The Tomcat Posted January 11 Posted January 11 I am lucky enough to fall into some tickets under the heat lamps this weekend. Our seats are in the 4th row. Will the heaters be helping us? It seems they are a bit behind us overhead. Never sat there before. Any insight would be appreciated. Asking for a friend! Go Bills! 1 Quote
Just Jack Posted January 11 Posted January 11 You might get some heat, but you're going to be exposed to the elements. Dress in layers anyway. 1 Quote
uninja Posted January 11 Posted January 11 You'll feel a bit of residual warmth from them, but you're technically not 'under' the lamps until you get to the 9th row back (I'm pretty sure, don't quote me). 1 4 Quote
strive_for_five_guy Posted January 11 Posted January 11 The wind might blow some heat your way, I’m thinking you won’t be pulling a Ryan Fitzpatrick and taking your shirt off though. 1 1 Quote

nato7412 Posted January 11 Posted January 11 The overhang starts in the 6th row so you won’t get help from the heaters. Going into the club before the game and at halftime is a plus with the weather. We have gone into the club as soon as the stadium opened in cases it was super cold and we didn’t want to tailgate for a very long time like the NE playoff game. Have fun and make sure to bring a shovel and cardboard to help your car out after the game, especially in non paved lots. Additionally brining styrofoam to stand on can be helpful as the ground will be very cold to stand on the whole game. Also gives you a couple extra inches to see over the crowd. Go Bills! 1 1 Quote
Einstein Posted January 11 Posted January 11 The heat lamps increase the "feels like" temp by about 20 degrees, in my opinion. A 30 degree day, feels like a 50 degree day (under the lamps). A 15 degree day, feels like a 35 degree day. Etc, etc. But ONLY if you are row 7 and UP. If you are row 6 or lower, the lamps do little to nothing. Quote

Hunter heat packs in your boots and gloves are a MUST. Thank me later, you'll be able to enjoy the game instead of wondering how much longer you have to endure your feet literally so cold your bones are hurting from touching the concrete. 1 1 Quote
wolfpack78 Posted January 11 Posted January 11 I have tickets in row 2 of 237 - and while not directly under the heaters, I do get some heat from them. Quote

If he does, I defiantly want to see it. Fitzpatrick demonstrates why bears don’t seem to mind winter! 1 Quote
Heitz Posted January 11 Posted January 11 (edited) Eh, this dude seemed fine without a shirt, if I were you I'd leave the jacket at home but would grow out that chest hair... Edited January 11 by Heitz 1 2 2 Quote

I use insulated muck boots. Work like a champ without heat packs. Quote

The lamps will help some, but with that wind it might not matter. You have to be in rows 7 and up to get the full fry lamp effect. Quote

Since1981 Posted January 11 Posted January 11 Row 7 Heat lamp worth very little with 30 mph wind. Feet warmers! People don’t realize that concrete sucks the life out of you thru your feet Quote

I was at Rockpile as a kid (around 10) during last season from Steelton. Walked there (10.5 mi) for if I got my bike stolen I'd have my butt beaten. Got a partial ride by someone on the way to work who recognized me. Got there late. Did not have enough money for ticket but guy at gate told me to wait and asked me if I had any cigarettes and I told him no just wooden box matches to keep my hands warm. A friend of his came by, he asked for a ticket and he told me the money I had and a box of matches). He got cigarettes from friend. I paid friend and he asked if I had any more matches and I said yes and gave guy at gate a box. Watched until mid-3rd quarter and left because I was supposed to be home for dinner. Got in back of a truck at a light and chased out a few miles down in South Buffalo. I got home late and no supper. No one found out I went to game. 2 1 Quote
