Los Angeles Dodgers

#19 - Was super excited to go here. Went on Labor Day with Trudii for a game against the nationals. Roberto Hernandez v Gio Gonzalez. Gio was good. I think there was a total of 4 solo shots and the dodgers lost 6 to 4. Stadium locale was cool, built into the side of a hill in Chavez ravine. There was a parking option for 50 bucks, 15 standard, but zero tailgating in the enormous parking lots. This joint was built in the 60s and you could tell. Small concourses, large foul territory. Two jumbotrons that are in need of an upgrade. The sound from the PA system was also really bad. They had one major set of speakers in center that pushed volume back to the grandstand that kind of echoed. Only two real common areas that both over looked the bullpens in right and left field. Seats were cool, yellow modeled plastic not the composite stuff you're used to. I later learned that the seat color throughout the place was meant to follow the color of the sand and the ocean. Yellow on the lower levels and transitions to blue as you get to the upper decks. So there's that. Fanbase was super into the game and really engaged. Dodger dog was 5.50 and super small, not impressed. Had a good craft beer selection. Overall the dodgers have a super good brand, cool location, good fans; so it's unfortunate that they have such a subpar park. Seems like everyone embraces that though and they don't want change. I respect that, but it doesn't make it a good park. I'd rather go here than a place like Miami or Cincinnati, but I'm not sure how much of that is the team and not the stadium. Grade: C
