Kickoff temperatures come from the nflverse games file. For 119 outdoor games the file has no temperature, most of them September and October games in 2022 and 2023; those come from airport weather records (NOAA) or, for 10 of them, the Pro Football Reference box score, and they are marked. Games at dome and retractable-roof stadiums are grouped by building, whatever the roof position. Another 18 outdoor games since 1999 still have no temperature; they are listed separately and not counted in any band.
