Making another trip to Dodger Stadium

My opinion of Dodger Stadium hasn't changed. It's a bad stadium with awful food, crappy beer, and nothing fun like a kids' play area or garden bar. But I do love baseball and it is my home stadium. And my Phillies were in town. Of course they are playing awful baseball this year. Still I went. I decided to try something new and got a seat in the front row of left field.

The seat was kind of cool. I was right next to the Dodger bullpen and could look in any time I wanted. I was also right above the very low left field wall. I can't find the height but I think it's under 6 feet high. Theoretically there'd be balls hit almost right at me. Unfortunately there was only one ball hit to left field all night and it was nowhere near the wall. The view is a little far from the plate. So if there are no balls hit there it's not a great spot.

One more note about Dodger Stadium. Yes, the food and beer are awful. No, they don't have a Dodger Hall of Fame Museum, Kids' play area, or fun mascot. You don't get to sing "Thank God I'm a Country Boy" in the 7th inning. But I do keep going back. As bad as everything off the field is, you are outside where it's not too hot, you do get a good view of the game, and I can get there fairly easily by Metro. If I lived in Tampa I'd probably go back to Tropicana Field. I don't and I won't. That place is a monstrosity.
