I hadn't thought about the day games actually being colder than the night game, but on the other hand, if the game had been in the daylight, it would have been more pleasant for the fans (by whatever small measure).
And I'm not thinking just of Chicago when I mention this. Buffalo played a night game over the weekend, too. A playoff game in New England a few years ago was at night, when the game during the day was either in a dome or in a warmer weather site. Yes, the ticket buyer knows it's going to be cold, but a little consideration for the hardy souls that want to buy a ticket wouldn't be out of line. Let the Bears and Bills have night games in September; give the Vikings or Bucs or 49er the night games in December.
