GREEN BAY, Wis. – For the Green Bay Packers, last year’s NFC Championship Game was a dream scenario. With a trip to the Super Bowl on the line, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers had to travel from Florida to the Frozen Tundra of Green Bay.
There was only one problem. With a kickoff temperature of 29, the tundra was barely frozen. The Buccaneers upset the Packers and won the Super Bowl in their toasty hometown.
It could be a different story when the Packers host a divisional playoff game next weekend.
According to meteorologist Luke Sampe of Green Bay television station WFRV, the temperature next Saturday afternoon will be in the midteens, with wind chills in the single digits.
