Many watching Kansas City Chiefs play in freezing cold now paying the price

Some Chiefs fans who went to a freezing cold playoff game are now scheduling amputation surgeries.

The Grossman Burn Center at Research Medical in Kansas City says that 70% of those who came in with frostbite burns in January are now being encouraged to schedule amputations.

Many of these patients are Chiefs fans who attended a January playoff game against the Miami Dolphins...the fourth-coldest game in NFL history. Temperatures reached -4 degrees.

One patient removed a glove for just five minutes to set up a tent.

The 30% who do not need amputations are still undergoing treatment, and may be more prone to frostbite in the future.
