Arrowhead Stadium is going to be freezing on Saturday night.
The Kansas City Chiefs will host the Miami Dolphins in their wild-card matchup on Saturday night in what could be one of the coldest games in NFL history.
The high on Saturday in Kansas City is expected to be only 11 degrees during the day. It’s expected to be about 0 degrees by the time the game kicks off at 7 p.m. CT, and it’s expected to dip well into the negative temperatures once the sun sets. The posted low as of Tuesday night is forecasted at -5 degrees on Saturday night, and the high for Sunday is set for -1.
With winds expected anywhere from 10 to 15 miles per hour on Saturday night, it’ll likely feel much colder.
There are many famous sub-zero temperature games throughout NFL history. “The Ice Bowl” comes to mind first, when the Dallas Cowboys and Green Bay Packers squared off in the NFL Championship game in 1967 with a listed temperature of -13 degrees and a wind chill pushing -50, per the NFL.
More recently, the wild-card game between the Seattle Seahawks and Minnesota Vikings in 2016 had a windchill of about -25 degrees. That game was played outside at the University of Minnesota while the Vikings were building U.S. Bank Stadium.
According to the Kansas City Star, the coldest game at Arrowhead Stadium occurred in 1983, when it was 0.5 degrees at kickoff. The Chiefs’ coldest home playoff game was 11 degrees, so Saturday’s matchup should safely break that record.
That’s going to be quite the adjustment for the Dolphins, too. The forecasted low for the Miami area on Saturday night is 64 degrees — though to be fair, that’s chilly for South Florida.
Had the Dolphins beaten the Buffalo Bills on Sunday night, they’d be hosting a playoff game. Instead, they’ll have to deal with Winter Storm Finn. That’s quite the consolation prize.

Daniel Weinman won the World Series of Poker's main event world championship on Monday in Las Vegas, earning $12.1 million along the way. Playing in the tournament for a 16th year, Weinman was tops in a deep pool of 10,043 players vying for $93.39 million. His victory came after just 164 hands at the final table. "I was honestly on the fence about even coming back and playing this tournament," the 35-year-old Atlanta native told reporters afterward. Weinman's final table featured Jan-Peter Jachtmann, who landed in fourth place and took home $3 million, as well as Toby Lewis, who finished seventh and secured $1.42 million. According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the main event's entry pool far outpaced the previous record of 8,773 set in 2006. "I've always kind of felt that poker was kind of going in a dying direction, but to see the numbers at the World Series this year has been incredible," Weinman said. "And to win this main event, it doesn't feel real. I mean, [there's] so much luck in a poker tournament. I thought I played very well." Steven Jones finished second, securing $6.5 million. And Adam Walton settled for third and a $4 million prize.
