
Temperatures are often over 70 degrees in Denver in November...it was 80 degrees for the high on Nov. 8, 2000......usually averge highs around the mid to low 50's for this time of year.
