Many parents had to get back into their cars to turn the AC on. We were pouring water all over ourselves... looks less ridiculous than passing out.

Close second for killer heat would be Atlanta. Also July bball tournie. We had kids passing out in the dugout... kids from the south.

And I lived in south FL for 4 years so I understand heat index.
Right, every area you just mentioned is notorious for that type of weather and thus, people are captive to their AC all day. In other parts of the country, the north east specifically, those days are variable and few in duration. If the former is what some refer to as quality of life, enjoy it.
