Great impression to leave everyone.

I think it all depends on what level of ball I'm doing. If I'm working a middle school game, or at a site where i know a dressing room isn't available, I'll go dressed since I hate dressing in a public restroom. I think that looks even less professional than coming dressed.

This is one of those things that's going to vary by region, IMO. Let's not have such blanket assessments.
I couldn't agree more. If there's a question of getting my clothes soiled because I dressed at work and drove to the site as opposed to having to change in a school restroom, I'll change at work every time. I hate changing in a restroom. And then as I'm changing back into my street clothes after the game to watch the next game, that's usually when that loudmouth parent, Joe A$$hole, walks into the rest room. No thank you.
