With LSU staring down games at home in Baton Rouge, one in Orlando, one in Starkville, Miss., and one in Oxford, Miss., this September, the Tigers have found a novel way to beat the heat.
LSU will wear air-conditioned helmets for all practices and games in 2023, created by a Louisiana-based company called Tigeraire. The helmets will reportedly have a five-hour life span before needing to be charged, and last up to four years, according to sports business expert Joe Pompliano.

In the arms race that is college football, other teams are bound to follow suit and adopt this potentially game-changing equipment. Until then, LSU might just have a slight edge on its foes.

1. I wonder if any team will contest it on grounds of equal treatment . . .

if there are cooling sprays on the sidelines during hot days, and the system fails on one side, the other team is required to turn off their coolant. Don't know how these novel helmets will fit into that kind of scenario but I'm sure opposing coaches are already weighing their options.

2. Interesting

I guess this is like when the helmets commo system fit one team goes down the other has to turn theirs off or not use it.

BTW - the Miami Dolphins first few home games give them a big advantage. Visiting teams sit on the side in the sun all game while the Dolphins side is in the shade. There’s I think a 10 degree difference.
