Packing notes

North Louisiana summers are hot and humid, with strong sun on open fields: bring a canopy or other shade, sunscreen and plenty of water.
Afternoon thunderstorms can pop up quickly in summer; keep rain gear in the car, and bug spray helps on warm evenings.
Turf surfaces get especially hot on sunny afternoons; bring extra water and something to sit on between games.
