LA kind of game

I hadn't been to Dodger Stadium for 35 years. But it seems to me the place never changes. And that is a compliment.

The Dodgers beat the Tigers, 6-4. But that seems also insignificant compared to everything else that goes on at this palace.

Granted, it is not the easiest place in the world to get to. The best I can figure it, there are only two ways into the place ... and one way out. It is advisable to have a GPS system that can guide you around the inevitable LA road construction projects to get you there.

Once you figure out how to get in, though, it is worth the effort. The ballpark is 48 years old and looks as fresh as it did in 1962. The seats are comfortable, the sightlines are great and the music does not offense anybody's sensibilities. It is as easy ballpark to walk around as I have ever been in and the p.a. announcer doesn't sound like he is auditioning to be the next announcer for "The Price Is Right."

It's not perfect. There is a bit too much Dodger Blue for my taste and some of the prices are ... well ... high.

But if you want to go to a ballpark where the game seems to be the most important thing going, this is your place.
