I know this is a longshot but I'm looking to get rid of two for this Sunday. They're really good seats, $175 face. I'd take $250 for the pair.

Good luck with that. Lucky to have sold mine on Monday before people figured out it was going to be historically cold

Yeah, I may end up going myself. I thought it was supposed to warm up a little as snow came in. Bears and Packers in the snow? Isn't that what's it's supposed to be about? I keep forgetting that the NFL is a television program.

Can't troll people into buying your crappy tickets. Im guessing it would be tough to sell two tickets to a White Sox game for $250 if they were 30-100 and playing in zero degree weather.

FWIW the forecast high @ noon on Sunday is around -3 with winds @ ~10mph.

The difference is that the NFL advertises this as football weather. Baseball doesn't advertise zero degrees as baseball weather.

Are you advocating that the NFL become a summer sport?

:lol: I don't really care about selling the tickets. But come on! Isn't "Bear Weather" part of the appeal? I'm sorry your favorite sport plays its schedule at a time when the weather is shitty.

The NFL does not advertise this as football weather. This will be the coldest Bears game since they started recording game temperature.

This is amazing. Jorr was actually able to troll himself into another thread. :lol:

Depends on just how cold it is.

The worst sporting event I ever went to was a Monday night football game between the Bears and Packers in 2008. I was back on a sort of Christmas Break after Basic Training but before AIT, and my parents had gotten me two tickets to the game as a present. I was excited as hell. Wind Chill was something like -15 when we got there, and they announced it was the coldest kickoff in Soldier Field history. Midway through the first quarter every beer in the stadium was frozen and the taps werent working either so it was basically impossible to get a beer. My cousin and I ended up leaving at halftime and watching the Packers lose at a bar down the street.

-3 with wind whipping off the lake is MUCH different than 20s/30s.

That's a feature, not a bug. The price of the tickets just went up!

FOOTBALL TOUGH!

I went to some meaningless Bears-Packers game around New Years a few years ago, and the wind chill was like -35. It was just stupid. Everyone was miserable, and people were selling hand warmers for like twenty bucks. I'm not sure what the point of it all was.
