The beautiful part of this god-awfully ugly stadium is that I took this photo from the subway platform on the way in, and i’m writing this entry on the subway on the way home.

It once again baffles and enrages me that Los Angeles makes no serious effort to get people to its stadia via public transport. Dodger Stadium parking costs are at an all-time high and the racket is that there’s really no other choice. You could maybe take a bus, but that’ll drop you at least a 1.5-mile uphill walk to the stadium entrance. A walk with no pathway, no guardrails, no pedestrian lighting for the way back.

My beloved Angels have a train station in their parking lot, but are presumably too busy giving away GM cars every Saturday night to look past the sponsorship to the needs of their environment nearby. No promotion of the train or special deals are worked out with the city or with fans from Los Angeles, which allegedly is the city the team represents (though if they’re the L.A. Angels, how come it takes me 2 hours to get there from my home in LA?).

And so the traffic, the carbon, the fuel, the time… All is wasted.

It’s genuinely disgusting how the teams needlessly soil the community in which they play such a pretty game.
