The Fenway Park Bowl between SMU and Boston College is underway at Fenway Park in Boston and it’s safe to say that people aren’t enjoying the weather there right now.
Reporter Jim Weber noted that the temperature at Fenway Park is currently 43 degrees. Making it worse is that it’s raining.
You can tell by just watching the game that the players, coaches and all of the staffers are getting soaked.

Fans have been complaining ever since the game started nearly an hour ago:
BOSTON — It is cold. It is rainy. It is foggy.
It’s ACC weather.
Fitting.

I have to say I did not expect the weather to be this bad for the Fenway bowl. Absolute slop fest. Gonna need SMU to stop fucking around

I was really coming to Twitter to say that the weather at the Fenway Bowl looks miserable, but at least it’s not snowing.

When we think about football weather we usually think about cold weather and either snow or biting wind. But sloppy weather on the ground hasn’t really been a thing in ages since most teams have transitioned away from playing on fields that aren’t perfectly manicured grass or turf.
The Fenway Bowl is certainly offering a change of pace, just maybe not a welcome one for the fans right now.
