Ste. Genevieve, Missouri - Here is the information received about the location, directions, parking restrooms, and admission fees.

Two Options: Get off at Exit 143, take a right off the exit ramp and an immediate left on Route M. This road will lead you to town, but it is a bit curvy and hilly. The field will be on the left as you begin to enter town behind the football field.

Other option: Take Exit 150, and take a right off the ramp onto Hwy 32. Take 32 into town until you come to the first stop light and hang a right. You will pass McDonalds on your right and come to another stop light, take a right. The field will be about a quarter mile down the road. The road you take veers or forks off to the right.

Parking: There is a large paved lot above the baseball field where most will park. There is limited parking down in the gravel lot closer to the field.

Restrooms: The restrooms of the football fieldhouse/locker room will be open. They are big, but they are about 100 yards away from the field. There will also be Johnny-on-the-spots above the left field line to use (usually for the gentlemen and usually for the players).

Umpires: Clark Parrot, Others TBD

Admission: $6 ages 6 and up. Pass lists will be at the gate for both teams as provided on MSHSAA website

Seating: There are limited bleachers behind home plate (4 sets, 6-8 rows each). Most fans sit on the hill down the first base line, so encourage fans to bring lawn chairs if they can not get a seat in the bleachers.

Infield/Outfield: The home team should take infield around 4:05, the visiting team around 4:15. National Anthem at 4:25, first pitch 4:30. We will flip for home and away upon arrival so we are all aware and so we can change the scoreboard panels if need be.

Please feel free to share any of this with fans traveling on Wednesday.   #GOMULES!!
