and return for the game make sure you get a receipt.

plan ahead and arrive EARLY if you are picking up tickets. Also plan extra time
to be processed through security to enter the career fair as all bags are subject to

plan to leave your coat in your car or to carry your coat with you.

permitted to bring in any food or beverages. However, the concessions stands
will be open and food and beverage will be available for purchase.
