My fiance and I live in the northeastern section of the country, and we’re large hockey fans.
Both of us seldom buy tickets to the games, preferring to watch on TV.
The weather in our local section is regularly nasty during the majority of the hockey season. The outside temperature drops below freezing and occasionally as low as disadvantage twenty-more than four degrees. Heading to the arena means both of us need to bundle up in Wintertide boots, sweaters and heavy coats. Both of us first spend around twenty minutes brushing snow off the car, scraping ice off the windshield and running the defrost and heater. Driving to the rink can be somewhat hazardous due to icy roads and blizzard conditions. Once both of us park the car, both of us are forced to walk through the nasty weather before finally getting inside. Even with a heating plan running, the arena is constantly freezing cold. If both of us watch from home, both of us have easy access to bathrooms, snacks and the temperature control. Both of us can adjust the temperature so that we’re perfectly comfortable, last year, our fiance and I visited our son, who moved down south. As a surprise, our kid took us to a professional hockey game. Both of us dressed in shorts and sandals and ran the cooling system in the car. I brought a coat with me, thinking the arena would be cold. The rink was entirely running the air conditioner, trying to keep the arena pleasantly cool and maintain the integrity of the ice. Both of us were perfectly comfortable seeing the game in shorts and T-shirts. Attending a hockey game down south was a much unusual experience than in the north.
