ECWS mil-spec long underwear.  For those of you with LLUIQ, ECWS = Extreme Cold Weather System.  Turtleneck and jeans over those, fleece vest over that, then a jean jacket.  Microfleece cap, wool gloves, Cabela's Gore-Tex boots.  I'm gonna be warm.
best advice in this thread, they don't call it the Canadian Tuxedo for nothing

if you're looking to achieve the most heating bang for your buck, just keep in mind that your body loses heat most rapidly through your head and through your feet.  Keep those insulated.  Also, in spite of the fact that heat rises, for some reason it's always warmer the closer you are to the field.  I suspect this is a result of the "bowl" effect of the stadium...trapping heat in.  Also you don't feel the wind as much the lower you are.

Also FWIW there was a study done a few years back which found that skin to skin contact was the best way to keep warm with others  :fatty:

How do thermal socks hold up?

I'm sure we've got some outdoorsy cats who have some info.

You talking the ones I posted or like the electric sock things?  The ones I posted keep me warm (enough) when I'm deer hunting in boots that weren't really made for cold weather deer hunting.
