Popular Post Royale with Cheese Posted January 2, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 2, 2022 Today was my son’s first home Bills game. My son is 6 and we live on n Atlanta. He’s never experienced anything like the weather we had today….especially sitting in it for multiple hours. He was layered both up top and bottom. At the beginning of the 3rd quarter, he starts crying and shivering badly….especially his feet. I take him to the Bills store, all socks sold out. We take off his boots and his feet are red. One staff member gets a blanket and starts rubbing his feet to warm him up. Since all socks are sold out, the other staff member took off her socks and put it on his feet. They cover him with another blanket and rub all over him. EMT arrives and they start looking over him. After the care of the ladies, he felt fine. The EMT’s said he looks fine now and asked us if we wanted to go watch the rest of the game in a heated room. He said no…he wants to go back out there to his seats. What looked like it could have been a disaster turned out to be wonderful. I can’t thank that staff enough. I got all their names and store number. The Front Office will definitely get an email from me. I am so incredibly thankful and made me love Buffalo even more. 29 104 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never attend cold games without hunter heat packs... remember spending more time dreading how cold my feet were than enjoying the game.

I told him flip flops were a BAD IDEA, but nooooobody ever listens to me! 😋 Glad it worked out! People are different from region to region, to some general extent. People in WNY are very good people. I’m not surprised they stepped up, but to some degree I’m proud. 9 minutes ago, HOUSE said: The Car is locked and I have no keys ….but…..I have a brick!

I DM’ed Sal Capaccio about it and probably why the story got picked up. To add to the story….the couple that were sitting next to me gave me their blanket when we returned. Then an older lady that saw us return, went to the store and bought my son a mini football, a Bills Christmas ornament and a beach towel. I was at a loss for words how kind everyone was. 22 hours ago, Beast said: You'll do anything to meet chicks. Probably having his feet rubbed by Canadian ballet dancers as we speak.

Since1981 Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 My girls ages 21, 24 had frozen feet. After 3 hrs on frozen concrete. The dudes ahead overheard and donated extra chem heat foot warmers to them. Funny, even WNY girls froze their toes. The kicker? The donation dudes were from Carolina!!

Steptide Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 When people ask about going to bills games in the cold weather, the first thing I always say is to make sure you have a way to keep your feet warm. I know from experience how it can ruin a game. Great story from the op Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
