Nah! I enjoy it too much! Can't wait until next season. Maybe I'll get a lockeroom!

For the record, you weren't called unprofessional. It was just stated as a fact that in some areas of the country, showing up dressed is viewed that way. In other areas, that's obviously not the case. I know in Des Moines, I would show up to some games dressed, depending on the locker room at that particular school. However, we always got locker rooms at the high school level (and most middle school games as well), even if I only used it to change shoes and drink water. No one would know if I was dressed or not, because I'd have a coat on anyway.

That said, I prefer to go in "civies" and change at the school. It allows me to go straight from work, and it's nice to be able to stop after the game without being a big striped target.
