A Fan's Guide to the Game

Strong pitching and an improved lineup are the ingredients the Los Angeles Dodgers feel are in place to make a playoff run this season. Any Dodgers fan headed out for a game at Dodger Stadium should take a look at our "Fan's Guide to the Game" below.

Baseball has been as much a part of Los Angeles as sunshine and summer days since the Dodgers left Brooklyn for their West Coast home back in 1958. Fans are welcomed to Dodger Stadium with parking for 16,000, a forest of trees and a wonderfully kept exterior appearance. Views from inside the stadium include downtown Los Angeles to the south, the green, tree-lined landscape of the Elysian hills to the north and east, and the San Gabriel Mountains beyond.

Inside, spectators are welcomed to a wonderfully kept monument to West Coast baseball history. You won't find a cleaner park in the League. Dodger Stadium is as red, white and blue as the nation's great Stars and Stripes flag, and what could be more American than a fun-filled day at the park experiencing America's Pastime?

It's not the flashiest stadium in the league, but it serves its purpose well. That purpose is housing baseball spectators and ensuring clean sightlines to the action from every angle. Dodger Stadium takes care of its players as well. A state-of-the-art playing surface takes the perfect field even further. They seem to add a little more than a fresh coat of paint each year to keep the Stadium up to par with the rest of the league. In 2003 a new scoreboard was added to enhance the experience of taking in a game.

No game at Dodger Stadium is complete without a foot-long Dodger Dog. Be sure to grab a frosty beverage to wash it down with. Some might argue that having a cold beer in one hand and a hot Dodger Dog in the other, while watching a game at Dodger Stadium as the sun sets, is as close to Paradise as it gets.

You won't be alone taking in the smell of fresh cut grass, soaking up some California rays and enjoying a cold brew; Dodger fans have been filling up this Stadium since opening day back in '62. LA loves its baseball team and there's no sign of that changing anytime soon.

Great fans, a solid team, and a wonderful setting await your attendance at Dodger Stadium, so grab some of your buddies, get your Los Angeles Dodgers tickets and find your rightful place at a Dodgers game this season!
