Join us in serving at the Dirty Franks station at Columbus Crew games! For every volunteer who serves at a game, Dirty Franks will donate $140 to the YMCA. General Info: Each shift lasts between 5-6 hours. We are done once the game is over and the stand has been cleaned. Some days this goes very quickly, some days it takes a bit longer. Please don't bring anything that isn't absolutely necessary. Bags are permitted, but not encouraged. They may be no larger than 5x8x1 and are subject to search by stadium security. Dirty Frank's is not responsible for lost or stolen items. All staff entry and exit is at the Northwest corner of the stadium. On Google Maps, this is the entrance located at the corner of Columbus Crew Way and Nordecke Dr. Staff will not be granted entry at any other gate. The parking shuttle drops off and picks up at this gate. Upon arrival, there will be a table set up at the Northwest Gate where a Levy staffer will check you in. Let them know you're working for Dirty Frank's and your name. Our stand is located in the South East corner of the stadium, by sections 142 & 143. Parking: We have attached a document in your credential process that explains, step by step, how to get free parking for the game and where to meet the shuttle that will take you to and from the stadium. Please follow the instructions in order. Doing them out of order will result in you being charged to park. Reference the attached map to see where the shuttle will pick up and drop off each game. The shuttle runs continuously before and after the game. You may have to wait a few minutes for it to complete the circuit to the stadium and back to the garage. Picks up: Next to the neon “PARK” sign on west side of garage (see next slide) Drop Off: Northwest Gate Shuttle Departure: Pickup: Northwest Gate Drop Off: Corner of Marconi and West St. Dress Code: Dirty Frank's will provide you with a hat to wear during your shift. Everyone must wear either a hat or a hair net. If you have a plain black hat or a Dirty Frank's hat, you can wear that. Hats cannot have logos/emblems/designs on them. If you have a Crew hat you want to wear, it must be the current logo (the "C" crest). Please wear a plain, black shirt to this shift. It can be short sleeves or long sleeves, provided it is black w/no logos or adornments. It cannot be sleeveless. If you have a Dirty Frank's shirt from previous shifts, please wear that. If you want to layer your clothes due to weather, that is fine provided the Dirty Frank's shirt is the top layer. If you have an undershirt with long sleeves, it must be either white or black with no logos/emblems/designs. Coats are permitted for cold weather matches, provided they are a solid color with no logos/emblems/designs. Black or grey coats are preferred. Pants must be solid black slacks.
