Stank_Nasty Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 I've sat down in the lower bowl for years and been generally fine. I went with a buddy who bought tickets up in the 330's for the skins game and it was noticeably colder and more windy. we had noticeable wind burn afterwards..... I would overdress 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiotAct Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 don’t wear shorts and a tanktop... unless you have a couple additional layers to wear over it, that is! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkeerie Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 The forecast has a High Temp of 41 degrees. So...it will not be toasty. I'd dress in layers that you can peel off if it gets too warm, but I doubt it will. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve never been there this late in the season before. Wear at least one more good layer than you think you'll need. 39 with wind up there will feel like 25. What I do is wear a windbreaker over a T-shirt, and then sweatshirt-JK jersey over all that. It works. I have worn my old Bills parka but only if it's below 20 because that **** is WARM, yo. 2 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ProcessYaDigg Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 it all depends on how the team is doing. if the Bills are taking care of business, then you should be jumping up and down and screaming your a$$ off, thus making you a bit warmer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBillyG Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 Bring cash. Enough $14 beers and you will be nice and toasty. I sit in 331. Gets pretty cold and while others saying dress in layers, my advice is to remember the same goes for what you wear on your feet. A lot of people neglect this and suffer, wearing sneakers and stepping in puddles is a common thing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrbojanglezs Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 (edited) Depends how windy and if its sunny. Forecast is partly sunny high of 39 low of 34. Not extreme cold, but cold, not sure what your used to. Wear under layer like underarmour or "long johns", wool socks/ski socks, with nice pair of boots. Gloves, Hat, hoodie and jacket and you should be good. Edited November 21, 2019 by Mrbojanglezs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dwight in philly Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 (edited) As another "old timer" story.. cold was never an issue.. before all the BS about frisking .. one of the most memorable days of my days as a bills fan.. a sunny cold sunday .. but snow previously.. denver.. smuggled in a 12 of mich light old fashioned bottles .. stuck them in the snow buddies just sipped away as the stock increased and sat was wonderful.. about 45 to 50 thousand there.. but those WERE the days Edited November 21, 2019 by dwight in philly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frostbitmic Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 (edited) It's going to be 41 ... That's a heat wave this time of year... I'd just suggest a hoodie and bringing enough anti-freeze.

machine gun kelly Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 Right now it is supposed to be 39 degrees and cloudy, so I just went to the Redskins game and it was 38, but the winds were 20-25 mph. I still can manage the cold even though living in FL, but had to buy a Bills winter hat and Bills gloves. I was fine after that. I should have brought my gloves and hat, and for that matter a scarf. Two layers of thick Sox helped with the sneaks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davefan66 Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 (edited) I sit in section 333, about halfway up. 41 degrees won’t be so bad, unless it’s windy. Gets worse when in the 30’s and below. Layers and warm feet. Bring something to sit on like a blanket. Can wrap up if too cold. Only thing worse than cold feet is a cold Condition on yourself and get to the tailgate by 9 am! Won’t be felling a thing then!

Doc Brown Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 (edited) As long as it doesn't rain you should be fine. I've had seasons since '97 and the most miserable I've ever been was that Giants game in '07 when it was around 34 degrees and raining. As I get older I long for a dome.
