Everyone has their own tolerance level as far as lousy weather. At the time Notre Dame’s Blue-Gold Game began, temperatures struggled to break 40 degrees. Rain also appeared at times, sometimes pouring. For On3 managing editor Riley Gates, this was more than anyone should be able to take, and he called out the Irish fans who chose to sit through it at Notre Dame Stadium:
I am currently watching Notre Dame fans sit in 40-degree weather and pouring rain to watch a spring game. It's absurdly dumb.
God bless college football.

Look, I’m not going to pretend that I would want to be outside and freezing at a time of year when it’s supposed to be warming up. But if fans want to tolerate the elements in order to watch their favorite college football team, I’m not going to judge. They say that where there’s a will, there’s a way. If anything, it shows many Irish fans will do whatever it takes to see their team.
Sure, you might need to thaw out at the end of the day, but if it’s all worth it, that’s all that matters.
