Atlanta Braves @ Los Angeles Dodgers (game 1)

I found the express bus easily enough.  It's very different to the way it's done in Anaheim!  For a start, there were several buses and a lot of people queueing for them.  The journey looks very short on the map, but it took some time.  At one point, I was considering just walking, but I'm glad I didn't - as what the maps don't show is that it's almost all steep uphill.  With all the congestion, it takes half an hour too.

There's still lots of steps when you get to the stadium.  I managed to enter through the top deck gate and took this photo of the concourse and then of the field.

In the end, I had to go down in the elevator and an escalator to get to the loge level.

It is extremely pleasant to sit there, in comfort, watching a game as a sunny day turns into night, with the temperature 21C/70F.  It's a fabulous view from there, both of the entire field and of the hills in the background.

One of the Dodgers' star pitchers, Maeda was starting tonight, and he gave up runs in the first and second inning, but Atlanta's starter, Julio Teheran, was unable to hold Los Angeles down, giving up solo home runs in the 3rd, 4th, 5th and 7th innings - three of them to Corey Seager.  The Dodgers' only other hit was a double late on.  Meanwhile Atlanta couldn't muster anything further against a procession of relievers, and the game finished 4-2.

The Dodgers allow people at field level onto the field when there's a fireworks display, so I didn't get to go down there, but had an excellent view from my seat.  The fireworks weren't nearly as impressive as those at Disneyland or the Memorial Day fireworks at Angel Stadium.

The queue for the Dodgers Express back to Union Station snaked half way around the stadium.  With all the congestion, I was queueing for 50 minutes to get back, although I found myself standing next to three people from Cumbria who were on a west coast swing of their own, but not entirely baseball based like mine.  Tom, Matt & Mike started in San Francisco, and were going on to the Grand Canyon and Las Vegas.
