    Excellent seats for Steelers @ Bills are available for ~ $200, cheap seats for $100, and visitor sideline at the 45 yard line for $300… Why so cheap you ask? Apparently they are forecasting 20 degree temps with constant wind at 20MPH and frequent gusts up to 50MPH. Oh, and now it looks like a band of lake effect snow may hit exactly at game time dropping 4-5 inches per hour…

    It sounds WONDERFUL! That’s what Football is supposed to be!

      In college, I used to walk from my friend's house to attend the Wildcats games at Dyche Stadium Ryan Field. One particularly cold day the game was broadcast on ABC. After freezing our asses off during the first half, we said, "Screw it. Let's go back to your house and watch the second half."

      It was more comfortable, had a better view of the plays, and we enjoyed a (not too) cold one (or three) at his home.

        No question that sitting at home and watching on the couch is generally a better viewing experience. Heck, if the snow hits, you likely won’t even be able to see the field at the stadium… But you won’t be a part of the experience.

              I think it sounds awesome. Most likely a lot of running the ball, but I say go for it!

                You could splurge and get some of those battery operated warming vests/gloves/socks and you'll be nice a toasty!

                            Tickets at the 45, 3 rows back are now at $208… Karla gave me the go ahead, but it was kinda ominous the way she said it…

                            Of course I have to get there… 1-3 feet predicted…

                                      By the rules? No. In practice? It happens, I’m sure. I wouldn’t. Not for something like this. Too easy to get caught and get the boot…

                                          D2 and I attended a concert at Ravinia Park two years ago. It's an outdoor venue for musical performances. It has a picnic-like feel to it, with people hanging out on the lawn, enjoying picnic meals, wine, and music over speakers.

                                          However, the pavilion is a covered part, with seats that are more expensive. Think outdoor concert under a roof.

                                          When we got our seats, by concert time, there were many better seats unoccupied. I'd guess that at least a third of the seats in front of us were vacant. We considered moving up at intermission, but, yeah, you're right, we might have gotten booted out.
