Chicago is a barren, Hoth-like hellscape most of the year, but today’s game between the Bears and Broncos looks like it will be played in especially chilly conditions. Seats were covered in a layer of thick ice this morning and the wind chill will keep it well below freezing today. The temperature is expected to reach the mid-20’s around kickoff. Fans were already asked to arrive early because of increased security measures, now they’re going to be stuck in the bowels of the stadium trying to stay warm in freezing temperatures.
Of course, not everyone is letting the weather get to them.
