Does anyone know what the rules are for a game during the week?

I was there a few times in the late 90s for games and would hang out in the Olympia Room during intermissions. Didn't seem like a very formal dress code to me. A lot of white collar guys at the game after work in dress shirts and ties and also others more casually dressed. Maybe things have changed though. Hope this helps.

If you're a man, oxford cloth button down and khaki pants. Tie askew.

If you're a lady, a thong.

I agree with 56packman here! It's a casual place but dress up a little bit if you want some measure of respect and possibly better service here. I'd shoot for Friday business casual.

The Olympia Club used to be "no jeans," but I think they have relaxed this policy somewhat.
If you're wearing jeans, I'd suggest you throw on a blazer and a button-down. No tennis shoes.

They repealed the weekday mandatory jeans rule this season. It is now a free for all. Most people still wear slacks, but you shouldn't feel out of place in jeans.

Now jean shorts and a tank top on the other hand.......
