Weather for chiefs game this weekend

[chiefzilla1501]

What's it looking like in kc for this weekend? Looked at the forecast and looks like it could be pretty cold? Watson doesn't have a ton of experience playing in weather. From what I remember it was pretty nice the last time Houston came into town.

Awesome 18 degrees this morning!

The revised forecast is that it's going to be raining touchdown passes on the Titans' defense.

Going to my first game this year on Sunday.

Won't matter. A win and a trip to the SB is what me an my grandson will be watching. Go Chiefs

If the ground is still wet from Friday's snow in the area, it could be very uncomfortable. At a minimum, I'd recommend bringing some cardboard to stand on if you don't have boots so that you have another layer between your feet and the frigid concrete.

Interestingly enough, the Chiefs/Titans game in 2017 was the coldest game ever at Arrowhead. IIRC it was like 5 degrees at kick-off with a -7 windchill or something like that.

Even with my house set to 72, the fireplace going, and having thick thermal socks on my feet stay a constant -100°. It's 52° outside now fwiw, and I'm freezing my nuts off. We've had a few days in the teens (with wind chill in the single digits) this year and I'm pretty sure I almost died

It got to 8 below and - 21 wind chill here this morning FFS

The wind is what worries me. It can cut right through you.

According to Pro Football Reference , here are the top five coldest Chiefs games since the AFL-NFL merger.

December 18, 1983 against the Denver Broncos: 0.5 degrees
December 18, 2016 against the Tennessee Titans: 1 degree
December 10, 1972 against the Baltimore Ravens: 7.5 degrees
December 17, 2000 against the Denver Broncos: 9 degrees
December 21, 2008 against the Miami Dolphins: 10 degrees

The Titans game was so cold that the propane heater (a drywall heater that just blasts flames into a metal cylinder) froze to the ground. It would heat up the surrounding snow/ice enough to melt and run but the concrete in the parking lot was so cold that it would immediately re-freeze.

That game was ridiculous.

Yeah same here, but up to 25 today. I may have to break out the shorts and T-shirt.

They let you bring in blankets. Last year I was cleaning out my dad's house with stuff I couldn't take with me. I took the nicest, thickest blanket in the house to the game with me. I wrapped it over my legs and put my feet on it too. I was toasty.

Just about all of the beer taps at the concession stands were frozen by the 3rd quarter too. That was rough...

Yup, we were sitting our cans on top of that same freezer and ultimately put a pot of boiling water on a campstove just to put our beers in to get them drinkable.

I think there was a fairly cold game the week prior (Oakland) and when that was over I said "y'know what, **** this - I'm not gonna be cold at a game again" and spent about $800 on various bits of cold-weather gear. New boots, insulated layers for my carharts (because I won't wear my ski gear out there and ruin it barbecuing), new gloves, new mittens, hats, neck warmers - just decided that suffering wasn't worth it.

And man oh man was I happy to have that stuff for the TN game.

It was 23° here this morning while I was brushing the snow off of my car and I thought it felt pretty balmy. Much better than the last few days.

Coldest week of winter thus far up here in Saskatchewan.

The battery on my half-ton is pooched.
School transportation cancelled today. -35 Celsius (-31 Fahrenheit) before windchill. Yesterday with windchill it was -47 Celsius (-52.6 Fahrenheit).

Brutal.

Things warming up by early next week however.

I wore my ice fishing boots to that dolphins game. Basically all of my ice fishing gear. The boots are rated to 80 below.
