Please wear comfortable shoes. Pointed heels may cause unbalanced walking on the field. You are encouraged to wear wedged or flat shoes. The turf field will likely be 10-15 degrees warmer than the temperature of the ambient air. Temperature highs are expected to be in the 80s, so we encourage you to wear lightweight clothing under gowns due to the elevated temperatures.
