I'm curious, has there ever been a professional football game canceled due to bad weather?

Question

Like blizzards, floods, tornadoes, etc? My friend says no, but I'm sure there had to have been!

Answer 1

Games would be called and have been due to inclement weather that is considered a threat to human life.  As far as I know they are always made up at a later date.  Any threat of Lightning, Tornado's and Hail which can be the size of Golf balls and Baseballs and sometimes even larger are life threatening.  I personally have never heard of a game being canceled and not being made up later.      

Answer 2

Well in 05 the Saints didnt play any home games at the superdome - and ended up playing their first "home" game against the giants at Giants stadium.

Green Bay vs. KC on Aug 4, 2003:

Game cancelled at 5:49 of 3rd quarter due to inclement weather conditions.

also these games The last time a game was canceled was September 13, 2001. (in remembrance for 9/11)

The first game of the Houston Astrodome, remember with the Oilers, was canceled. It is kinda funny because they said with the dome they would never need to cancel a game again. Well then the city got flooded and no one could get to the Stadium, including the teams.

hope that answers your question

Answer 3

Well, no game has been CANCELLED, but quite a few have been postponed, take for example LSUs upcoming game.

Answer 4

The only thing that would stop a football game in progress is lightening. As far as tornadoes and floods, possibly, but the game would get made up right away. But, yeah, the only thing that would halt a game is lightening.

Answer 5

No regular or postseason NFL game has ever been canceled or postponed. It's happened a few times in the preseason but every other game has been finished.
