Round one vs Rabbits was 34c with 87 humidity still at 9pm with a feel temp of 38c. Mix that with the crowds and firework smoke.
Round three vs Cowboys was 33c with similar humidity and just as bad. There were seemingly NO children at this game.
Extreme heat is just as bad as extreme cold. If the extreme heat is deemed not to have an effect on the Broncos crowd because we in Brisbane are used to the putrid summers, then Canberra cant use the extreme cold as an excuse. Theres pretty much a 50/50 swing of peoples weather preferences.
30 degrees isn't extreme heat.
Again why are there more outdoor events during summer ?
Humans prefer the warmth to the cold. It's literally mind boggling anyone could argue differently.
