HSM Adventures: Dodger Stadium Tour

Dodger Stadium has a tour and since Sean is a huge baseball fan, I'm surprised it has taken us this long to go on the tour!

I've only been to a couple of stadiums before (really only Fenway, Angels and Dodgers). Dodger's Stadium is in a pretty cool location. It sits on the top of hill near downtown which results in an awesome view. It's also built into the hill so the stadium actually sits below the parking level. It looks like its in a sunken hole.

The tour was pretty good and I would recommend it to anyone interested in baseball. Because of the uniqueness of the location, there are only 2 elevators in the entire stadium (which everyone uses, from off the street fans to the actual baseball players to the top CEOs). You can also park anywhere at the sight and walk right in to your seat. Our tour started at the very top parking lot where we were literally at the top of the park.

Surprisingly decent leg room for the top seats.

Some highlights of the tour included going into the visitor's clubhouse. Technically it is the "old" visitors clubhouse because they just recently put in a new one (I think last year) but all the current players have been to this one so it was cool walking where the Greats have walked. It's also the only place in the entire stadium that is from the original constriction (aka NO updates since the 60s). Another highlight was going to the dugout. We were able to walk out to the field but were told we couldn't walk on the grass. We could touch it though. Sitting in the dugout was pretty cool. You realized how big the stadium was.

Visitor's clubhouse (the old one) which hasnt been updated at all since the park opened.

I can't imagine what it would be like to stand here with a sold out stadium.

We also got to go inside the press box. In newer stadiums the press boxes are located in undesirable locations because they want to give the best locations to high paying patrons. Not at Dodger Stadium. Their press box is in prime real estate. They also had some cool artifacts out on display which was fun for me to see.
