Week before Thanksgiving, and it was like 90 degrees. We were shvitzing away in our USC sweatshirt, which we felt obliged to purhcase at the game. My neighbor worked at USC and hooked us up with comp tickets on the 50 yard line (mid-way up, sunny side). We were sitting among the alumni's big-money donors - $100-grand, that type of thing. Hitchcock's daughter, Patricia sat directly behind me. My wife high-fived her after a Trojan touchdown. Nah, we didn't talk movies with her. I read a few years ago that she revealed her dad was secretly a fan of "Smokey & The Bandit," and "Benji." Go figure. 8] are you holding off on the Yanks’ new place, or just haven’t had the chance?

But I will check out Philippes when I get me hence >;) Shea sure had a warehouse/parking garage feel to it, but it still had something to it that felt intense. The new park is more like a collegial grandstand to me; homey, like watching kids play in the backyard or local little league park from your deck. Almost feels like it's not finished yet. Funny how I expected more when I haven't even been to new Yankee Stadium yet. The amenities are far better and the parking situation is rather ideal, but until the Mutts play better, I still like old Shea over new Shea.

Well at least I was able to take in a game at the LA Coliseum.

They're of the same time. But the sights and smells of each are incomparable. Mountains, palm trees, and big, balmy night sky - or - industrial Queens, the intrusive roar of LaGuardia planes every few minutes, and the eggy stench of Flushing Bay. The experiences aren't even in the same, eh, ballpark. 4) yeah, Shea gone to heaven is about right- structure-wise. They’re of the same time. But the sights and smells of each are incomparable.

I lived very close to the Stadium in Silver Lake. I could see the top of the stadium lights over the hill from the tiny house my wife and I were renting, which also had a fantastic view of downtown L.A. When they had fireworks after the games, they would break at eye-level in my driveway. I went to a couple dozen games a year. Anyway, had I known the upper deck was available for lunch I would have gone down to Philippe's (home of the French Dip), just a short drive away, and brought my sandwich, pickle, soda, and chips up there. Great place to get some eating done. If you don't know about Philippe's -GO THERE! http://www.philippes.com/ Man, oh, man how I miss Philippe's. wish I knew this when I lived out there (moved back in ’02).

Dodger Stadium was like Shea Stadium gone to heaven. The only trouble is that I had a pack of my dickhead New Yorker pals with me, who were more interested in razzing the locals than watching the game. Sheff hit two dingers that day. I love the idea of grabbing a bite in the empty upper deck. Wonder if more heads will try it now that Plaschke wrote about it. Then again, considering what a schlepp it is to get there, maybe not. 4) I was there once in 2000. Dodger Stadium was like Shea Stadium gone to heaven.

That stadium and the fans, in my imagination anyway, make LA a way cooler place than it otherwise seems. It's seems very different from the LA I spy through the Angel's lens. that’s freakin awesome.
