Kansas City superfan Christopher Stone hardly ever misses a game. Especially a playoff contest.
Rain, shine or freezing temperatures, 29-year-old Stone and tens of thousands of other Chiefs fans flock to Arrowhead Stadium week after week to cheer on their favorite squad. Stone would even go as far to say that the cold is the kind of weather prefers. “We’re from Kansas City, we’re used to it. It’s the Midwest, we were born for it," Stone told AccuWeather.
“You have to be smart to survive those games,” Stone added. “You spend so much on tickets, you want to be able to enjoy it and not freezing the whole time… when West Coast teams come in here, they’re freezing and have no idea what’s about to happen.”
Stone has plenty of advice to give his fellow fans in advance of the low temperatures. A hat and gloves are mandatory, he said, and long johns under pants help keep him warm throughout the contest. Jumping and screaming helps too, he added and then shared a tip a lot of people may not know about.
“Bring a piece of cardboard or carpet to stand on,” Stone advised to fellow football supporters. “Because when you’re standing on that concrete, your feet will get so cold. Put feet warmers in your boots before you put your feet in there, hand warmers bring those, and thermals of course.”
