Will Saturday's temperatures change your tailgating plans?
- Thread starter Sparkplug
- Start date
Usually in one of the corners facing the stadium. We are usually one of the first few to get to A4.
My plans have changed a little. I am bringing my 7 year old son with me. Due to that we won't be showing up until a little later. He handles the heat OK but want to make sure that he isn't completely wiped before the game starts. My wife is staying home with the daughters since our 4 year old has a history of puking when she gets too hot and doesn't handle the heat all that well.
The only other change we will be making is that we will probably fire up the truck every now and then to sit in the AC if there isn't a breeze.
Hoping since the sun goes down a little earlier now that by the second half it won't be so horrible.

It has changed what food we are bringing, and the amount of water. We aren't going to be doing anything super heavy food-wise, just brats and then I think some watermelon to keep it light.
I wouldn't doubt it, especially the more fair weather fan (some pun intended). If you are just going for the experience and what not it is an easy choice to make. Stay home in the A/C and watch with a potentially better view.
I would also bet good money a sizable number of people bought more/extras just to sell once it was sold out and closer to the date to make money.
Get a hold of the guy with all the extra bottles of water from RAGBRAI.
FYI - HyVee has bottles of Gatorade 10/$8.88, with 1¢ per bottle on the fuel saver card.
Do not bring food that has any type of salad dressing (mayo or Miracle Whip). You wouldn't believe how fact organisms can grow in that stuff in the heat.
