Wonder if they'll let folks sit where they want Saturday night. There's gonna be a ton of empty seats in the lower bowl.
I would be grateful to the athletic department if they allowed that as our tickets are in section X.
Can confirm they were there for 2013. Can see them in some of the shots
A good game to have a plastic mouthpiece
They were and they will be. Not only that but in that weird traditions the seniors will leave their shoes on the field.
I was at the '85 OSU game. Stands were empty, and Thurman Thomas couldn't get a yard all day. He was wrecked. I was with my brother and a couple of friends. Wandered the stadium, sitting anywhere we wanted, and even stood in the north stands (just bleachers at the time - no building behind) and tried to catch an extra point kick. Hung out in the bathrooms at halftime to warm up. Cold as a witch's ninnies! Not sorry to have missed the 2013 KU game.
I'm at a conference at a resort on the Aegean Sea coast of Turkey. Gorgeous. Leaving on Friday to make it back in time to tailgate and go to the game on Saturday. What was I thinking!
Next time give us pictures of the bikinis on the beach. That would be nicer.
It doesn’t keep you warm, just keep it from not getting frost bite as quickly at most. Know people who tried and it did nothing.
Just replying once though
I was at that Kansas game with my brother. Both of our wives were smart enough to not go. We bundled up but our feet were definitely cold from being on ice all game long. My brother just about left early because he has poor circulation in his feet to begin with.
I plan to bring some cardboard to put my feet on. It sounds crazy but it makes a big difference. the corrugated cardboard keeps a layer of insulation between your feet and the cold concrete (or ice in the case of the Kansas game). I brought some for a game a few years ago. All my buddies were making fun of me before the game but by the end of the game they were glad I brought a big enough piece for all of us.

They did and I felt so bad for the seniors leaving their shoes on field. The field wasn’t so bad but when they got to the sideline there was a lot of ice.
Weather Channel
Weather Underground says essentially the same thing but with 16 at kickoff with a wc of 4.

Wind will be a factor in regard to the temp. Gonna be a ***** if you're on the east side of the stadium.

My 7 yr old informed me yesterday that we are NOT leaving early.
What is it with these 7 year olds and their entitlement? My 7 year old son insists he is going to the game and my biggest concern is him getting too cold. I think I'll probably take him because I feel like the best memories are made when conditions are the worst.
