Dodger MVP

PrintNope, this is not about Matt Kemp, this is about the Dodgers making some solid decisions trying to bring back the endangered season ticket holder.
Besides lowering prices this past winter, they have added a few new wrinkles all centered around this magic called the Dodger MVP Card.
The benefits:
1. Early entry to Dodger Stadium to watch Dodger batting practice
2. Opportunity to play catch on field after five select home games
3. MVP card members can move freely throughout all levels of the stadium from Top Deck to Field Level
Many have been clamoring for the 1st benefit, and it makes perfect sense. I am a bit puzzled by the 3rd benefit. If I can move freely throughout the stadium, wouldn't I be better off simply buying top deck tickets and moving down to the empty field level seats to watch the game? Awesoke:)

3. MVP card members can move freely throughout all levels of the stadium from Top Deck to Field Level
nice. I think this has to with making it easier to exit the park
If people move down to the field level to watch games,
exiting will not be easier. The choke points caused by the Healthy Plate Kiosk (RF side) and the Wetzel Kiosk (LF side) are a nightmare, even last year. Picture yourself like an old person having to shuffle your feet several inches at a time to move forward slowly until you clear the jam. Not great fun…..especially after a loss when you’re already pissed.
After the game is over, I haven’t seem them restrict movement up and down. We always go down from Reserved to Field to exit.

4. Opportunity to pinch-hit for Matt Treanor in 11th inning or later if no other position players are available on the bench. (Not valid on Saturdays)
5. Opportunity to pitch when D2X has mown through all the pitchers in a blowout and would have to use Loney anyway.

I’ve only watched BP before playoff games but I wouldn’t mind getting up early on a day game and spending the entire the day at the Stadium. The only downfall is the ensuing heatstroke
last time I went to a game, I sat in the top level Row A.. parked behind the CF wall, me and my buddies came real close to falling down the stairs

It still boggles the mind that the stadium is opened at a time where the only possible batting practice one can see is of the visiting team. I can understand it from most sides though.
The home team goes first, then goes and does whatever in the clubhouse. Can relax before the game, whatever.
It would cost more in labor to staff the stadium for the earlier entrants.
I don’t know if there is an easy solution so everyone can see batting practice. It just kind of sucks that it isn’t a norm.
Not too much before. Remember, they don’t want tailgating.
"It's supposed to be hard. If it wasn't hard, everyone would do it. The hard... is what makes it great."
seriously man, the more you try to prevent something, the more its going to happen, and worse its going to be. Might as well just allow tailgating

Tailgating makes sense to me as a “once in a while” thing. Like opening day or college or pro football games (there are so few of them.) There are 81 home baseball games. As such, tailgaiting baseball games doesn’t make sense to me.

set up designated parking lot where you’re allowed to tailgate (academy, anyone?) charge $5 per person to be able to tailgate, hand out wristbands, patrol that area more closely.
yeah, weekends is a good idea I think…… Anyone know how USC gets away with tailgating? I thought it was because its on SC campus, and its private property, but so is Dodgers Stadium isnt it?

My friend tells me that if you see the cops on bikes coming, just get out of the car real quick and lock the doors. Act like you are walking up to stadium. They have no authority to search your car.
If they are actual cops then your friend does not know of which he speaks. If they have good probable cause to search then they can just like any other cop. This stands true for off duty police that are working as security as well but in that instance they’d probably have to call in someone that is on duty (all depending on local laws, police regulations, and agreements those officers have with the venue when they take the job).
Phil, as far as #3 goes, I agree with you. But Ive heard Dodger fans complain about not being able to go down to a lower level to buy certain food. According to them, alot of other ballparks already allow you to roam around any level, no matter what section your ticket is in…. Is this true?
I’m all for the free access, just surprised they are doing it. This is how I would exploit it.
Buy two Loge Season Tickets. Get the MVP card. Take USCChris to a game. Give HJ my MVP who buys two tickets in the Top Deck. He meets me at my Loge tickets. We sit in our loge seats, HJ sits in the two empty one’s behind us. When the real season ticket holders show up they see they would have to set behind you and not be able to see so instead of moving HJ and friend they find some empty seats and park it. Everyone wins other than me because I’m sitting next to you:)

Phil came close in 2009. He covered the Friday night game against the Rockies on the final weekend of the year. Dodgers lost that night though, waiting to clinch until TBLA night (in the stands) one night later. I was secretly hoping for a Sunday clinch because I was covering that game. :)

