Dont buy cheap football tickets in the "upperdeck" when its in the single digits and a -15 degree windchill!!
I went to the bills vs colts game today... Bought some tickets from a local car website, and froze my ass off today.. Literally! I drove through a blizzard to get there (I witnessed someone in a blazer plow into a porsche SUV at a toll booth next to me), once in buffalo, we arrived 2 hours early, so we decided to have something to eat... I had 1 shirt, 2 sweaters, a heavy jacket, 2 hats, 2 pairs of gloves, 3 pairs of pants, a scarf, 2 pairs of socks, and a pair of boots. I figured I would be good to go for the game, since I had on a ton of clothing. It wasnt bad out when we were walking in, but once we got up to the top of the stadium (where our seats were), it was much colder. Theres snow and ice all over the bleechers (the bills are cheap bastards). We try to get most of it off, and watch the pregame warm-ups.
It was cool seeing Manning, Wayne, clark, T.O, and Lynch out on the field, even though the colts starters didnt stay out for long. The temp. kept on dropping, and the snow started to pick up, not to mention the ice I was sitting on was starting to melt!
I was just happy to see T.O catch a TD pass in his last game as a buffalo bill. But I will NEVER buy another upper deck ticket when its this cold outside. I thought I had frostbite on my hands, since I couldnt feel them by halftime. The seats werent bad in regards to the view of the field, but they were just bad beause everything was sooo much worse that high in the air. Once we got down to ground level it was much better, but still very cold. I will make sure everyone I go to a game with spends the extra $20 for lower level seats.. I've been to a few games in the past, but never one like this.
