Alright, folks, let’s talk about my little experiment from the last NFL game. The big question was: can you actually wear a heated jacket to one of these things? I’m a big fan of staying warm, and those stadium seats can get pretty chilly, especially in the later months. So, I decided to put it to the test.
First off, I grabbed my trusty heated jacket. It’s one of those with the battery pack and different heat settings. I made sure the battery was fully charged the night before. Didn’t want to be stuck with a cold jacket in the middle of the third quarter, right?
Getting Through Security
This was my main concern. Would they let me in with a jacket that has wires and a battery? I walked up to the security gate, fully expecting to be turned away or at least have to explain myself for an hour. I opened my jacket and showed the security guy the battery pack, wires, heating elements and everything. He took a look, then asked me whether it’s medical equipment or not. I said “no, it’s just for keeping warm”. Then, he just shrugged and waved me through. Seriously, that was it. No hassle at all! I was in!
Game Time!
- The game started, and it was pretty mild out, so I didn’t turn the jacket on right away. I wanted to see how the temperature would change.
- As the game went on, the sun started to set, and the wind picked up. I could feel the chill creeping in. That’s when I flipped the switch on my jacket.
- I started on the lowest setting, just to take the edge off. It was perfect. A nice, gentle warmth.
- Later on, I bumped it up to medium. Still comfortable, still toasty.
The Verdict
So, can you wear a heated jacket to an NFL game? Absolutely! At least in my experience. I stayed warm and comfortable the entire time. No issues with security, no problems with the jacket itself. Honestly, it made the whole game experience even better. I wasn’t shivering, I could focus on the game, and I was just all-around comfortable.
If you’re thinking about bringing a heated jacket to a game, I say go for it. Just make sure it’s charged, and maybe be prepared to explain what it is to security, just in case. But honestly, it’s a game-changer. Stay warm out there, friends!
