    Or you could wear one of those leopard-print hats Leslie Visser likes to wear to games.

    The rules I try to adhere to in any press box or on press row... (I'm sure I've broken them a few times...)

    No shorts.
    No sneakers.
    No jeans.
    No sandals.
    No T-shirts.

    I know some great writers who dress like shit and that's their prerogative... Martin Fennelly immediately jumps to mind. If memory serves, a few years ago he was wearing a T-shirt, shorts and Birks at the Super Bowl...

    If you're at that level, you can probably do what you want. If you want to be taken seriously, wear slacks and a polo shirt...

    I'm someone who pulls off dressed-up a lot better than he does casual. So I like to wear a shirt, tie, dress pants and dress shoes, particularly for games (college, not NFL, but I'd do the same if it were the NFL).

    Wondering why ties are always fodder for the pack to poke fun at a fellow writer ... we're professionals, right? Why do we rebel against that when it comes to clothing?

    I guess I'm a bit of a nerd and/or really cool when it comes to this stuff. I think old photos of guys like Sinatra, Cary Grant, etc. without a thread out of place are awesome (and not in a gay way!).

    Anyway ... I'd go with a tie.

    One more important thing - when you dress up, you'll go up in class at least a level or two when it comes to which ladies are giving you the once over.

    Now that may be as far as it goes, but at least you make a strong first impression, at least they give you a chance out of the gate.

    Just remember not to show off the tats and pierced nipple(s), tongue, etc. until it's time to make a second impression away from the stadium.
