At The Big Phone is the municipality by a body of water, one can stroll the concourse with a ticket (club level remains restricted). On my last visit to watch the Dodgers, I witnessed several fights, and drunken Gnats fans roaming the stadium looking for more fights.<br /><br />Frankly, I was a bit concerned for my well being.<br /><br />Dodger Stadium doesn't allow roaming for just this reason; fans should come and watch the game, not wander. As for every other salient point, I mostly agree. As DB, Stubbs, and even Sax can tell you, supporters of Premier League football clubs have watched as big money owners (most of them American) have come in, spent mounds of cash, and made going to matches a near impossibility, raising ticket prices and catering to the most wealthy and corporate supporters.<br /><br />It's a shame, but the NFL and NBA have been heading this direction for the last 20 years. Enjoy your Blue up close while you can, because enjoying from a distance will be your only option in less than 5 years.<br /><br /><br />Still, we'll have it better than fans of the Lost Angels of Midway City.rbnlawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08192692349456006520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36360371.post-86662257330606203272014-03-10T10:24:34.371-07:002014-03-10T10:24:34.371-07:00In cricket, the captain is totally in charge on th...In cricket, the captain is totally in charge on the field, like a player-manager. That would be what they're inquiring about in their question to AJ. I rather hope they get to see the two managers come out and start arguing with the refs, and maybe get ejected, so they can see the hidden so-called "brains" of the team in one of baseball's uncouth ways. It just ain't cricket!berkowit28https://www.blogger.com/profile/08194317697552106140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36360371.post-12317811892562995872014-03-10T09:55:12.165-07:002014-03-10T09:55:12.165-07:00Agree...

A business savvy group saw an opportunity at a old weak baseball franchise in a huge market place. An old run down legacy of days past struggling to stay afloat. Money bought the Dodgers and the franchise was bought to make more money, period! We as fan will make irrational decisions in over spending money towards the support of the Dodgers and the owners will walk to the bank with a big smile.<br /><br />GO DODGERS!<br /><br />#ineedmydodgers Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14505509462363033380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36360371.post-34074589292160329352014-03-10T09:48:13.115-07:002014-03-10T09:48:13.115-07:00good stuff, Orel!good stuff, Orel!Fred's Brimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06689859663838105360noreply@blogger.com
