Wimps of the world, Canadians are laughing at us. Play the game. 50 years ago we couldn't go out and play football because one mommy wouldn't let her kids outside to play if it was below freezing.
19 degrees and snow over 33 degrees wins everytime.
--------------------------------------------
A few tips I have learned over the years tailgating. Use charcoal not propane if the temp is less than 5 degrees. (propane does not flame well in a sub zero enviroment and cold chili sucks) Chili in a thermos is a good option.
Put your cold food in the cooler to keep it from freezing. ( I learned at the last Colts vs Chiefs playoff game... Crunchy potato salad and frozen Coke sucks.
Keep your insulated boots in the warm cab not in the pickup bed.
A small piece of carpet does work to stand on concrete.

Years ago.........
We left southeast Kansas for a game. Nice weather at home and figured out the Arrowhead forecast was for 35 degrees and rain. A WalMart stop for heavy duty trashbags and Duck tape. I looked like a funky arsed Sumo wrestler and was laughed at but...... The bathroom in the 2nd qtr was full of parked wet freezing red blooded Chiefs fans smoking cigarettes. I was toasty warm standing in the rain. The rain stopped in the third quarter and the trash bags left. My gear was dry and we went home happy with a win, listening to Kevin "oh baby what a play" Harlan. Life is good.
