TL;DR Summary

Some attendees of the frigid Kansas City Chiefs playoff game in January had to undergo amputations, with a hospital confirming that some of the 12 people who had amputations had been at the game. The game against the Miami Dolphins had a temperature of minus 4 degrees Fahrenheit and windchill of minus 27 degrees F, shattering the stadium's record. The University of Kansas hospital also treated frostbite victims but didn't report any amputations. The game went on as scheduled despite the dangerous cold, unlike the Buffalo Bills' game, which was postponed due to a snowstorm.
