Temperatures on DKR field surpass 100 degrees for Texas vs Ohio State football, per ESPN
Before things get heated between the Texas Longhorns and Ohio State Buckeyes, the temperatures at Royal-Memorial Stadium were plenty hot, per ESPN.
On September 12, 2026, temperatures at Darrell K Royal–Texas Memorial Stadium in Austin soared above 100 degrees for the Texas Longhorns football game against Ohio State, according to ESPN reporter Holly Rowe. Using a thermometer, Rowe measured the field temperature at 163.6 degrees about two hours before kickoff, and later 107.4 and 113.5 degrees in shadier areas.
This heat was reminiscent of a previous Texas game last weekend, where temperatures reached nearly 100 degrees and led to paramedics rushing out four players in the second quarter. Fans were seen huddled in the stadium, seeking refuge from the sun and temperatures as high as 163.6 degrees.
