Half way there...
15 down, 15 to go.
Last night marked the half way point on my quest to see all 30 major league baseball stadiums. Dodger Stadium was a great stop on this seemingly never ending journey of mine (4 new parks are set to open in the next 3 years).
Highlights and impressions:
- loved the old school pastel colors on the seats in the different levels
- thought it was awesome the way that this stadium was built into the side of a hill
- really enjoyed the tradition of the clean white/dodger blue uniforms that haven't changed in years
- Dodger Dogs are tasty but very overpriced
- the "THINK BLUE" sign reminiscent of HOLLYWOOD in the hills of Chavez Ravine is a nice touch
- fake flashbulbs around the stadium after a HR were tacky, but fitting with the LA crowd
- Randy Newman's "I love LA" playing after the game was a great way to cap off the win
- Dodger fans seem more blue collar and multi-racial than Angels fans (which gives them credibility in my books)
- getting in early for batting practice means being crammed into the small left field section
- the San Diego Padres are the bad guys !?!
- I think I very quickly find myself being a fan of this team
