Cowboys vs 49ers: Weather Outlook
Location: Levi’s Stadium, Santa Clara, California
Stadium Type: Open stadium, natural grass
Predicted Forecast: High of 61, low of 39, partly sunny, winds up to 13-14mph, 2% chance of precipitation
The narrative of the Cowboys not being able to play on grass, as ridiculous of a story as it was in the first place, has been put to rest. They head to play on the real stuff again this weekend in San Fran. This weather should be ideal for football and is a second week that the Cowboys avoid rain, snow, wet, and cold.
One thing to keep an eye on is how the grass may have played into Brett Maher’s kicking rollercoaster. Dallas reporter Britt Bowen discussed the surface with punter Bryan Anger and believes he should be just fine on the 49ers’ grass.
#Cowboys punter Bryan Anger stated today that Tampa’s field is one of the worst to play on and kicking on grass is a little different than kicking on turf. He said he’s not worried about Brett Maher cus he has a good mental game and said “he’ll be fine.”

With kickoff at 6:30 PM ET, this gets going mid-afternoon at 3:30 PM PT and will be sunny, in the 50s, and minimal wind. This is going to be a fantastic game of historic franchises and the sunlight should only add to an already pleasing matchup.
