Thread: Angel Stadium

  1. #1

    Thumbs down Angel Stadium

    I heard that there were rats crawling through Angel Stadium not too long ago. If that's true, then they need to fire the workers, and hire the ones who are dedicated. Or build a new stadium.

    Yep it's true!

    I'm pretty sure this has to be more common than you think.

    Every stadium in every country in the world has rats. You may not read about them, but they're there.

    By the way, Bud Selig just called and wanted to say "Thank You" for the honorable mention!

    Yeah, rats are everywhere. They have a nasty habit of doing those things, such as invading places, but this isn't anything new.

    Not the Angels Stadium violations but some of the others mentioned in the other parks like "making a sandwich without gloves" violation- someone messed up but it's not a huge mistake that should be held against the entire stadium and the concession stand...

    I worked in a concession stand for a summer at a minor league park and it stayed suprising clean every night. Granted it was the yankee's spring training field so you would expect everything to be great but other than using popcorn in a bag instead of poping our own it was a great place get food.
    The one constant through all the years, Ray, has been baseball. America has rolled by like an army of steamrollers. It has been erased like a blackboard, rebuilt and erased again. But baseball has marked the time.

    Anaheim should take a lesson from the old Philidelphia Vet. I was told by the demolition contractors the byproduct of the stadium implosion was the large amount of ferile cats found dead among the debris while removing materials from the site. That said, the Vet probably didn't have much of a problem with rats.

    I would but I won't go crazy because someone touched a sandwich for a few seconds without gloves. I certainly wouldn't demand my money back nor run to the health inspector. It's a minor violation to me, it's not something to get worked up about compared to other issues at the parks...

    If you guys wanna talk about weird food, this is the place to go.

    You'll never complain about Dodger Dogs again!

    Gerardo Parra, a lefthand batter, steps in to lead off. Harvey's first pitch on the way, it's a fastball on the inside corner for a called strike, nothing and one, a 93-mile per hour fastball to Gerardo Parra. Parra batting at .281 with 6 homers, 28 runs batted in. - Howie Rose's call of Matt Harvey's very first pitch in the big leagues... Mets at Arizona, July 26, 2012

    True.


    They use leaf-blowers to just move everything into one huge pile.


    It's kind of amazing how much trash is generated at a ballgame.

    I love that show!


    Off the track travel shows like that are awesome. I'd love to go some of the places that guy has been, but just avoid eating some of the things he's eaten.

    Yeah, but that photo is from 7am in the morning. They used to just leave the trash over night. And they wonder why they had rats and roaches.

    Someone had to be fired over that but it probably never came about...no excuse for not cleaning the trash after the game.
