We will also need several openers between 4-5 hours before kickoff that will do initial startup, walkthrough, inventory…    If you are arriving early to help with initial opening then please enter OPENING in the signup comment field.

We need everyone that signs up to show up and be the expected time unless otherwise arranged ahead of time.
