I've been going to dodgers game since 1984 back in the good ol' days...but for a few years when i returned to LA (around '98 et seq) the DODGER environment went bad..very bad..I no longer enjoyed going to games, & Angels became my team of choice. New ownership has helped LA come back..better environment, let's hope it keeps improving!
