Went to my first Dodger game of the season last night. Thankfully I did not serve as the usual bad luck charm and they came away with a win over the San Diego Padres and Adam Eaton who, up until last night, had the Dodgers number with a 1.something ERA over the previous 8 starts at Dodgertown.There have been a few alterations to the stadium, most notably the insane amount of adverts all over the place. None of which inspire me to get Adelphia cable, bank at US Bank or shop at Albertsons. Also there's a flicker bulb advert strip band that runs the length of the stadium just under the Loge Boxes, similar to what's in the Staples Center to those of you familiar with the set-up there. Seating wise there are new seats located behind the 1st and 3rd base lines into outfield. It seriously cuts into the foul ball area which depending on what side of the ball you're on can be either a good or a bad thing. A caller to Dodger Talk on KFWB 980 after the game said those new seats had a horrible sight line and are a complete waste of money...$80 worth of money if you're interested in finding out on your own. No thanks, I'll stick with my nice $17 Inner Reserve seats. And finally, the increase in parking fees to $10 per car.
Love you too McBankrupt. What? Advert revenue not paying all the bills?
Remember, if you do decide to go to a game, bring in a factory sealed bottle of water (under 1 liter) and your own bag of peanuts. Splurge on the yummy, buttery Wetzels pretzels and Dodger Dogs, sit back and enjoy California Baseball.
Think Blue.
