I promise not to ping too often to the topic, but we know what they say about promises and this is the best comprehensive article out there on the situation.

On Saturday 31,614 in paid attendance was counted, the lowest attended Saturday home game since 9/7/02 vs Astros. Finally, Sunday saw just 27,439, or 49% of capacity. Through 8 games the Dodgers are averaging 40,270, a healthy number (now second in the league behind the Phillies), until you realize that that is just 72 percent of Dodger Stadium’s 56,000 seating capacity ...

That's easily the largest seat capacity of any major league team. MLB teams have don't play at Astroturfed behemoths like Riverfront and Veteran's anymore, most have new ball parks with smaller seating capacities, better views and real grass. The Dodgers need a new park. And new ownership.

No problem, I want to follow this topic.

The Dodgers need a new owner. They need a police substation with a jail in the stadium like Anaheim has. They need zero tolerance for threats, for taunting, and swearing. The LAPD needs to be arresting people for drinking in the parking lots and for being intoxicated in the stadium.

You basically have a stadium that has been claimed by a Mexican sureno prison gang. McCourt allowed it, in fact encouraged it with heavy advertising on LA gangbanger radio.
It’s a travesty what has happened to the Dodgers.
