So rain is in the forecast on a matchday and you're wondering: will the match be canceled? Well, much like our American football brethren, we play through the rain. So, if it's just rain in the forecast, don't cancel your plans. We're still kicking off.

BUT...

We have some useful tips for you if your matchday happens to be a rainy day.

Umbrellas are allowed! Just, be smart with them

You can use an umbrella on the walk from your car to the stadium and bring your umbrella into the stadium with you. You can even use it while standing in the concourse area. But, you cannot open your umbrella while in your seats.

Choose your outfit wisely

Have a sweet new suede or leather jacket? We'd recommend not wearing that. (Unless your leather has been treated with special protectant. Then you're all set, Fonzi). Also, avoid denim or cotton unless you want to absorb all of the water that falls on you for the entire night. Breathable rain jackets are always so in.

Layer, layer, layer

Wear a base layer. Then add a layer for warmth. Then add a layer to protect you from the rain. You can always add or subtract to your layers over the course of the night. Plus, you'll look fabulous in your layers.

Pack a Poncho!

Ponchos are a great way to protect yourself from the rain and they're a cheaper solution to buying new rain gear. (Although they aren't the most breathable, so take that into consideration). We don't sell ponchos on site, so if you want to go that route, make sure you get yours before coming to the match!

You could also just take an unused garbage bag, cut out holes for your arms and head, and BOOM...poncho.

Wear water-resistant shoes

Wet socks are the WORST. So please try and wear some solid shoes that will protect your feet and ensure you won't be walking uncomfortably all night.

Towels help

You are allowed to bring a small towel with you in order to wipe off your wet seat!

Clear plastic sandwich bags can protect your phone

The worst type of selfie is the one never taken because your phone stopped working. Keep your phone in a small plastic baggie and you won't have to worry about it getting ruined!

Hats are helpful

Keep your head dry with a nice hat. BONUS: you can buy a Phoenix Rising hat at the stadium, so you don't even need to bring one with you!
