Dodger Stadium Announcement

Today the Dodgers announced additional changes to Dodger Stadium that they plan to make. Once the two New York teams close up shop in their current digs, Dodger Stadium will be the 3rd oldest stadium in the majors.  They are calling it "The Next 50".  As you can see here,  they are planning to make most of the changes on the outer portion of the stadium, particularly in the outfield.  While I do believe that Dodger stadium is a gorgeous stadium, the one area where I always though could use some improvement was beyond the outfield.  Depending on where you sit, all you see is parking lot.  Although it did provide a great backdrop when Kirk hit his homerun in game 1 of the '88 World Series and you got to see all the brake lights lit up as people realized they had left too soon.

I can't really complain about the improvement overall.  I am happy that they are making changes that will affect most everybody and not just the super rich and their luxury boxes.  

However, I am disappointed that it still does not provide an alternative for public transportation.  I've always loved stadiums where you could park for cheap and then take some sort of public transportation in.  The Dodgers are beginning to dialogue with the city regarding bus routes or even a Subway line up into Chavez Ravine.  My problem is that this is something that they are just beginning to discuss.  Which means we are many years away from anything on that front.  Anyway, I would love to hear your thoughts on the new plans.
