This isn't the Alaskan wilderness. Nobody is losing fingers at a football game.

-19° wind chill in KC feels like a -19° wind chill in the Alaskan Wilderness. Some people will be standing in the elements for several hours. At the right temperature you dont have to be exposed for very long to get frost bite. It was more of a joke, but lets not act like its impossible.

I think his point was if your fingers get cold, you can go to parts of the stadium that are warm.

Doesn't sound like it is going to be that bad. But if it was 5 degrees and windy you can get frostbite if you are in it for hours without protection.

If your fingers feel cold, you are still ok. When your fingers have gone numb, they stop hurting. Being drunk would make it more likely. Not likely to lose an entire finger but having even just the tip freeze can be nasty. Or going with cotton socks and sneakers.

Dude, there's stores, restaurants, and tons of other places right behind fans to walk inside and watch the game on TV for 20 minutes until you warm up. Just keep your ticket stub.

Stop acting like they're going on a solo north pole trek.
