No workout attire, gym/tennis shoes, shorts, flip-flops or hats on gentlemen other than religious head coverings. Outerwear and bags are checked at entry.
Are these events kid-friendly?
You are welcome to use your discretion, considering the venue and your children's ages. While it’s not common for a large number of children to attend, they are welcome.
Can I expect to see Davidson staff at these events?
