Popular Post Royale with Cheese Posted January 2, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 2, 2022 Today was my son’s first home Bills game. My son is 6 and we live on n Atlanta. He’s never experienced anything like the weather we had today….especially sitting in it for multiple hours. He was layered both up top and bottom. At the beginning of the 3rd quarter, he starts crying and shivering badly….especially his feet. I take him to the Bills store, all socks sold out. We take off his boots and his feet are red. One staff member gets a blanket and starts rubbing his feet to warm him up. Since all socks are sold out, the other staff member took off her socks and put it on his feet. They cover him with another blanket and rub all over him. EMT arrives and they start looking over him. After the care of the ladies, he felt fine. The EMT’s said he looks fine now and asked us if we wanted to go watch the rest of the game in a heated room. He said no…he wants to go back out there to his seats. What looked like it could have been a disaster turned out to be wonderful. I can’t thank that staff enough. I got all their names and store number. The Front Office will definitely get an email from me. I am so incredibly thankful and made me love Buffalo even more. 29 104 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should have asked if the heated room was the owners suite. Just now, Einstein said: I see another donation spree starting from this 🤦🏻♂️ In all seriousness, that’s cool.

I never attend cold games without hunter heat packs... remember spending more time dreading how cold my feet were than enjoying the game.

I think it's time to resurrect that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
