My first Dodgers game was in the spring of 2016. I'd just moved to L.A. the previous winter after spending two years far outside MLB territory, and I was excited to see big-league baseball again.
At another game later that spring, I remembered my experience and chose seats at the front of the upper deck on the left-field side. What I didn't take into account was that this was a day game. We wouldn't have the sun in our eyes, but we had it on our necks and sweaty backs for several hours.
