If you aren't rucking in, any of the three-day assault packs should do.
Some have aluminum stays, most are adjustable and removable.
If you were going to be humping a ruck continuously, I would recommend onre of the smaller Kifarus, but it is hard to justify that expense for a one time use.
Eagle, Camelbak, and Tactical Tailor (not sure on price) all make good, small, three-day packs most just over $100. The BlackHawk is about the same price, but the quality is very spotty.
Not critical, unless you are going to have to use the ruck to move out, rather than just to keep things together from the bus to the bleachers and back every day.
