Although Plaschke's article in the Times irked a lot of Dodgers fans, I agreed with it 100%. Having gone to both Angel Stadium and Dodger Stadium several times in the past year, there is absolutely no comparison between the two. The surrounding area is prettier at Dodger Stadium, but as for the stadiums themselves, I cannot think of a single advantage Dodger Stadium has over Angel Stadium.
Well.........
I'd say from a historic standpoint, you get a sense that you are in a vintage ballpark at DS. Whereas, in Anaheim you feel like you are in an old ballpark with an extreme makeover. That, for one, is a plus in my mind.
I also could do without the Disney-like rocks in CF.
I could go on, but I sense that your mind is already made up :)
Hey, that doesn't mean I won't listen... I'm not that guy.
Seriously, though, 15 years ago I would have agreed with you about the "vintage ballpark" feel of DS. That is all gone for me now. The park was blissfully free of advertisments. The outfield walls were covered with murals of former Dodger greats, not ads that make it look like a minor league park. There were no flashing neon lights.
I admit I am probably biased based on how much I used to like the park compared to what it looks like now. Angels Stadium may be hokey, but I like that better than what Dodger Stadium has become.
Fair enough.
I certainly think the Dodgers need to learn a lesson in how to allow fans to move around the park. At AS, you can move around the entire thing with any ticket. You cannot move from the bleachers to the stands at DS. Not cool.
