I can walk to Gillette stadium in about 2 min from my house, believe me it was cold and raw especially with the rain, I don't know where people come up with 50 degs. It was 47 at it's highest and dipped into the low 40's at the end.
The tests that were done by the independent lab put the test balls in a room with a controlled temp of 50 deg because that is what some claim the temp was.
Another fact they brought up was that unlike the effect air temp has on your tires, footballs outer skin is obviously leather which when wet expands causing a further decrease in pressure.
People just want to run with this even though it's BS.
