Shortly before I left work boss comes into my office and tells me stuff about good work I've done and says here's four tickets, bring your daughters. How freaking awesome!!

I checked on Section 119, Row 58, Seats 5/6/7/and 8 . They are perfect 50 yard line seats ! Your very fortunate indeed. However it will be bitterly cold for a long period of time. That may be part of the reason why your superior was willing to part with them. I trust that you and yours will be prepared for the bone chilling cold.

Enjoy the game, but please be safe. Oh yes, I can disagree with you sometimes and still care about the health of you and your family.

Taking the high road. [cheers]

That's a nice bonus.
Keep those kids warm, enjoy the game and bring home a Packers victory!

That is so freakin' awesome, Kevin! [giddity]

God, I'm so jealous (not just of the tickets, but of your boss! 🤤 ).

Personally, though, I think you should work a little harder and get like six playoff tickets next time... 😝

Counting on your presence to tip the balance and bring us a victory...

Question : If one, like Kevin, knew that he and his family would be attending an extremely cold event like Sundays Playoff game, what would you eat before the game to help sustain you for the game ?

I ask because long distance runners like to eat Pasta the night before they undertake a marathon. In the same type of thought, what is the best thing to eat that will help generate the body heat needed to sit through about 4 hours in an extremely cold environment ? Is there a lesson here for someone that is not from Wisconsin ?

[cheers]

Grats Kevin!

not to take away from your free tickets ... but I remember when my uncle gave me some free tickets - to the bears game was below 0 perfect seats right on the 50 front row ... but it was sooo cold that I remember buying a beer and having the top of it freeze over by the time we got back to our seats ... we couldnt even make it through the game.

Have fun :)

Thanks everyone!

We went to the 49ers playoff game here few years ago and the high was 5°. The high is supposed to be 7°. Anyhow, at that game I kept asking the girls every few minutes (before the game even started) if they were cold. After kickoff I asked a few more times and they both snapped at me saying "Daddy!! Just WATCH the game! We are fine, in fact I am sweating!!" ...

A little background here ... I made the girls load up on handwarmers, bought them each Carhartt Jackets & Overalls plus boots that would keep them warm if they stood on the Antarctica surface lol. I kept telling them if they were too cold, we can leave and watch at home and don't worry about the cost of the tickets (they are very money consciousness and knew how much it meant to me to be at the game).

When they announced to everyone FREE HOT CHOCOLATE the girls were in heaven! They are giving away free hot chocolate again and I'm sad to say, I think they are looking forward to the hot chocolate more than the game! lol

Awesome Kevin! 4 years ago this weekend I brought the girl I loved to the Vikings Packers playoff game in 0 degree weather. We froze our butts off but it lead to the marriage and son we have today. Tempted to grab some tickets and relive it tomorrow.

As you live in Green Bay, I'd expect you to know how to dress for the cold weather. My question remains, what is the best meal to eat if one knows that they will be facing 4+ hours of extreme cold with limited physical activity ?

I would say a pasta dish like Mac & Cheese, or Spaghetti, or Ravioli. In addition, I'd pack my pockets with salted peanut packs or M & M's or some other easily concealed snack that would not be discovered as I entered the stadium too. The concessionaires will be under much stress to supply "Hot Chocolate" to all that will be wanting it or "Hot Coffee". Staving off hunger may be more important as calories are burned to generate body heat.

Enjoy the game . [cheers]

Pasta or anything else that will be slow digesting would work well. The body is like a furnace and you need to keep fueling the fire
