Just wear anything green ... lots of vile and factual hot air will come your way.

I went to the playoff game vs. the Ravens in January 2010...THAT was fuggin' cold, OK? This weekend is BALMY WEATHER for any New Englander by comparison.

that was warm compared to the titans playoff game in 03...4 deg..wind chill of -11. I was sitting in 218 for that game...crazy how i remember that

It is not "Shrimp on the Barbie weather", but does not seem all that bad, for New England Weather in November...

They are predicting a gentle breeze of a mere 27 mph...

Just enjoy the day... the sounds and all that goes with it.

Would a cheesehead hat help too?

I'll bring a kite! We certainly intend to enjoy the game- we've come a long way to see it.

My son wants to go to the hockey on Sat night too. It's only 300m from our apartment, so I guess we'd be crazy not to go.

I heard by kick off, with the sun down and wind chill its gonna feel somewhere in the low 20's!

Maybe bring a couple of plastic bags and tie it over your shoes if you don't want them wet. A trick my mum used to do when I was a kid cos we didn't have a lot of money to buy/change shoes frequently.

Well, remember, though that you can't bring any bags or backpacks into the stadium (except in a wee plastic bag) and anything in your pockets will be subject to body search. So don't get over-prepared with stuff for any contingency.

I hope you guys have a great time, Chris!

Yes. I was in 313 row 7, so pretty close to the stairs going down to the concessions. There was a coors lt stand right at the bottom. Went down, maybe sometime in 2nd quarter and in my short walk/stumble back to my seat I had a coors light slush...it was ****ING cold that day...

Some forecasts calling for snow and a low of 32 tomorrow!

So we went to a great camping store in Boston called Hilton's. Got my son a North Face Goretex jacket, gloves, long-johns for me, plus hand and toe warmers for both of us. Will go back and get waterproof over-pants if they are still forecasting rain in the morning. Don't wanna be wet in those conditions.

Everyone we talk to seems pretty excited about this game.

Thanks. We are so far, despite the weather. Booked our Patriots Train tickets, so we're good to go.

Just found out I can't take my GoPro into the stadium (no video cameras). I didn't want to record any video, just hi-res wide-angle stills. Will have to put up with crappy iPhone photos.

How big is the gopro? I bet you can sneak it in.

chris-in-oz · Nov 1, 2014

About 1.5x the size of a cigarette packet, but I think they pat you down? They did at AT&T stadium last week. If they find it I either lose a $350 GoPro or $800 worth of tickets. Ouch!

Have a great time.

I'd like to sneak MY 9 inch "gopro" in somewhere but that'd be an obvious sex crime...
