I think rain/snow does reduce the crowd size and thus crowd noise, etc. There are some exceptions to that, such as Green Bay where the Packers’ fans take a special pride in being prepared for and showing up in cold weather (helps that many people there have a bunch of cold-weather hunting gear and hip flasks full of brandy). Coloradans, like Utahns, probably are well prepared for cold in the same way due to the winter recreation in those places (plus hunting of course). Given the Buffs are 5-5 with a 5-game losing streak may put a damper on people’s desire to get out and cheer in cold, wet conditions. They might be more interested in going skiing – Arapahoe Basin is already open for those with a spare set of rock skis.
StubHub currently has tons of seats being put up for sale at $30 or less if that gives you an indication of the expected turnout for this game. You can sit at the 50 yard line for about $60.
When coaches and players talk about weather they say they can play in anything, but the wind affecting the passing game is the one thing they might game plan for. In this case, I don’t see a lot of wind.
