Rate Bowl AZ Weather

[Yah-E]

8 days out, forecast to RAIN on Thursday and Friday next week (Game Day)! WTF?! Everyday sunshine’s and is dry, EXCEPT for the weekend that we’ll be there!? Most likely will change and dry up but very annoying.

Also it’s my understanding that Chase Field’s roof was repaired recently to be able to open or close in inclement weather. At least we’ll be dry inside for the game. If having rain in AZ while we’re there isn’t irritating enough, imagine adding getting rained on during the game?

Hopefully they don't open the roof again while it's raining

We’ve had an incredible December weather so far, most days in the high 70’s and bright blue skies, a shame if that changes when MN fans get to town.

Go Gophers!!

Last time they opened it up for the rain to get the field wet and then closed the roof.

Rain in AZ is a good thing. After the initial burst everything dries up pronto.

And the stadium is covered.

And the stadium is covered.

That's what we all thought last time

OMG you got touched by rain for longer than 5 minutes? Did you melt? Did it hurt badly?

The field was an absolute disaster. I think that's the main concern.

Of course some rain is no biggy but most of us are coming from wintery climate so LOTS of AZ sun is highly desired.

Seems like Friday is drying up but not as sunny.

Arizona weather forecasters are notoriously wrong. They are so used to it being hot and sunny they get real excited when they see clouds on the horizon.

Yeah, that turned the field to dangerous slop the last time we were in the Rate bowl.

I wouldn’t think the top meteorologists flock to Arizona TV stations.

Did it rain at the 2021 bowl game?
