Temperature at kickoff: 28 degrees
The one that started it all and likely the most iconic soccer match ever played in Colorado saw the US face Costa Rica in a 2014 World Cup Qualifying contest. The game kicked off at 8:00 PM and the snow was already steadily falling at DICK’S Sporting Goods Park.
By the time Clint Dempsey put the US in front in the 16th minute, social media had caught on to the scene in Commerce City and the game was coined the ‘SnowClasico’.
As the snow increased to full blizzard status, Jermaine Jones’ famous SnoFro, the Colorado soccer fans braving the cold and the fluffy white powder on the pitch made for an instant internet sensation.
