The Green Bay Packers announced today that free hot chocolate will be available at Lambeau Field during Sunday's game to help fans battle the forecasted cold.
The free hot chocolate will be available at about 40 concession stands throughout the stadium and is limited to 2 per customer.
The Packers are also issuing a few reminders for Sundays game.
Fans are asked to allow themselves extra time to make their way to the stadium gates, as the safety screening process may take longer with fans dressed in heavier clothing for the cold.
Blankets and unzipped sleeping bags may be carried into the stadium if they are carried loosely.
Bellin Health is also providing tips for battling cold weather:
- Dress appropriately: Hypothermia and frostbite can occur even without subzero temperatures. Wear loose, dry layers, but don't overdress. Give yourself the opportunity to shed layers to adjust to weather changes. Try a mix of cotton or wool underneath, with something waterproof on top. Be sure to wear a hat and mittens, as well as comfortable, waterproof, insulated boots.
- Drink warm beverages: And drink alcoholic beverages in moderation. Alcohol prevents the body from generating heat and can cause dehydration, which leaves one more susceptible to cold weather.
- Watch for warning signs of hypothermia: Signs include severe shivering, dizziness, drowsiness and confusion. Learn the signs of frostbite and seek medical attention immediately if you notice grayish, white or yellowed skin, pain or numbness, or waxy skin.
