How does weather for Super Bowl LIV compare to past games? Here are the top 5 worst weather moments
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}The forecast for Super Bowl LIV in Miami on Sunday may be the biggest winner of this game, but others have been rather stormy.
When the Kansas City Chiefs face off against the San Francisco 49ers at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Fla., both teams will at least be facing perfect weather conditions. The National Weather Service office in Miami says that the forecast for Sunday shows mostly sunny conditions with highs in the upper 60's, with temperatures dipping into the mid-50's by nightfall.
Fox News Senior Meteorologist Janice Dean said the day is "looking spectacular" for kickoff at 6:30 p.m. ET.

But it hasn't always been that way for the big game. Here are five prior Super Bowls that have seen the worst weather.

A torrential downpour and windstorm took place during the game and at the halftime show as Prince performed. Producer Don Mischer told Rolling Stone he called up Prince hours before the big show to warn him about the weather.

"Can you make it rain harder?" Prince replied.
The late star closed his epic performance that year with the fitting song, "Purple Rain."

--Super Bowl XLV in Arlington, Texas, 2011
When the big game was on its way to North Texas in 2011, fans faced a big mess.

An ice storm, followed by a snowstorm and bitter cold, crippled the Dallas area leading up to the matchup between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Green Bay Packers at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
Hundreds of flights were canceled for fans trying to get to the region, while workers trying to clean up the wintry mess faced their own set of issues. Six workers were injured when hard ice and heavy snow slid off Cowboys Stadium's domed roof the Friday before the game.

--Super Bowl XXXIV in Atlanta, 2000
In 2000, the St. Louis Rams and Tennessee Titans arrived in Atlanta shortly after an ice storm brought traffic in the city to a standstill.

Unseasonably cold temperatures followed, and both teams had to practice outdoors since the Georgia Dome was being used for Super Bowl pregame and halftime rehearsals. The Rams wore winter jackets and thermal underwear in the biting cold.
“It’s ridiculous,” Rams coach Dick Vermeil said at the time. “But there’s nothing you can do about it except try to survive.”

Atlanta Falcons owner Arthur Blank’s $1.5 billion Mercedes-Benz Stadium quickly swayed the NFL owners to give Atlanta another chance. When winter weather threatened a repeat in 2019, the city dodged the worst when no snow or significant black ice came.

The first Super Bowl played in a cold climate may have been fine for the players inside the domed Pontiac Silverdome, but getting to the game was another story.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}The Cincinnati Bengals faced off against the San Francisco 49ers in 72-degree weather indoors, all while the mercury dropped to 13 degrees outside, according to The Oakland Press.
But getting to the game proved to be a task on its own. Freezing rain, combined with wind chills around 21 degrees below zero made travel treacherous.

--Super Bowl VI in New Orleans, 1972
The coldest Super Bowl to be played took place in a place known for actually being warm.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}The Dallas Cowboys and Miami Dolphins faced off in New Orleans in 1972 during unseasonably frigid conditions.
At kickoff, the temperature was a brisk 39 degrees at the old Tulane Stadium, with a wind chill of 24 degrees, according to NOLA.com. New Orleans typically warms into the 60's in late January.
Despite the cold temperatures with two warm-weather teams, there were only three turnovers and none were blamed on the conditions.
