LA Dodgers - Stadium #2

 

After a slight mishap on my part, I ended up paying for parking twice, but I did pick two different lots.  Navigating the lot was a bit tricky and definitely required the help of all of the workers to guide us.  We ended up parking about 3 stalls from the entrance of the stadium which was really nice.  Looking 180 degrees from the front of the stadium is a view of Los Angeles and at night it was gorgeous! Right when you enter the stadium, you’re on the 3rd level and can see the whole field from the concourse.  The concourse itself seemed fairly large in terms of not feeling crowded.  Going down a level, there was a kid’s area…a small kid’s area.  There wasn’t a lot to do so Jake seemed to get bored of it quickly. Our seats weren’t that bad view wise, however, out of our 3 seats, 2 of them were definitely broken which made it difficult to sit.  The view out of the back of the stadium as the sun went down was splendid.  Even though the view was just a hill, it made you feel like you were away from the busy city and just there to enjoy baseball. On my quest for a hot dog, we found ourselves at a grab and go style stand.  Dogs, fries and prefilled souvenir cups were all set out to just grab and take to a cashier.  It was pretty handy.  So ‘Dodger Dogs’ are supposed to be a pretty big deal, my son even got a plush of the Dodger Dog.  Don’t come for me, but the hot dog wasn’t all that great.  I liked how it seemed like it was grilled vs just steamed, but that’s about it.  It was on the thinner side and much longer than the bun.  The flavor was rather bland and I couldn’t tell what type of “meat” they put in it.  I prefer Oscar Mayer over this one. The Dodgers played the Athletics on August 2, 2023 at 7:10 pm and we sat in section 8 RS, row R.  The price I paid for the tickets to this game was $43 and it seemed pretty inexpensive from what I was assuming it would be.  I’m unsure if they have dynamic pricing, but if they do, I assume the Athletics wouldn’t draw much of a crowd so that’s why they were so cheap.
