Do the Cowboys bring their own heaters, heated benches, etc, etc or are they provided by the Packers or the NFL?

I tell you what would be dirty pool. Green Bay provides heaters for their team and gives Dallas some old rickety wooden benches, and definitely no heater. Now that is a home field advantage if I ever heard of one.

The home team provides the heating equipment and they must provide the exact same equipment on both sides of the field. There are also some standards in place to prevent the home team from not putting any heating or cooling equipment on either side depending on weather conditions.

In other words, the Packers can't fore-go putting heating equipment on either sideline because they are used to the cold weather.

Not sure why they couldn't or wouldn't equip themselves by shipping the stuff or whatever. To make sure they had the best they could get.

Oh yeah, jerry has limited resources:(

Think about back in the 60's before all the gloves, and heaters, under armor stay dry stuff, etc. etc. 39 degree below zero and the dudes probably wore long johns they bought at the local sporting good store! Maybe they went all out and wore two pairs of socks that day!

The Cowboy players took to putting Saran Wrap on their feet to keep warm during the Ice Bowl.

Hi Tech indeed.

I hope Tony along with WR, TE, RB practice with "Frozen footballs" as well as Bailey kicking them. They are much harder and more slick than usual.
