That works great...unless you rode to the game with your partner.

All my officiating nightmares include forgetting an assignment, forgetting pants, shirt, or shoes, or arriving after the game has started. Seems fairly common.

I once forgot my pants for a basketball game and once forgot my shoes for a football game. A colleague covered the first game of the DH while I drove home and got the pants. My son brought me the shoes, just before kickoff. So I've been fortunate thus far.

Time to pack my football bag for Friday's third rounder. Hope I don't forget anything!

I usually keep a bag in the trunk of the car with a complete uniform...usually my oldest items. I put it in there at the start of the season and it will be there should I ever need it (and I drove).

On 2-3 occasions, it has come in handy...in some cases for the benefit of my partner.
