OK, you're going to have to talk to your staff. You need a place to break. They're putting your safety at risk. Heat sickness is a real threat which can lead to death (I got it ONCE at the start of my career in '99, never again). They can at least use paper to block off a window or two on game days. You may be able to find a spot somewhere in the ballpark. My first baseball gig I was in the electrical closet! Sounds likes your park is small, but check if concessions has a walk in cooler. That's a great break place.

A lycra hoodie would be the quickest way to hide your neck (and keep your hair up), but I'm not finding an easy source. Wig caps work well for me, but usually tear. There are plenty of sports skull caps available, just look on amazon.

Sweat...I have one guy who swears by long sleeve under armor (or any moister wicking material). I tried it once and felt it made all the sweat drip off me and pool into the hands/feet. So I just go with plain old t-shirts. I put on a dry one every break.

Fans in the head don't work. Ice packs melt and add another heat trapping layer. A Kold Kollar might help a little, possibly while you break rather than while in costume.

Hydrate yes. I've found electrolyte pills (with potassium) help me a little during the really hot days (the potassium helps with post game cramping).

But yeah, you need a little corner to yourself where you can change shirts during breaks, take at least the top of the costume off, and be near a fan. Make friends with the stadium ops people and see what you can find. Good luck!

How far or long are you running/swimming? Your body gets used to your regular workout, so try going longer and constantly mixing it up. If you are in suit for an hour set, but have only been doing cardio for 30 min, you'll really feel it at the end. My coaches always recommended we do practice races for twice as far as our actual race to avoid 2nd half fatigue.

There was an interview with Brian Steele (creatureboy) I think it was in the documentary Men in Suits, where he talked about his schedule of swimming and running. One thing he said stuck out to me, that when he did his running on the treadmill he wrapped a wet towel around his face to simulate the difficulty of breathing in suit and strengthen his lungs. I've never tried it because I do road and trail running and it isn't feasible, but always thought it might be interesting to try on a treadmill.

I combine biking to work with running, and occasionally train for a triathlon, but still get tired during games.
