FYI for those tailgating tomorrow


Einstein

Recommended Posts

No tents, flags, or fires are allowed.

 

I imagine this would make tailgating in 11 degree weather even worse, so figured you should be aware.

 

 

 

And if you get too cold, the Bears will have a warning center available at Gate 31 Plaza. Important! Could save a toe!

Trying to watch the game in Buffalo/Western NY is going to be tough.  Spectrum Cable has been down all day and now they say Saturday broadcasts are doubtful.  How to watch the damn game?


Get an antenna from Walmart?  Are you within broadcast range for channel 4?

If he is in Erie County there is a driving ban and a blizzard in the middle of dropping 4-5 feet of snow.

Pro tip from the frigid Carolinas

UA heat gear thin 

UA base layer 4.0

Smart wool

Double lined thermals

Over sized single ply thermals

Water proof pants/Carhartt bib freshly waxed & oiled

 

On top, no hoody and top layer under coat a turtle neck. Wear a hooded coat with smart wool hat baklava and a knit hat over it.

 

Socks people ***** up and put too many on  which cuts off blood flow. Wood socks, cotton blend for 2nd layer in oversized muck boots.

 

Gloves with mittens over them. 

 

You won't get cold and that set up costs about $400-500

I made that sock mistake in the bills pats playoff game last year lol never again.  All the other layering stuff ain’t bad but footwear gets tricky because that concrete gets soooo cold

During the blizzard of 77, we dragged a sled 1/2 mile to the store to get a case of Genny Cream Ale pounders every day. This generation is soft. 
 

Now get off my lawn and stop throwing snowballs at my house.

Genny Screamers.

 

Dad always had a keg of Genny Cream Ale  in the basement fridge.  Can't get it here in Texas, that I know of.

Does Spectrum have streaming with cable service?

 

Like others said, maybe try a free trial of a streaming service? Hopefully not much lag on cell.

 

I have DTV and currently working, stunned my dish isn’t snow covered. If not, OTA antenna is working.

If this game was at home, I surely would be staying home in these temps. Obviously, with the snow and wind today wouldn’t be going anyways.

 

And no propane heaters? That sux.
