By now, I don't think I need to remind you what a huge sports fan I am. My roommate who I was on the trip with happened to be equally enthused, so while we were seeing SoCal, we made time to see most of the sports stadiums around the L.A./San Diego area.
In San Diego, we saw Petco Park where the San Diego Padres play baseball and Qualcomm Stadium where the San Diego Chargers play football.
In L.A., we saw Dodger Stadium where the Los Angeles Dodgers play baseball, and we even got to take a peek inside! We also saw the Staples Center, where the L.A. Lakers and Clippers play basketball. Staples Center is also home to the L.A. Kings hockey franchise. And finally, in Anaheim we saw Angel Stadium where the Anaheim Angels play baseball, and we had the great honor to take in a Anaheim Ducks hockey game at the Honda Center (formally known as The Pond)!
In college, my roommate and I were avid hockey fans, and I don't think we missed 5 home games all throughout our 4 years in college. Matt and Linda caught wind of this and took the liberty of getting us tickets to our first ever Pro hockey game, and in Club Level seating even! We definitely got our money's worth as 3 fights broke out in the game, the game went into overtime, and we even saw a shootout, which is rare! They sure saw us coming!
Tips on SoCal Stadiums:
-If you are visiting the Southern California area at any time of the year, try and make it to a sporting event at one of these venues. Baseball is my passion, but choose yours and run with it. Being outside these stadiums was a rush for me, and I can't imagine what it would be like to have taken in a game at all of them!
