If you have been a fan of the show for your whole life, why not take in a taping of the show while you are there? You might just get called to come on down.

If you are a baseball lover, a trip to Dodger Stadium will be like a Catholic visiting the Vatican. The Dodgers started out playing in Brooklyn for many decades. They eventually moved to the west coast in 1958. Dodger Stadium opened its doors in 1962. Even though it is one of the older ballparks currently being used in Major League Baseball, it does not look nearly as old as it really is. One of the things that has allowed the stadium to maintain its youthful appearance over half a century is the beautiful southern California weather. Since the park has not needed to endure bad winters like many other parks, it has required very few improvements over the years. If you plan on taking in a Dodger game while you are in Los Angeles, you should make sure that you leave for the game very early. Otherwise, you may miss the first couple of innings. Los Angeles is famous for having horrendous traffic, so keep that in mind.
