We never have a place to change in the small schools, so we dress ready to do the game. When we get there we decide long or short sleeves, otherwise we are ready to go. When my old crew did a state championship game, we dressed in coat and tie since we were at the Fargo Dome and they had great dressing rooms. At most of the small schools we have nowhere to go at half-time except our vehicle. As a general rule, I have found that schools don't go out of their way for officials. When I was a school administrator, I made sure that I met the officials when they arrived and showed them to the dressing room (basketball) and in all sports I made sure they had beverages during the game and also a sandwich or more for the ride home. A little bit of extra care goes a long way with officials.
