Dress code seems to be one of these.
I would never wear jeans to a game in my area, but wouldn't wear a dress either. We wear nice dress slacks and a nice shirt/blouse to most games. Also, it's da*m cold up here and at times we wear anything to keep warm.
But the point is; we need to look professional, have clean cloths, no matter where we live.

I wore a nice dress once to a game but that was after a long weekend, and I it was a call in game!!
Actually, our association asks that we dress "nice or professionally" for all of our games. That can mean a nice "wind suit" (I call them sweat suits, but what do I know) Not the terry cloth kind, but more of the team warm up kind. (I of course am not permitted to wear anything with my wife's school on it.) Or a button down shirt with khakis. I usually come from work, Jacket and Tie, so I am a little overdressed, but no one recognizes me!
Perception is reality. If your first impression on a coach/administrator is professional, that can go a long way in giving you the benefit of the doubt.
