FOXBOROUGH, Mass. —

Sunday will be a big day for New Englanders, with the Patriots in the AFC Championship Game against the Denver Broncos and a forecast that features anywhere between one and two feet of snow.

For Patriots fans attending the game at Mile High Stadium, getting there isn’t the problem; it’s getting home that’s a little dicey.

“[It] could be a little rocky road on the way back, but nothing we are not used to going out west,” said Keith Hooley.

The Carver resident has booked and will be boarding his flight to Denver on a trip with his friends that will feature skiing and, of course, a Patriots watch party.

“We fly out midday Monday, so we get back here in time for it all to be gone. If not, we have a ‘Plan B’ (to) stay later if we have to,” he said.

Both United Airlines and Southwest Airlines have afternoon flights out to Denver from Boston on Thursday.

“It is New England, so we have to expect it once in a while,” one Patriots fan said. “Bound to happen, go Pats.”

Airlines are expected to be flexible amid the nationwide storm.
