I think it will drop down once the day gets closer and the weather holds up in terms of 0 to 5 degrees range.

Plus, stubhub and ticketmaster is way overpriced. Not worth it right now.

You'll just make a poopcicle

They're saying it might be the coldest game at Arrowhead EVER?

Glad I used to live there and have a decent amount of cold gear still. I think. SHit Believe I may have donated the boots. nuthooks

Those toes are pretty damned important. Better get something.

I was at both of the coldest games ever last year. If the forcast holds I think we're going to win. Tyreek will get loose for a deep td, plus a return td. Michel will get a ton of yards and a couple of fumbles. Justin Houston gets a strip sack return for a TD. Kelce plays defense and gets a pick on the backup qb's hail Mary to win the game.

I have legit cold weather gear, I spend a lot of time in Canada. I have skied for 3 days when the daytime high was 0 and been fine. The main things are to wear outer layers that wind can't penetrate, and to keep all your skin covered. If you do that, you'll be ok. Also, don't cheap out on the boots.

You don't want to over dress though, because if you sweat under all of that, eventually you'll be freezing.

Nah.

Antifreeze. Drink lots and lots of antifreeze.

Highly possible of 7+ inches out of this storm.

Fortunately thats Friday night.

I was at the Chiefs/Titans game (2016 IIRC)

We had an ice storm the night before, and the temp was -4 at kickoff.

So cold nobody wanted to go. I had ST, but 3rd party tix were being sold for $2. Stadium was so empty they let everyone migrate to the lower level front rows.

I was bundled up like I was living in Antarctica.

I drank a lot of Crown Royal last wkn tailgating. Kept my ass warm. Plan on doing it again for sure.

That game is the reason I know I'll be fine at this game. Same clothes with a better sock liner.

Yeah, that's kinda my thinking too. I do worry that just being at night might make it a little colder (iirc the Titans game was actually a pretty sunny day), but I think that's probably balanced by the fact that we'll all have a lot more adrenaline for the AFCCG against the Patriots.

The hardest thing about weather like this is going to the damn bathroom.

I’ve sat in that stadium and watched them lose while a freezing rain came down on us. We were covered in ice. So it’s go to be in the low digits. Suck it up and let that Arrowhead crowd make a difference, like they did last week.

<br />
<br />
Yup. Peel off gloves, peel off undergloves, dig around for your dong, try not to dribble on your layers and layers of clothes, then do it all again in reverse. God help you if you have diarrhea.

At that temp, i'm not too worried about dribble. Just let it slush where it's gonna slush.

This thought had actually crossed my mind. LOL

Yeah. Try being a female.

Catheter 😉

Hey, at least the bathrooms are warm.

You'd get a rush of warmth.

For a little bit. Then you might freeze to death.

Speaking of bathrooms, anyone done the 5 gallon bucket half filled with kitty litter trick?

Put one of those in a teepee/small tent and it's your own personal portajohn.

I've thought about that. It wouldn't be worth it.

Bring a piece of cardboard to stand on.

Cowturd hands this game to NE now due to the cold.

Can we get the thread title updated. Need to remove a "1".

LOL

Heh. I was just think about how Stink described his days in the cold with the Redskins and Donks. ;)

He just doesn't like Mahomes because Mahomes is too good too early in his career and Mahomes is at home for this game. And Mahomes has not had his first 'meltdown game' yet. I've always said, sports talk show guys are just extremely frustrated "wanna be athletes that never were" that are attention whores who can only compete with their words that more often than not are still way off the mark.:rolleyes:

It's hardly obvious who the weather helps. You can make arguments both ways. I'd guess both sides would prefer more seasonable weather.

Everybody said last week's weather heavily favored the Colts too. Oh well.

I do know this:

We all know what happens to the volume of air as the temperature falls below freezing. At least Brady won't have to purposefully tamper with balls this weekend, Mother Nature doing all the work for him.

I expect short punts, returnable kickoffs, dropped passes, and several fumbles by both teams.

The pressure will go down but the ball will be rock hard, and good luck to Brady throwing through the heaviest air he's every played in.

We’re undecided about going. Coming up from central OK. The Saturday snow worries me about driving five hours in it. We can handle the Sunday cold.

