It's a pretty cool stadium, but it has to be top 3-5 in concession expense. The real problem is the fanbase, though. They're either, as you say, totally uninterested, or they are aggressive dickheads looking for confrontation. I've gone to Cardinals games here with my Cardinals fan friends and almost gotten into fights. I've had multiple friends who have had batteries flung at them. Glad you've had good experiences. I'd much rather drive a little further to Anaheim to catch a game.

My parents were far from rich. But they knew how to raise children that were respectful of others.

Sit in the bleachers or upper deck. I was there last year on a Sat. night, big game with the cardinals, and half the concessions were closed. Luckily I didn't give a shit about the game or I would have been pissed waiting 2+ innings. My gf went in the beer-only line which took just as long. When I finally got to the cashier I asked her why so many concessions were closed: "Oh the chicken lady? She moved."

So there you have it. The chicken lady moved. What are you gonna do?

This. I went for a huge late season game vs. the Giants many years ago with the division on the line. We sat in the bleachers, with a 10-year-old girl. She learned a lot of new words that night, including MILF - which college kids kept chanting at every decent looking female who walked by. The college kids also spelled out D-O-D-G-E-R-S on their bare torsos, except the "O" was a blow up sex doll. Park employees kept taking it away from them, but they'd throw it in some dumpster, the kids would find it and resurrect it. Morons.

All this would have been pretty funny except for the 10-year-old part. People later were like "You sat in the bleachers with a 10-year-old, what are you nuts?" It's not like the tickets come with a damn warning.

Another dude I met at a party was a Boston fan out for the game. He said he was getting into it with some Mexican dudes and one of them said "You're lucky I don't stab you." He thought it was funny. I said "He wasn't joking. You probably came close to getting stabbed." Dude's eyes got big. He was a typical obnoxious loudmouth Boston fan too so I could totally see someone getting fed up and sticking his ass.

Anyway the Giants game we saw was one of the most exicting games I've ever seen live. There was an over-the-wall catch right in front of us. Brian Jordan hit a GS to tie it up. The fans applauded mildly, about an Arrowhead 1.5 out of 10, then went back to their beach balls. There must have been 20 beach balls going at all times, and 100s of waves and attempted waves. Later I saw Brian Jordan on TV say that was the loudest he's ever heard that stadium. LOOOOOL

Dyson is off the DL. Fuentes sent back down. Not sure when Dyson starts playing again, maybe tonight??

Hitting .217 /.327 /.283

Luckily, we upgraded to Infante: .324 / .333 / .432

Because that's what I was saying.

I wasn't equating white trash to poor people. I know plenty of rich white trash.

What I was referring to was pretty much what Dartgod said a few posts ago.

ha. funny story. yeah, honestly haven't sat out there yet. I hear you about the fans... LUCKILY... you wear a royals hat, they hardly notice you because it is so similar to the Dodger hat.

I thought they moved all the $1 offerings to a separate location(s) away from the regular concession stands. At least that's what I recall last year.

Also, I'm not sure if there is a name for it, but there are concession areas at the top of the 100 sections, kind of directly up from the dugouts, that are always mostly empty. I think people aren't aware that it's there. They have all the regular stuff, plus beer and mixed drinks, and restrooms.

I've never had more than a couple people in front of me, and if I walk fast after the 3rd out, I can sometimes make it back to my seat before the next batter.

Yeah they don't care about the Royals. I hear the bleachers aren't as bad as they used to be. For many years you couldn't get any beer in the bleachers. Now I think there's one place you can get it. Apparently too much beer makes Dodgers fans all fighty and stabby.

Apparently the LOGE level is nice. I bet down there the chicken lady is still on her game.

@FlannyMLB #Royals recall Jarrod Dyson, option Reymond Fuentes. Dillon Gee to paternity list, Miguel Almonte recalled.

Now RF is platoon of Orlando/Dyson. Not expecting much from Dyson but better defense. Hopefully get something out of RF ABs. No extra-base hits so far this year.

Amen to all of this. It's hard to articulate this feeing, but you did a great job.

Someone start it.

I've been home all day pissing out my ass!

No game thread tonight? 6:15 start.

I'm not starting one. Last time I did was game two against the Mets. We all know how that turned out.
