What to bring – things to consider:
– Dress for the weather! A spare light jacket, umbrella, sun hat, sunscreen, sunglasses, or light sweater are all worth considering.
– Concessions (food, drinks) are available for a fee, so you may wish to bring cash. Credit cards are also accepted.
– A seat cushion or spare towel for extra seat comfort.
– IF YOU CHOOSE TO PLAY THE PRE-GAME WITH SPECIAL OLYMPICS AND THE DREAM TEAM: You may wish to wear your own baseball/softball “uniform” which can be anything that shows your team spirit: Your favorite team’s colors (Go Blue!) or maybe your favorite logo (Special Olympics? Dream Team? Arts for All? Or something else?).
