How To Dress For Sunday’s Bills Game Against The Bengals

The Buffalo Bills are taking on the Cincinnati Bengals this Sunday at Highmark Stadium. If you're going to the game, you're going to want to be prepared for the weather. It's going to be a bit chilly.

The last couple of days have been downright freezing in Western New York. Correct that, they've been way below freezing! We were in the single digits in some areas. Don't let that scare you away from the game on Sunday. As long as you dress appropriately, you should be fine.

This game was originally scheduled for 4:25 pm on Sunday, but was flexed into the 1 pm slot a couple of weeks ago. It could make a difference when it comes to the timing of this weather.

For now, the National Weather Service is calling for snow to start just after 1 pm on Sunday with a high of 33. The good news is that the wind won't be crazy. They're calling for a calm wind with speeds under 10 mph.

How should you dress if you're going to the game at Highmark Stadium?

Normally, the worst weather to endure in the stadium is rain and wind. They're even worse when they come together. Luckily, it doesn't look like you'll have to deal with much of that this week. However, if you're not from around Western New York, or you've never sat through a 3.5-hour game and you're still worried about staying warm...

Your best bet in the stadium is to always think about layers. This might be overkill for this week, but if you're concerned about being warm, doing this will help. Remember, you can always take a layer off if you're too hot, but you can't add something that you don't have once you get inside.

How to dress on your upper half for a cold-weather game

I have always worn a loose-fitting t-shirt. Then I put a loose-fitting long-sleeve shirt over that. Follow that up with a big sweatshirt, a hoodie, or a fleece. Then wear a jacket over all of that. If you wear a jersey, you might want to try to fit it over the jacket.

As far as the lower half goes, I still like to layer up there, too. I always like to wear a pair of shorts (this gives you one more layer between your butt and the bleachers without being too bulky on your legs in case you have to sit), then a pair of sweatpants, followed by a pair of jeans or thick windpants. You could probably get away with whatever pants you want to wear and a pair of snow pants if you really want to be warm. I just find that to be really bulky.

Remember a warm pair of gloves for your hands and a hat for your head. A hood will help to block a lot of that wind, too. You can wear a couple of pairs of socks with some boots, just don't wear anything tight on your feet. You want to encourage circulation, not cut it off.

Believe it or not, normally that is plenty once you get into the stadium. The people around you will definitely add to the heat at least a little bit. Try to stay warm when you're tailgating. If you are cold while you're moving around, it's going to get worse when you're standing still.

Other than that, get ready to have some fun, and Go Bills!
