Yes we come dressed except for putting on our shirts since there is no dressing room available. We either stay on the field or go to our car at half-time.

Sure, we don't have a nice dressing room with shower, etc. but we do have the small town football atmosphere. Give me the small schools any day.
Sounds like six man football out in Texas. I had one game out in the sticks where I overheard the following before the game: "Oh hey, let me go get the score board."

Sure enough, the AD parked a pickup near the field with a scoreboard in the bed. The best part of it was when the quarter ended, the truck's horn went off.
