How do you stay warm?

[quincy]

I sit in the car with the heater on and hope I can see the field. The other plus is I can yell at the players, coaches and umpires.

I just went ahead and moved to South Florida.

Well, currently, I stay warm by staying in the house with the furnace on watching it SNOW outside. Oh yeah.... I am also wearing a beanie on my bald head. Have I mentioned that I HATE winter!

When it snowed here in MN a couple of days ago, I told my DDs that it felt like softball season. We've had two really bad springs for school ball the past couple of years where snowouts were not uncommon. Hopefully, this coming spring will be better.

Looking long term, I've put my DDs on notice that once I ship my youngest DD off to college that I will be spending my winters in southern Florida. I am not a winter person.

Im freezing at practices, I want a heater. We have a tournament scheduled in December. What kind of heater do you have? How do you stay warm? I am assuming it should be a camping type heater, not electric. Help!

For practices, sit in your car. For tourneys, I have used the Lava Buns but by the second game they are done, its seat cushion with a microwavable insert. I have a bunch of HotSnapz hand warmers that my DD bought me for Christmas one year. Those are nice and you can wait to activate them when you need them.

Other then that we don't need much else, never saw a propane heater at a tourney before. But we live in Michigan not one of the cold weather states.

Isn't it funny as we age how we become less and less winter people. We had 7 degrees yesterday morning with 45 mph wind. COLD!!!!!!!

Everyone up here has the propane heaters, but oddly enough I’ve never seen one at a ball game. I have thought of bringing my fish house a couple times though.

Got DW one of these for windy night football practices. Best if you have a jacket with one common pocket that both hands can access. Burns up to 6h.

As with anything, stop the wind first and everything works better.

My wife is forever freezing at tournaments. She saw this at a tournament in St. Louis. Talked to a friend of the inventor and it's supposed be up to 30 degrees warmer inside. Ordered one for my wife for Christmas. This keeps the cold rain off her too.Under the Weather | Weather protection, Soccer tent shelter for sale

My DD said that she would never talk to me again if I bought one of those!!!

Funny! I won't sit in that either, but my wife will not care as long as she's warm!
