@anotherparent posted:In the summer I was usually wherever there was shade. Stands, outfield with trees, or wedged under someone's portable tent. In all the years of all-star/travel baseball, we never bought one of those tents. Every year we talked about it, then didn't get around to it, then someone else had one.
If shade not an issue, then if fielding I was in the stands with the moms, if pitching in the outfield or down the RF line.
We had a 10' x 10' pop up we dragged to every game when Foxson played travel ball. We also use to pack a large cooler with drinks and snacks. By the time he was playing HS and Legion I quit bringing the pop up and large cooler. We'd only bring chairs and a small cooler. Maybe the pop up if it was a dreadfully hot and humid day. Brought cash to hit the concession stand. I simply got tired of dragging all that crap.
