I'm a Red Sox fan living in NY and went to a Sox-Angels game on August 19,2005. The Sox won in 10 innings with Curt Shilling getting the victory in relief. I think that this is a great stadium! Even though we sat in the upper deck the view was good and the incline isn't nearly as bad as Yankee and Shea stadiums. The concourses were very clean and wide and the amenities were nice and the employees and fans were friendly. Though the game was almost sold out, it didn't feel too crowded, except when we tried to get out of the parking lot, which took close to an hour because just about everybody drives there due to the suburban location and lack of public transportation options. That's the only negative I had. I was especially impressed because the stadium is 40 years old, yet is almost like a brand new stadium due to the renovations over the past 10 years or so. Too bad some other teams, like those in NY couldn't learn from the Angels.
