It seems to me that you dress at least business casual when going to your games. I know I do. In fact it's expected of me (not that it makes a difference btw), and I would bet it's expected of you. For sure you're expected to wear a suit when you represent the people who pay you IRL.

I know people that are 50 and they dress to varsity games as if they rolled out of bed an hour before the game. Allen Iverson did not come from the same background that I came from either. I would never have the tattoos and wear the things he does. I am also not a millionaire where my income is based on my image and I work in an entertainment industry either.

Well the teams pay them, not the league directly. So if a team wants to come up with a policy that requires I have no problem with that. Each team has a different culture and backgrounds at work. There is a different type of fan that attends Chicago Bulls games than attends the Phoenix Suns games. I think this should be a team issue, not a league issue. Once again, it is before and after the games. Even the Chicago Cubs has a different kind of fan than the Chicago White Sox.
Peace
