Wear a hat for one. And not one of those wool hats(lots of logo hats for teams are made of wool). Wear one that breathes. You'll lose a lot of heat through your head so don't trap it in. Drink plenty of water. Long sleeve Columbia shirts (even the short sleeve ones) kick the crap out of Under Armour as far as staying cool. Is like going shirtless in the shade all day long. Took me a while to wear long sleeve shirt (even the Columbia ones). But once I did...WOW!! Short sleeve ones are cooler and for a small duration like a game should be better. But long term outdoor expose I'd go long sleeves all day. Heat is only part of the battle. The sun is the other part you're battling. Block out the sun with breathable hat and one of those shirts, you're now just dealing with the heat. At that point, you'd be surprised just how easy it is. Now like one person said above, yes being acclimated will help a lot too. That's a bigge. But take my advice and give it a shot.


I've spent 10 years landscaping in Florida. That was my trick. ( or rather everyone's trick).
