How is everyone staying cool?

[emmitt01]

I know (or hope) that everyone will be drinking lots of water to go with your other beverages.  What else is everyone doing to make tailgating bearable?  
 

I am considering some of the bucket top misting fans, but don’t know enough about them to drop several hundred dollars if they won’t be an all-day solution.

At the Ranger games they have buckets of ice water for you to drench your towel in and drape it on the back and around your neck. Wish they could have ice bins and cooling houses Around the stadium.

The Parker county peach festival had drop zones for people to cool down. Don’t think this can happen in DATCU but the ice bath zones would be helpful. 

Just a note, people drop like flys waiting to get into Globe Life Field in game days. Medical dispatched often, during these summer games.  In our stadium medical might be on overdrive. We need to check on each other and make sure everyone is fully hydrated and okay throughout the 3 hour event. Including the Green Brigade. 

But once again bring your crazy into DATCU Cal ain’t gonna know what hit them.

Rotating between water, Gatorade, Pedialyte, and light beer (keeping to a minimum this first week) in the parking lot. During the game, I am only drinking Water or Powerade. If I am too miserable, I will leave during the 2nd half and watch at a bar.

They were handing out those towels you soak and wrap around your head at the soccer game last weekend. I plan to bring that, too. There's another game tonight if you want one.

Brand that towel. We have 1-2 more summer games left!

UNT American!

Kobalt bucket fan works great. At low speed the charge is supposed to last 6 hours.

I have a bucket misting fan. It's battery powered and will last a couple hours. I already had a couple of the same battery packs.

It can pump out of the bucket or water supply hose.

JM said they’d have water stations available. We’ll be allowed to bring in one bottle of water, too.

I do not think so.

Instead of the tie, I will be using one of those cooling towels, bringing in my own water bottle that will be frozen and will bring some hydration/electrolyte packets to mix in.  Cooler of beer in the truck for the post game celebration.

Bar hopping on the Square where there is A/C.

You could try rigging up a deer feeder solar panel to mist bucket.

What's it like and is it worth the extra $$$?

[untcampbell]

Good food, the AC works and so does the heat when its cold outside. So yes, worth the money. That said, I prefer my seats downstairs where getting noisy happens. I go up for a beverage and some grub at halftime.

What about a much larger towel that I soak and wrap around my waist? Sun shirt, big wet towel, umbrella hat, pair of flippy floppies...

Hey, I’d rather drink in comfort and show up to the game refreshed than sweat my ass off in the blazing Sun. Plus, it helps keep the ladies happy.