Yeah, I'm far more concerned with the drive than the cold. Doesn't look like there's any way for me to avoid the snow coming down from the Chicago area, and as a result, the drive time will probably be through the roof. I can generally get to Kansas City in about seven hours - I figure it'll probably be 10+ this time. :grr:

The game is over. Cowherd says the cold weather gives the Pats the win. No need to play the game. Only The Brady's can win when it's cold.

I've never taken cardboard in to stand on before, but I just might this time. I should put the Patriots logo on it, so that way I'm stomping around on it the entire game. :)

The field is heated, footing shouldn't be a problem... I like our chances

We're driving down on Sunday since we only have about 3 hours to drive. The roads should be clear by then, the snow is supposed to stop about noon on Saturday.

Game doesn't start until 5:30...you have plenty of time to drive on Sunday.

But everyone will be wearing ski masks and wool and have their face covered and they will be huddling instead of standing and cheering so The Brady's win!

I laughed when I heard him say that a well... Arrowhead will be amped...

Can anyone explain to me why the NYFL decided to have the indoor NFC game early and the outdoor AFC game late? Do they ever think of the fans?

I think it was decided upon well before they knew which teams would play.

Brady passing the torch to Mahomes deserves to take place under the lights.

We might have to. Leave at 8 and we’d get there around 1. Probably take two hours just to get into the stadium.

I really hope Mahomes considers wearing gloves - like Brady does. I doubt Patrick has ever even experienced negative temperatures let alone played in them. You may be able to sit next to the heaters on the sidelines but once you go on a long drive your hands would be about numb by the time you get to the goalline. I can't even imagine playing football in those temperatures - it's got to be miserable.

I was under the impression that this thing could easily shift and not park on KC by game time.

Lubbock gets cold AF man, wind chill there is crazy

Right now, it doesn't look that way. There's a pretty significant system coming through on Friday and Saturday and the high pressure behind that looks to be covering like all of Canada by Thursday.

Is the heated field system robust enough to keep up with that much cold? Anybody heard?

They say it keeps the field at minimum just above freezing.

I wonder if that will cause the field to steam. Could be neat.

Anyway there won't be any frozen tundra which is huge. Being cold is one thing, running on an ice block is another.

Hey Pugs, I asked earlier but nobody noticed. The thread title needs changed.

The expected high is now NINE, not 19.

You ever try screaming in 5 degree weather? I don't think people's throats are going to last that long.

Yea, I know they claim that. I'm just wondering how cold of weather it was designed for.

I imagine they considered it getting down to 9 which happens in KC at least once every year.

Last Saturday morning after the snow storm had come through and temps dropped overnight, they said the field temp was 80 degrees and they actually turned the system down so it wasn't so hot.

Turn that sauna UP bro

*pops champagne*

*takes off pants*

ROFL

According to this article after the Titans game in 2016, the answer is "yes".

https://www.kansascity.com/sports/nf...121635667.html

It's much warmer than freezing. They said on the broadcast Saturday it was designed to heat to 40 degrees but that article I just posted above says the field was almost 60 during the Titans game.

Lulz

Since the heat rises it's going to make the field the warmest place in the stadium. They should crank that sucker until Patrick's hands are warm.

They moved the playoff game 2 years ago for weather. Probably won’t move this one thanks to both teams being a huge rating draw.

https://youtu.be/2Wpyx_MQcfI

Only 1 picked Patrick

I could go for some club level seats as well. Anybody has any PM me lol

Just saw a forecast say the high on Sunday will be 1 degree....

They said 30 degrees, not 40

-15 wind chill

At -15 wind chill - people can die. I would not be surprised if someone gets hypothermia and dies as a result of being drunk and incapacitated

Everybody stand facing the east and blow at once.

Patriots fan? Realizing it's all over? Giving up? Yup. Sounds about right.

Our defense is ready to kill folks out there.

Does that moron Harrison know what he's looking at are stock video clips?

Whitlock also pretending that Sutton didn't change tendencies last week against the Colts.

It helps if you yell ohhhh instead of ahhhhh

Sure hope the Chiefs are playing the no respect card in locker room

stay strong.
Mind over matter.
dress warm

Use those mouth muscles like the girls in Beijing
