Then we go a couple of weeks later, and it was 40 at game time and the temp dropped from there with gusty winds so it was bitterly cold.

Tonight, 63 at game time but threatening clouds. Sure, not bad- and it's umbrella day so not a bad thing if it rains... Right up until the 1st inning 3 run homer by the Orioles followed by the 1:52 rain delay. By then, it's dropped into the low 50s with a wind in the 20s with gusts up to 50s and a cold mist that falls the rest of the game with the temperature. So you couldn't really keep your umbrella open because it would get destroyed by the wind but it was cold and damp and extremely windy. Just not pleasant at all. By the end of the game, there were maybe 2000 fans in the seats.



SI

Any chance the promotion that day was the first 2,000 fans through the gates received Royals umbrellas?
