Volunteer parking will be in Green Lot. Volunteers enter the lot via Gate 13 (8499 Lantern Point Drive). After parking, utilize the pedestrian bridge to cross over Kirby Drive. This bridge will put you on the south side of the stadium. Then use the Ford entrance to access the building. Parking is free. Report to the Upper Level near Ford and Xfinity.
You will not be packing the meals. However, you will help keep things in order as you serve as team leaders, table captains, ingredient runners, box runners, registration and on the directional team.
There will be a brief training the day of the event. Volunteers will also be able to view a training online prior to arriving to NRG.
Volunteers do not need to bring anything to training such as purses or backpacks.
