    Why Kroger Field plays differently

    Kroger Field — renamed from Commonwealth Stadium in 2017 — sits in Lexington, where Kentucky football spans a full seasonal range: warm, humid early games, perfect October football, and cold, sometimes raw November afternoons. The rebuilt bowl is lower and more enclosed than it used to be, which takes the edge off the wind. Rain is spread through the year, so any month can bring a wet game; snow is possible but uncommon in the football window.
