Packing notes

Northern Illinois springs start cold and windy: bring layers, rain gear and blankets for early games.
Summer afternoons get hot and humid; bring a canopy or other shade, sunscreen and plenty of water.
The diamonds have dirt infields, so pack a towel and a spare pair of socks for wet mornings.
