The recent Chief's Dolphins game may have the NFL rethinking cold weather protocol.
"The Kansas City Fire Department (KCFD) rendered aid to 69 people – with “close to 50% … for hypothermia symptoms” – during the game, KCFD battalion chief Michael Hopkins told CNN.
Fifteen of the patients seen were transported by KCFD, “seven for hypothermia symptoms, three for frostbite symptoms, and five for various other reasons,” said Hopkins."
I can remember way back in the day watching either the Vikings, Packers or Bills on those super cold days playing outdoors. So glad college for the most part does not have to deal with those conditions.
