Here’s a few of the best anecdotes from that day:

  • A marching band due to play couldn’t perform; woodwind instruments froze, mouthpieces got stuck to the players’ lips and seven members of the band were transported to hospital with hypothermia.
  • Linebacker Dave Robinson flagged down a random car for a ride after his own wouldn’t start.
  • Referee Norm Schachter blew his whistle to start the game, and it froze to his lips. Instead of a scab forming when he freed it from his mouth, the blood froze to his lip.
  • CBS commentator Frank Gifford famously said, “I’m going to take a bite of my coffee.” It had frozen over during the course of the game.
