Or did you already try that approach?

I would have done that, yes.
The managing partner did not. They're good folks but it's just a novel concept for pretty much everyone that isn't a Chiefs fan and he didn't want to lean on them (they're in their early 60s and when the plans were made it was a 0 degree forecast). I don't want to be too hard on them but damn; he and I have been doing this for over a decade and it's just the damndest thing to me that this will be maybe the 4th or 5th game of around 100 that we aren't gonna do a full spread for. We were out there for 4 hours in that hellish ice game against the Titans but now I'm getting "there's no pride in losing fingers" from him. Dafuq?
But **** it - we just rented a limo for 8 hours. We'll have it sitting in the lot waiting for us after the game with a cooler iced down and a television; 10 person car for 6 of us so here's hoping. Definitely not traditional but whatever. In for a penny, in for a pound I guess...
There was no way I was risking sitting in that lot for an hour waiting for a car. Either we'd lose the high from the win or we'd sit there freezing and miserable after a loss. This way we can either hop in a warm car and get to drinking after a momentous occasion or....hop into a warm car and get to drinking after a soul crushing loss.
