The Pats* game was a fluke. I'm in row 15 so about as close to the heaters as you can get. Normally it is so warm you feel like a baked potato. But that game I was still chilled. A lot of people ended up watching the second half inside.
Teams have to use the same equipment as the opposing team, so there's no advantage. So if Miami brings up the Desert Blaster 2000 Bench Warmer, and the Bills say they won't use their bench warmer, Miami can't use theirs.
If you're curious how it compares, this is what I'll be paying for my club seats (2 tickets plus club seat license)
Wild card $521
Divisional $603
Championship $723
I'm seeing no tickets available for any game, unless you want just a single ticket.
Are you enrolled in "Pay As We Play" for playoff tickets? Maybe that could be why, the email was mostly about when your CC would be charged for playoff tickets. Or your rep sucks.
