You normally need to shell out a fairly strong chunk of change if you wish to attend an NFL playoff sport. Nonetheless, it doesn’t seem like that’s going to be the case with the showdown between the Chiefs and the Dolphins because of the forecast in Kansas Metropolis.
Saturday’s sport between the Kansas Metropolis Chiefs and the Miami Dolphins has the makings of a fairly strong contest on paper. In any case, you’ve received a few stellar quarterbacks within the type of Patrick Mahomes and Tua Tagovailo in addition to the most effective offense within the NFL going up towards the league’s second-ranked protection.
Nonetheless, one storyline has risen above the pack within the lead-up to the sport: the climate.
There’s an opportunity the Chiefs and the Dolphins find yourself taking part within the coldest sport in NFL historical past when every little thing is claimed and completed. The temperature is predicted to be round 0°F (with a wind chill of -25°F) when the sport kicks off, and it’s very seemingly situations will solely worsen because the night progresses.
That’s not nice information for the Dolphins based mostly on how the group has fared in frigid climate, and whereas the Chiefs will theoretically have home-field benefit on their aspect, you must marvel what number of followers will really take the journey to Arrowhead Stadium to courageous the weather.
Effectively, based mostly on how ticket costs are at present trending, it’s very arduous to think about we’re going to be handled to a packed crowd.
You can seize a seat for as little as $90 should you had been buying the secondary market on Monday, and costs solely continued to slip from there. The most affordable seats had been going for as little as $69 by the point Wednesday rolled round, and as of this writing, the underside has dropped beneath the $40 threshold on a number of platforms.
There’s little doubt loads of borderline-insane souls will find yourself risking frostbite to observe the sport in individual, however I don’t assume you could possibly pay me sufficient to do the identical.
