Packing notes

South Louisiana is hot and humid much of the year: bring a canopy or other shade, sunscreen and plenty of water.
Pop-up afternoon storms are common 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.
