Several months before my brothers and best friend voyaged out to Dodger Stadium, there had been a couple of violent, arrest warranting fights between fans. Baseball fans are a unique bunch, and while it wasn't something we were concerned about, it was something we were aware of. After touring Los Angeles and getting a bite at Phillipe's Originals, an outstanding and nostalgic place that is credited with original French Dip sandwich, we decided to walk to the ballpark. It was a nice day, and we could walk around for a couple of hours before the gates opened and enjoy the scenery.
Dodger Stadium is a great place to watch baseball, and there are several fun things to do while one is there. However, it would have been nice to know that in order to check out the outfield bleachers, one must have outfield bleacher seats. So as fans, be aware of Dodger Stadium's parking lot gate opening, and being confined to your seats if you're a picture taking fan. Also worth noting, US Cellular Field also confines you to the upper deck if that's where your tickets are. But I was able to talk to the fine staff in order to get pictures for my website, and once you get to the main pavilion on the ground level, you're able to explore the rest of the ball park or walk around the outfield. And finally, Chicago's Wrigley Field has bleacher seats and main stadium seats that are disconnected like Dodger Stadium, so exploring both in one visit requires both types of tickets.
The atmosphere at Wrigley Field made it such that we had to go to two games to enjoy both.
