Thread: Packers to offer fans free coffee

GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Sunday's playoff contest in Green Bay could be one of the coldest NFL games ever played, rivaling the subzero temperatures of the legendary Ice Bowl of 1967.

Temperatures at Lambeau Field are expected to be minus-2 degrees when the Packers and 49ers kick off and are expected to drop as the night continues. At the so-called Ice Bowl, also in Green Bay, it got down to minus-13.

The Packers plan to pass out 70,000 hand warmers, packets that fit inside gloves or boots and stay warm for up to 10 hours. The team will also provide free coffee and hot chocolate.

AND

The Philadelphia Eagles also find themselves dealing with troublesome weather, as they have two to three million pounds of snow that needs clearing from their stadium complex ahead of Saturday night's game against the Saints.

Free coffee! Right on. Your hands get cold digging out money to pay for stuff.
The ice bowl of 67 was played during the day. This idea of playing playoff games after dark, in January, needs to be reconsidered. I know they want saturday night primetime, but nobody even wants to go to some of these games. Not to mention that day games have less crime, or one would think.Why cant they stick to the times of the regular season games, thats 11 am and 2 pm MST

Hope the hand warmers work better than the ones I had at the Bal playoff game. After about 15 minutes they would get hard as a rock and stop putting out heat.

Green bay is going to be colder than Denver last January, so it's going to be brutal.

Yum. Nothing like frozen coffee. It won't stay warm very long in that weather and you might scald your throat trying to drink it too quickly. I see a lawsuit coming.
