full range.  dress light with layers, bring stuff to stay warm and dry. 
Plan on the possibility of every imaginable form of weather, you might
see it.

> - cooler with drinks/lunch? or concession stands?

Food is available, but I think it is nicer to have a cooler with some
personal favorites packed.  The coffee there is pretty bad, the burgers
are ok.

> - lawn chairs?

Yes.

> - earplugs?

Yes.  if you spend much time near the takeoff point, you will be glad
you have them if you like to go easy on your ears.  Over the head types
might be nicer even tho' clumsier, since they are easy to pull off for
the 90% of the time that it is not loud.
