How to stay warm and comfortable at Soldier Field on Sunday?

Lifelong season ticket holder here! Layers are obvious and important but should be well thought out! I’m a female so I will give you what I wear: Tank top, then long sleeved thermal top, then a hoodie over that top, then a down vest followed by my winter down coat. For my legs, I went on Amazon and purchased fleece lined leggings which I wear with sweatpants over them. If you’re a guy I’m sure they make them as well. Long underwear, etc. Jeans over the leggings are fine as well! I recently purchased heated gloves on Amazon as well and although they’re not a godsend, they’re great paired with hand and feet warmers you get at Walgreens! For my feet I do tube socks and then I wrap tin foil over my toes (yes seriously) followed by Saran Wrap (it keeps everything in place) and sometimes another pair of socks over, sometimes not. Cardboard used to be the trick here, but soldier field banned it recently. All of the above and a beanie hat get the job done! I don’t bother with scarves although it won’t hurt! See you Sunday! BEAR DOWN!

Also, a face gaiter is such a game changer if there’s a bit of wind. You can pull it up and down as you want and it makes a huge difference for your nose.

I was with you on all of that until you got to the cardboard. Can you explain that? Can you also explain why it’s been banned? And why didn’t you mention the peppermint schnapps, by the way?

the cold comes up through the sole of your shoes when you stand on cold concrete for hours — cardboard acts as an insulator/buffer

Insulated coveralls. Dickies or Carhartt.

Go to REI and tell them you’re climbing Denali…buy whatever they tell you minus crampons and an ice axe.
