LOS ANGELES — Opening Day is just two days away, so besides craving real baseball action that actually counts, one's thoughts may wander to how one's stadium experience might differ compared to last year. To that end, Los Angeles Dodgers officials met with a bevy of bloggers at Dodger Stadium last week to show some of their promotional items for the coming season, to discuss other changes being made to the stadium and surrounding areas, and to unveil samples of new food offerings (which will be the focus of a separate, future article).
The Dodgers commissioned artist Branly Cadet to create a statue honoring Jackie Robinson, which will be unveiled on April 15th, Jackie Robinson Day for Major League Baseball, with the first 40,000 fans in attendance receiving a miniature replica of the statue.
