Dodger Stadium

We took the short drive from San Diego and needed to catch the afternoon game in Dodger Stadium.  We stopped at an In-n-out on the way for a Double-Double brunch.  Even on a Saturday late morning traffic was quite heavy in spots.  We arrived at Dodger Stadium about an hour before game time.  We looked through the Dodger Store at the top of the stadium looking for a sweatshirt or hoodie for Tina, but unfortunately didn't find anything to our liking. 

Dodger Stadium is now the third oldest Major League stadium.  It still looks and feels the same as it did when I first visited in 1987, which is a good thing.  It doesn't have all the amusement park activities and attractions as many of the newer stadiums, but it still is a fantastic place to watch a game - especially for die-hard Dodger Fans like us.  It was a beautiful sunny, warm day.  We left our seats that were in the shade of the Loge section for some seats in the sun and just sat and watched the game and enjoyed the Southern California sunshine.  The stadium was not nearly sold out even for a Dodgers-Angels game, which really surprised us.  We left right after the game and didn't have too much trouble getting out of the stadium onto the freeways.
