PERSONAL ITEMS AT THE STADIUM
PERSONAL ITEMS AT THE STADIUM
Personal items will be brought to the stadium in the support car. There is limited space in the car so only bring items you need during the game. Other items can be left in your band locker or with a family member.
What to bring:
• Full reusable water bottle - Water to refill bottles and cups will be available on the field.
• Funds for concessions (if desired)
• Snacks- Non-fragile snacks in stackable containers can go in the support car. If you want to bring something fragile (bread, cake, chips) please ask a family member or friend to deliver it to the field.
• Blankets – Later in the season games may be cold, so a blanket is a great idea.
