dry heat is easy because you can stay mobile without it affecting you...
humidity CAN and WILL make athletes shrivel into tiny piles of shit....
why do you think Houston has TWO enclosed stadiums...you won't see the Texans or the Astros play outdoors (unless it's in October), but you WILL see the Diamondbacks and Cardinals play outside, because it's much easier to play in 108 degrees and 8% humidity than it is 98-99 with 50% humidity.....
p.s.
right now in Houston it's 89 degrees with 79% humidity - it's only 10am...

You do realize that Phx has TWO enclosed stadiums as well, right? People were freaking out because you were being stupid and putting your health in jeopardy.
