1. Good boots with LOTS OF ROOM inside the toe area. A tight squeeze in the toes in a boot and you're going to be cold.
2. One pair of BIG FLUFFY SOCKS. The key is to have some space for air in there inside that sock so you have some insulation. People who wear too many socks get it all packed in there and ... no air = cold.
3. Hand or foot warmers tossed into your boot. Bring extra to replace them as needed.
Agreed, it's all about the right boots. A good pair is easily worth the investment. I also use a product called Warm Skin on my face for cold games. It takes the bite out of any wind.
One other piece of advice, not sure if you can get away with it at TCF (haven't tried myself), but if you can get a piece of cardboard in to put between your feet and the concrete while standing/sitting in your seats, it will help a lot.

Dress like you're going ice fishing...but in this case leave the blackberry brandy behind.
Lots of good info. Thanks everyone. I completely forgot about Mills Fleet Farm. I'll have to stop there to pick up some warmers and better socks.
Just a note that when picking up hand-toe warmers make sure the actual packet is flexible...not stiff. These things do get old that reduces effectiveness. If it's hard don't buy it.
Always best to pull from a brand new box full of warmers than the last few in an almost empty container.

Another chilly game coming up. Anyone have any glove or socks recommendations? I ended up having to get a 3rd pair of socks from the team store at halftime because my toes were FREEZING.
drink heavily, paint your face and go shirtless in the 4th quarter - you'll be fine
A lot of good suggestions here. Another thing that works for me is to take a hand warmer or body warmer and put it behind my neck, under you clothing.. This helps with keeping your "core" warm. At least it does for me.
I usually put a few hand warmers in my pants. It's like a fire down there.
