Jets Game = Rain.

17 posts in this topic

I havn't checked the weather for the game in a few days, and now they are saying it is going to rain. This sucks!

What is the best means to stay semi-dry during a rain game? A poncho? (serious question) First game im going to this year.

Rain will not be a factor at M&T as long as it is not torrential. The field has a great drainage system. Still, the ball will be slick. I don't see this being a high scoring game, but similar to the one last season. I'm hoping that we win by 3 (24 to 21).

Best way to not get wet during the game with a possibility of rain, is simply this.......................let me have your tickets and I will go and occupy your seats, and catch all the rain drops while cheering on the Purple & Black [img]http://content.boards.baltimoreravens.com//public/style_emoticons/default/minioiseau1.gif[/img]

As long as there aren't any delays for lightning! It really shouldn't be that bad. The rain held out for the season opener when it looked like it might storm the whole day!

Besides, as long as the Ravens are winning I'm sure you'll hardly notice the rain. As for those Jets though... it'll just make the flight back home even more miserable!

Going shirtless is certainly the best way to stay dry. Keep a towel and a shirt in your car, then just dry off when you're leaving.

To answer the question seriously, ponchos are your best bet. You can get good heavy-duty re-useable ones, or some of those cheap Dollar Store ones. The good ones are nice, but but you have to carry them around, dry them out, and fold them back up after use. The Dollar Store ones will fit in your pocket and can be thrown out afterwards.

Poncho, with a hood. Decent Coleman brand ones at walmart, $5 or $6.

I'd suggest combining a beer bong with a beer helmet via duct tape, to collect the rain water and deposit [img]http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f114/karn454/flkjf.jpg[/img]on the fan in the row below you.
