I have to comment on this thread. Despite some of the arrogance being tossed around, it is true coming to a ballgame dressed IS an indication of your attitude MOST times. I have officiated softball for several years, and whe I am forced to do slowpitch leagues, I have to wear a uniform to the field because there are no facilites at the field. When I do this I feel like a second rate bum off the street. When I'm doing tournaments where there is an umpre room or facilites, I ALWAYS use them. SO far, I have had to come to the field dressed for football games,and have had to go to one basketball game dressed. It is DEFINITELY more professional to get to the locker room, dress, pregame and get to know your partner if you dont already. I understand that sometimes time and facilities are an issues, but if you can get dressed at the site, try it. Some organizations mandate dress for varsity officials, and that is a good thing
