Why are L.A. fans notorious for leaving games early even if it's close? BFD if there's traffic at the end!

Walk all over, upstairs, downstairs, in, out.  Take the Escalators all the way to the top.  The best food I would recommend is the Loaded nachos from El Birdos cantina.  You gotta have some cold AB products (budweiser select for me.)  I will be there tonight and will be eating portobella fries.  Outside the stadium if the cardinals win, go to Paddy O's or Al hraboskys ball park saloon for some more AB adult beverages.  The bathrooms are kinda small, so find a good one next to your seat.  I would recommend eating before you go because the food has gone up in price substantialy.

i hear that there is a small bar in south west soho that may be showing the highlights of the game but they only open at 6pm, to be honest not many will be watching the game,we're much more interested in american football and baseball, youll be lucky to find anywhere that shows it. duh

The box office at the Stadium ahead of time. If your a member of the fan club they'll sometimes send out deals on certain games via e-mail, like half off etc.

It isnt about the region of LA supporting a team, trust me, there are enough people in that metropolis that would support a team.\n\nActually, UncleDaddy was fairly close in his opening line about "if you build it, they will come."  The biggest problem is the cost to build it.  Not that it would be so expensive in relation to other new stadiums/domes, but that the people are not willing to take the tax burden that other cities have accepted to build the stadium.\n\nIf the fans ever do accept the tax burden (highly unlikely, CA just shot down the Sacramento Kings for new stadium for something like 7th time on recent ballot) then the NFL will quickly act to move or expand a team to LA.

If you have the chance, take the public transportation (lightrail, cable car, etc). It was very efficient for me when I went. There is a lightrail stop that basically drops you off at the home plate entrance.

Although the A's are in a rather large market they are a small market team because of there low income. They have a lot of things working against them. There stadium sucks, they have to share the market with the Giants, and there is a general lack of interest in baseball in Oakland. Those things would all help a team make money if people went to the games but no one goes. They had the 12th worst attendance last year despite having one of the largest stadiums. They also have owners who arent willing to shell out there own money to help the team. Combine that with a crappy tv deal and the A's dont make much money at all. According to Forbes.com they had the 7th lowest revenue in baseball.

I take the 57 south every other Wednesday, and it is fantabulous. It's always empty. On the other hand though, the northbound side is packed! Why is it so bad? Because people don't know how to drive... there's a specific race out there that are HORRIBLE at it.. and the 57 is swarmed by them.

You are obviously not from California!!!  Please tell me where I can go where the freeway isn't busy until 5pm.\n\nAt my work the bosses leave early and everyone communicates by cell phone anyway so it is easier to sneak out unnoticed.

Oh man dude, you have no idea what a coincidence this is. My girlfriend and another friend spent about an hour this afternoon trying to decide whether sports is worth yelling at or not. \nFor my own reasons, it's just a way of life. And I think it's safe to say for all us sports fans, that we get into it a bit too much sometimes. All of us invest a whole lot of expectations and hopes within one team, that we even feel tied to the game and the team. It's understandable to shout and act crazy during a game, if you really hate it, maybe talk to your cousin about it?\nThanks

I think G and raptopgirl are retarted. Anyway, there has really been a game that has gone up to 22 innings(1988) the game continued, but I went to sleep. So there definately hase been a game with more than 22 innings

I'm from the Bay Area and was staying in the city last year and the Yankee's were playing Oakland and stayed at the Renaissance Park 55 Hotel where I was staying.  There was a line of fans outside the hotel at midnight waiting for the bus to arrive.\n\nhttp://www.parc55hotel.com/

Traffic always works!  And never ever volunteer information.  I make it a habbit to stay over somtimes.  Or I will come early and leave early. LOL

No L.A. does not need a football team. The NFL has been growing exponentially since it left L.A. Expansion would just lead to unbalanced schedules and there's no reason to move anybody to L.A.

they "black-out" areas based on their tv contract.\nan attempt to get people to go to pay at the stadium. though the system and contracts are old and networks block out area wicked far away. not likely to change too much, tv contracts bring in good $$

Are you kidding?... The only reason its going this long is the Suns are mot playing up to par... the Suns are going to close it out and probably go on to crap out against the clippers... Wow awesome im so impressed...

There may not be jerseys around and the game sometimes moves to fast to stop and recognize a face. And they're guys, most of the time, so they don't too much care as long as the game is played. Also, most often games start out of nowhere, just a bunch of guys on the court, when theres enough its like "hey, lets play a game". Even when everyone agrees to meet there at a certain time, no one says over the phone lets pick team because one person maay not be reliable or someone better might show up the day of the game.
