I dunno if this belongs here or in more sports, I guess I will post it here because it expands to the overall issue of outdoor activities in the cold (swimming in the cold ala the Polar Bear Club), etc etc.

No sport or team on earth would be worth being that miserable for. Especially not when 4K TV is a thing.

So 12 out of 70,000 fans?

Must’ve been the 12 who forgot gloves and wore shitty socks…

-13 was the temp for the '67 Green Bay - Dallas game. Big need to bundle up.

The Packers won both of those games, with the game in 1967 being known as the "Ice Bowl," when the temperature at kick-off was at -13 degrees. The Cowboys never beat the Packers while Vince Lombardi was their head coach.

But that’s how football is supposed to be played, if you don’t lose some digits to frostbite then it wasn’t real “real football.”

My fiancé is a nurse in the ER there (travel assignment) she said they had tons of patients treated for frostbite during that time. Lots of homeless people too.

It’s always been it, we just didn’t pay attention to it because no one cared what happened there.

What's the big deal? They have ten of each. Who needs to balance and pick their nose? Their AI robots can open pickle jars for them in the future.
