Maybe they should have had a smaller stadium......

I've read some of the coverage on this, lots of Darwin Award candidates. Mostly because of tailgating and setting up tailgates with hands exposed. I mean maybe it would have been prudent to forego having a 4 hour tailgate???? I speak as someone who has attended most of the Bears "top 10' including the #1 game which was 2 above.

The Xmas Eve game at SF in 2022 was 4 above. You're fine with some common sense.

I wanted to have my brain amputated after the Illinois State game.

One guy tried to sue the Chiefs. He didn't have a leg to stand on

Definite difference between 4 above and -27 degree windchill. You never hear about this at Lambeau although that doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen.

Kansas City isn't a cold weather city like Chicago or Buffalo but like any city it can have it's cold spells. Fans just aren't use to it.

What about Chicago State? Haven’t heard about them in a day or so.

They should string all the amputated appendages together and hang them from the Kansas City Chiefs Official Christmas Tree. The tree lighting ceremony can be hosted by Taylor Swift!!
