west coast travel

is a friend to the East Coast dwelling insomniac. when I go myself, I can fall asleep by the very reasonable hour of midnight without trouble, and when the ballclub goes, I have live Mets games to watch deep into the night. there's also the bonus of knowing exactly how Atlanta's home game turned out before the game even starts in California.

I loved going to games at Dodger Stadium, in large measure because I felt like the only one who was there from start to finish-- Dodger fans tend to arrive between the first and third inning, and start leaving by the seventh. It's also got a gorgeous view, up in the hills in East LA. A great place for a ballpark, a great place to watch a game.
