Football Weather, Tailgating, and WxFix
It’s that time of year, when the smell of BBQ and spilled beer wafts through the asphalt lots of stadiums around the country. Tailgating, if you listened to Frank Deford on NPR this AM, is America’s new form of picnicing. Instead of spreading a checkered blanket on a grassy meadow and serving sandwiches and potato salad out of a wicker basket, we spread our folding canopies, tables, and camp chairs out across cold asphalt, in the very time of year when most of us wouldn’t think of going picnicing in the traditional sense. But there we are, braving fall’s biting winds and worrying about the threat of rain, or later in the fall, some form of freezing precip, warmed only by the next guy’s trailered grill, or our little hibachi. And maybe by the thought of a victory by the home team.
So, why waste these precious moments of togetherness in a parking lot to unexpected weather, when you can drop a pin on the parking lot of your stadium (and/or on the field, too) and know in advance of and during your tailgate what weather mother nature intends to spring (fall?) on you right at the exact spot where you’re tailgating or enjoying the game. We all know football weather can be dicey and unpredictable. With WxFix you can all but eliminate the element of surprise and make football weather one less thing you have to worry about.
As for your favorite team and predicting what’ll happen in the game, sorry, we’ll have to work on that one.
