When the weather starts to get cold, it’s the sign from Mother Nature that the time for midweek MACtion is nigh.

Every fan in attendance can never have their dedication to their respective sub-.500 teams questioned for braving the harsh elements—but one (inanimate) fan in particular stole the show on this night.
