How hot is Darrell K Royal Stadium at kickoff?

Early-season afternoon games commonly sit in the low-to-mid 90s°F with moderate humidity. The enclosed bowl holds radiated heat, so field level feels hotter than the Austin forecast.

Is wind a factor in Austin?

Less than at open plains venues. The tall decks block much of the breeze, so wind rarely reaches field level with force except during a passing storm.

Does Darrell K Royal Stadium have a roof?

No. It is open air with tall enclosing stands, which shelter the field from wind while trapping heat.