These are players that teams like something about, but certainly do not have the full package in terms of NFL talent. A lot of times, teams will take chances on character players or developmental type athletes with this grade. And often, these are players that come from smaller schools or did not standout at the college level. NFL teams are looking for ‘diamonds in the rough’ with this type of prospect. He will usually rate in the bottom third of players at his position and will be considered a late round draft choice or un-drafted free agent.

thanks for the hint
Historically, the NFL made allowance for an open weekend between the Conference Championship games and the Super Bowl. However, there wasn’t one scheduled for 2001, due to the NFL’s decision beginning in the 1999 season to move the opening week of games to the weekend after Labor Day. Because the date of the Super Bowl had been set through 2003, the bye week before the Super Bowl would not return until 2004.
Watch me all in flames, on a butterfly I ride
totally murphy's law
of the two years where the bye week was gone, they really could of used it due to delaying games because of 9/11
Watch me all in flames, on a butterfly I ride
Super Bowl XVII (1983) didn’t have one because of a strike that shortened the season. Wikipedia:
A 57-day long players’ strike reduced the 1982 regular season from a 16-game schedule to 9. Because of the shortened season, the NFL adopted a special 16-team playoff tournament. Division standings were ignored. Eight teams from each conference were seeded 1-8 based on their regular season records.
.
The modified schedule forced the league to extend the regular season into January for the first time. After the 57-day strike, the NFL extended the regular season one weekend (pushing the end of the regular season back from December 26 to January 2), moving back the start of the playoffs and eliminating the week off for the first time since Super Bowl IV.
Super Bowl XXV also only had a one-week break.
Appears to have been an experiment to see if ratings would be higher.
This website says:
Seven Super Bowls have been played on the Sunday just after the conference championships (average margin: 11.5 points), but that hasn’t happened in eight years and, despite the pleas of many NFL observers and fans, there are no announced plans to do away with the in-between bye week in the immediate future. Also, the average margin of the games that have been preceded by a two-week break is not that much higher (15.3).That was written before this last Super Bowl. So the answer appears to be 7.
I can't stand the bye week
I hates it irrationally more then it deserves

Was this discussed earlier? The fantasies of Buster Olney:
(notes via MLBTR)
http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2012/01/dodgers-note...
With no clear frontrunner in the Prince Fielder sweepstakes, ESPN.com’s Buster Olney [links to Insider] says the Dodgers should step in and make a play for the slugger. Olney concedes current owner Frank McCourt “probably flinches reflexively at the idea of spending money these days,” but argues that spending on Fielder would be a smart investment since it would increase the bids for the team over the next few months.
[i still don’t see it happening. BUT I get the feeling Fielder might prefer to come to LA, rather than sign for 10 years for a place he doesn’t want to be, and end up taking a 1 year deal somewhere to, say, open up his options next year.]

isn’t he leading the NBA in scoring right now? I know him and Lebron are close

Kobe right now is at 30.33 per game. LeBron (29.7 ppg entering tonight) needs 31 tonight to lead the league. He had 10 points in the first half.

Even dumber
LeBron needs 37 points tonight. Jesus I’m horrible.
37 points would give LeBron a 30.4 average. I am a dummy.

You should use a computer/spreadsheet/calculator/pad of paper; you’re getting too damn old to rely on just your brain cells. Alcohol will do that to you. Or so i hear.

you have to wonder where that’s learned. Is there a seminar at training camp? Or you just see it happen enough and decide well the hell with playing fair.

old Lakers highlights with either Vlade or Derek Fisher.

Hubie Brown appears to not know the goaltending rule. He was saying it wasn’t a goaltend because it didn’t look like it was going off the board or through the hoop. But it doesn’t matter if you think it was going to go in or not — it was going down off a shot.
Should have been a goaltend.
Didn’t they change the goal tending rule a year or two ago to the international rule that it has to look like it is going in?
Didn't watch the Clip game
but judging by twitter, it seems the Lakers and Clips got involved in very similar games tonight. Close, playoff atmosphere, OT, big block toward the end

Lawler had a good time tonight

Don't think this has been discussed
Great new ESPN piece on Manny’s comeback:
http://espn.go.com/mlb/story/_/id/7452132/manny-ramirez-teams-take-chance-role-model
Watch through til the end – there’s a great Manny Being Manny moment.
Most surprising thing about the video (for me): dude looks like he’s in great shape. I don’t think I’ve seen him that slim since his Boston days.
He hasn’t really been discussed much this offseason, and he’s done so much stupid shit that I can understand why people don’t like him. But I have to say I’m rooting for the guy. I think I’ll always be a Manny fan.
