Packing notes

Kansas City summers are hot and humid: each quad has permanent shade structures (JCPRD), but bring extra shade, sunscreen and plenty of water.
Spring and fall storms can roll in quickly and mornings can start cool; keep rain gear and a layer in the car.
All twelve fields are synthetic turf (JCPRD), so pack turf shoes and expect the turf to run hot in the afternoon sun.
Fields 21-32 are here; Fields 1-10 and Royal/Fenway are at the neighboring Mid-America Sports Complex (20000 Johnson Drive), so check your field number before you park.
