…after sub-zero playoff game, hospital confirms

Damn. I likes me some football, but something like that might take some of the joy out of it. I’m guessing that battery powered mittons and shoe warmers might be something good to invest in if you were any kind of vendor at Arrowhead Stadium.

Several fans at a Kansas City Chiefs’ playoff game in January have since lost extremities as a result of frostbite suffered during the wild-card match-up, which took place on a day so cold it nearly made history.


Employees at Missouri’s*Research Medical Center confirmed to The Associated Press Friday that they’ve already had to perform amputations on 12 of the dozens affected during the roughly two-week period of frigid weather. The majority of those amputations have involved fingers and toes.


The hospital says it anticipates additional surgeries within the next month as those “injuries evolve.”


Some of those needing amputations were in attendance when the Chiefs beat the Miami Dolphins on Jan. 13, supporting the teams in minus 4 degrees Fahrenheit, with wind gusts that made for a chill of minus 27 degrees.
