Keeping Warm @ Football Games

Heated portable bench seat (if you can't fiind one buy the regular
portable bench seat made for bleachers then add hand warmers to
sit on)
Wool plaid lap blanket
Thermos of hot cocoa
Heater hat (reg wool ski cap)
Wool socks
Scarf
Boots
Toasty warm. Overdressed a bit? Possibly but then disrobe as needed.
Big 5 for hand warmers. Have fun dressed as the Michellin Man

get those pocket warmers in sporting goods stores, we used them when skiing -- they fit inside shoes and gloves

Yup I was going to suggest pocket warmers too! I've even seen them at Target in the dollar section during the fall/winter months, so check that out! Other than that, good old fashioned hat, scarf, coat and boots work well too! I noticed that foot wear is more serious than I imagined! ;) If you have on warm socks and shoes, it really does help keep your whole body warm!

There's a few things I do....
1. A pad to sit on. Those metal bleachers are cold.
2. A pair of thermal or wool socks. If your feet are cold your whole body will be cold.
3. Layers. I wear a turtle neck, a sweater/sweat shirt, and a waterproof jacket - it always seems damp at night.
4. A scarf. It's breezy up in the stands and I don't like getting that cold chill down my back.
5. A don't know what they're called "therma....." . Little packs you hold in your hands or put in the toes of your shoes.

Thermal underwear is great. The picket warmers work well too. And I second a thermos with hot soup, coffee, chocolate, tea, and even sausages!

THERMA CARE HEAT WRAPS!! Get the kind for your back & it will keep your core warm & cozy!!! :)

Two words: WOOL SOCKS.

No cotton or other blends. It's amazing the difference wool socks can make. They can be hard to find (try Marshalls, TJ Maxx, outdoor stores) and pricey--they are SO worth it!

Do they make a portable 'electric' blanket? I'd definitely be googling it! I wonder if some hunting supply company has one? How about a sleeping bag rated for below zero?

In the winter months I always wear spandex pants/leggings underneath my clothes. They help so much when the wind is whipping through your outer layers.

I just found a heavy Under Armour turtleneck that I'll be donning this fall/winter also.

You'll also want a windproof coat and layer, layer, layer.

ETA: Mittens are sooo much warmer than gloves. A little more hard to find for adults though.

You can take a new tube sock, fill it with plain white rice, tie the top of the tube sock closed. You end up with a fat squooshy tube sock. Then microwave the sock for about 2 minutes, squeeze the hot rice around, microwave for another minute or 2 (depends on how powerful your microwave is), and that sock will stay warm for about 30-45 minutes. I made these for my kids to put in their snow suits when they go sledding. The hand-warmers you can buy at CVS or at Amazon.com by the case stay warm longer but are small so you need a few.
Here is a link to the ones I bought in singles at CVS but come by the case at Amazon:

Usually your own adrenaline will keep you warm. I was always so pumped during my kids games I never realized I was cold :)

Fleece blankets work great! Get a big one that you can sit on and pull up around your body. Fleece pullovers are great to wear and then you can put handwarmers and feetwarmers in your gloves and shoes. We go to all Titans games and it gets really cold in the winter, I do all of this and then also wear a fleece head band that covers my ears. Have fun!

Layers of shirts, sweatshirts, jacket, leggings under pants, and a couple of pair of socks.

I do layers, a jacket with a hood, blanket and always something warm to drink. Great question, anxious to see what others say.

I always bring a sleepingbag! Open at the bottom so my feet are solid on the bleechers, but zipped up keeps me toasty!

Get some huge tube socks and fill them about 2/3 full of white rice. You can microwave them for a minute each then put them in a container to keep them warm, like a shiny fold up carry style cooler. The shiny silver lining will reflect the heat and keep them really warm. I use them like this when we are at soccer games.

I have a blanket I carry in the van and then when we get there I get all snugly with the blanket and put a rice bag in the small of my back, around my neck, even under my arms. These are places the blood is close to the surface. If the blood is warm the whole body feels warmer too.

Also, there are reusable hand warmers that fit the bill too. Just snap them to create the chemical mixing, place them at specific places on the body, then when you are done you follow the instructions and they go back to their original state.

Here are some links:

These are boiled to make them go back to the original state.
