A real-world instance of Moore’s Paradox (“It’s raining, but I don’t believe it is”) occurs several times annually at Autzen Stadium in Eugene, Oregon —
Since 1990, Don Essig, the stadium’s PA announcer since 1968, has declared that “It never rains at Autzen Stadium” before each home game as the crowd chants along in unison. He often prefaces it with the local weather forecast, which quite often includes some chance of showers, but reminds fans that “we know the real forecast...” or “let’s tell our friends from (visiting team name) the real forecast...” If rain is actually falling before the game, Essig will often dismiss it as “a light drizzle”, or “liquid sunshine” but not actual rain by Oregon standards.[60]
