I think they will be ok long as the wind is 20mph or less

 

Winds projected to be light and variable which means around 5-8mph

 

Cannot get less wind than that in Buffalo. Best case scenario

Tell me purist, open-air stadium fans, how does this scheduling a playoff game in bone chilling cold with snow, enhance a fan's experience and help our team's chances. What should be a tremendous home field advantage and a memorable family event, is now a fight to survive conditions that could threaten your health. The national audience will love watching this spectacle from the comfort of their homes, but the hearty souls in attendance will experience cruel and unusual punishment. ⁰

Lol if you don't want to go don't go

 

And it's still an insane advantage for the Buffalo Bills because guess who's not going to be able to throw in the weather?

 

Rag ahm Mac Jones 

 

Jack kemp Jim Kelly and Josh Allen all had an advantage at others didn't.. they can throw the ball in weather that others can't

How about fans in single digits with wind chills sub zero. When looking at new stadiums, a dome is the way to go.

What is everyone bringing/wearing special to this game to try to keep warm. I have never brought a blanket into the stadium but think this may be a first time for it. I am going to have my 12 year old son with me and hoping to keep him warm enough to enjoy the game.

just remember feet, hands and head are most important to keep warm

I'd just about give my left nut to be up there, freezing my butt off in that Stadium for this game.

We played in it in the '60s and seventies and '80s and '90s 

 

Very rarely does it get to Sub-Zero wind chill .. guess what that's what makes us special that we hang in there

 

Again if you don't want to go don't go.. there will be plenty who are willing to go

I've always enjoyed watching these games on tv, this time I get to see if I can deal with it live.  Question: Does 2 pairs of thermals make you warmer or does it make you colder?  I've found that extra socks ended up making me colder as they were cutting my circulation.

It's not just me, how about thinking of great fans that would love to be there but because of age or health problems,wouldn't chance it. 4 or 5 hours in sub zero wind chills and snow, would you want your grandparents or your kids, under 10 shivering in their boots.

Uhhhh, maybe not. Bills playoff tickets down to $56!  They were $190 last week.

Don't be surprised if that happens. Between the cold, Canadians unable to cross the border and Pats fans not travelling.
