Game Day Responsibilities at Tepper Field
THE DIVISION OF DUTIES FOR THE HOME AND AWAY TEAMS IS DIFFERENT AT TEPPER THAN AT ANY OTHER FIELD.
The switch to turn on the scoreboard is located inside the Snack Shack on the wall to the left of the refrigerator. You will need to pull the metal shelf out a little so you can reach in.
You should ask for 2 parent volunteers to man the announcer’s booth, 1 to announce and the other to operate the scoreboard.
PLEASE MAKE SURE TO LOCK UP AND TURN THE SCOREBOARD OFF IF YOU ARE THE LAST GAME OF THE DAY.
1. Runs the Snack Shack from the start of the game until the start of the next game. That means your volunteers will be staying at least 30 minutes past the end of the game to “feed” all the hungry ballplayers.
Remember that teams from both TI 2 and TI 3 will also be coming over after their games, too.
You will need at least 2 volunteers, 1 for inside and 1 person to grill. More detailed information follows and can also be found inside the Snack Shack for reference.
1. Line the garbage cans (trash liners are located on the bottom shelf to the right of the main counter) and put the large garbage cans out (one in front of the Snack Shack, one near the stairs leading to the announcer’s booth, and the two smaller ones by each bleacher). The wastepaper basket should be lined for use inside the Snack Shack.
2. Hang menu board outside to the left of window.
3. Move grill out front and prepare food items:
o Condiments are all in the refrigerator and should be placed to the right of the grill.
o Relish - put into small container
o Onions - needs to be chopped/sliced and put into small container
o Tomatoes - washed and sliced
o Lettuce - washed, dried, and separated
o Hot Dogs are in the refrigerator
o Hamburgers are in the freezer. They can be cooked from frozen.
o Hot Dog, Hamburger trays and napkins are to the right of the Snack Shack window.
When an order is placed, you can give the customer a hot dog tray (if appropriate) or a hamburger tray marked “H” for a hamburger order, “CB” for a cheeseburger along with a slice of cheese. The customer, or, if you have any kids working in the Shack with you, can run this over to the grill person. Usually, the grill will have some hot dogs and hamburgers already cooking on the grill. If that is the case, just the cheese in the tray will work for the cheeseburger orders.
If someone orders a vegetarian burger, get a patty from the freezer, place in a tray (with or without cheese) and give to the grill person to cook.
4. Open wood windows - front and side of shack.
5. All candy, gum and sunflower seeds are located in the small plastic containers under the counter.
6. Popcorn is located on the shelf next to the microwave.
7. Restock items as needed.
8. Extra propane tanks are stored in the white shed.
