Proper Gear for Game Sunday?

[tjwbills]

Coming in from out of town for the game Sunday and I am looking for thoughts on what the locals would consider the right layering and gear to stay warm and dry through tailgate and game. Thanks and Go Bills!

Plastic bags around your feet inside your shoes.

Bills underwear, Bills socks, Bills pants, Bills shirts, Bills outer layer, good gloves, and comfortable, water proof boots

[Son of a K-Gun]

I did find it odd that the Bills official email sent this out to fans the other week, a sponsored ad for battery operated clothing, while their weekly "What You Need to Know for Game Day" email always specifically says these items are prohibited.

 

• Battery operated clothing (socks, jackets, etc.) are prohibited.

Wear a coat

[Pete]

breathable layers, multiple.  Then a fleece jacket or vest.  Then waterproof shell(with hood preferably) or ski jacket.  Add breathable layers as needed, breathable warm socks, comfortable water proof boots, hat, neck warmer or scarf.  Worst case scenerio, put on ski pants as well- you are ready for a blizzard Bills game now!

Nothing but paint on your chest. We need the 12th man this week.

I think batteries have been banned since the Bryan Cox days when they were used as projectiles!

Definitely wear a water proof jacket and water proof pants. Nothing's worse that getting soaked when  it's in the mid-30's. Stay dry.

Definitely, prepare for rain and/or wet, sloppy snow. Make sure you have waterproof boots. In this kind of weather, I usually bring one set of footwear for the tailgate, then change socks and boots before I head in. 

 

I like to have one extra layer I can put on in the stadium.

 

Gloves, winter hat are a must.

 

We tailgate with a heated trailer, so we keep all our outer gear inside there and it's toasty when we head into the stadium. You can also keep it in your car and run the heat before you get dressed to head in.

All good points.  I also make sure to have a change of clothes for when I get back to my vehicle after the game as it is no fun wearing wet gear on my 3+ hour drive home...

Don't forget to bring your pitchfork and torches! As a part of this group, you fit right in.

I’m going with a noose around my neck and plastic bag over my head.

We're probably still a week away from paper bags over our heads.

SHHHH!

 

The fine people at Fieldsher Mobile Warming don't need to know that! 

 

I'm sure the Bills were still more than happy to take their money.

Plastic bags on the other hand

Wonder Bread bags. That way your sweaty socks turn blue, red, and yellow.

 

If you are clueless enough to turn them inside out...

[iccrewman112]

Put extra keys on your key ring to shake/jingle them to make crowd noise. Everyone wearing gloves really takes something away from the crowd on defensive 3rd downs

[145B4IDIE]

As long as there’s copper involved, you should be good👍

[Mike in Horseheads]

A niece panty and bra ensemble adds to the mood

[Wacka]

I've memtioned it other years, Do  NOT wear a Tyvek suit. Brother worked at CECOS in Niagara Fallsand got us clean new ones. Looked like snowmen in the stands. The suits are impervious to the rain and snow, but are also impervious to sweat and keep it all inside. We were soaked from all the sweat during  the game. Never did try it again.

Most important thing is the socks. Have to get warm ski/wool socks and maybe double it up depending your cold tolerance also with some nice warm boots. Keep the fingers, toes and ears warm and your good

Yeah I’ve seen the battery operated clothing banned too. So stupid. 

[BuffaloBaumer]

Once I hit 50, I do not mess around with anything in upper 30s and drizzle all day (per Patrick Hammer this morning). Snow boots, rain/snow pants/ and winter jacket with gloves. The weather is gonna suck, no doubt about that...again, per Patrick Hammer. He basically said raining turning to snow and then patches of dryness but mostly drizzle/mist throughout day. Hopefully that crap forecast changes in the next 24 hours

the crowd in general has seemed a lot quieter this season… even when the game is still close (in other words, the first quarter-and-a-half of our 3 home games so far)

Hunter heat packs are a MUST or you will spend the whole game thinking about how much longer you have to be there because your feet are freezing.

 

Heat packs in your boots/gloves are the best thing of all time while sitting outside in the cold.

[Let's Go Buffalo]

Full Michael Myers gear, although I don't know if his boots were waterproof.
