0:13

0:19
per automobile also no cash is accepted
0:22

at anaheim angel stadium welcome
0:30
everyone adam and the woo here as a
0:32
recording of this it is sunday july 18
0:35
2021
0:36
11 30 a.m gates open
0:40
90 minutes prior for batting practice
0:42
which means in about seven minutes
0:45
from where i am speaking right now gates
0:48
should open so i should be getting up
0:49
there at that time they are playing the
0:50
seattle
0:51
mariners the los angeles angels of
0:54
anaheim
0:56
actually scrapped the name from
0:59
even though it's located in anaheim
1:00
they've gotten rid of from
1:02
the name now it's just los angeles
1:05
angels even though
1:07
about 30 minutes from la proper in
1:10
anaheim it's very confusing
1:13
but i am wearing an appropriate cap and
1:15
i have purchased tickets
1:17
for less than ten dollars nine dollar
1:19
tickets up in the
1:20
farthest nether regions of the stadium i
1:24
thought it'd be a cool experience during
1:25
the day and i have never been to a day
1:26
game here so that'll be fun i'm inviting
1:28
you to join me
1:29
shall you and to be honest i don't know
1:31
why i wear my
1:32
my hat not completely straightforward
1:35
it's always a little bit crooked
1:36
okay it must be 95 minutes before
1:40
first pitch because the gates have
1:42
already opened
1:44
ever since i was a youth i've always
1:47
wore my cap
1:48
tilted just a little bit
1:55
old habits old habits are hard to break
1:55
right
1:57
oh yeah and my cap is much smaller
2:00
than this massive put it okay over here
2:04
it says the size of the cap
2:06
it's a 640 and a half
2:09
if you were to to put this on you know
2:11
godzilla or king kong
2:13
says it right up there 649 and a half
2:26
that's a big hat i really do love this
2:28
game and all and in my opinion it is my
2:30
all-time favorite sport and i followed
2:31
basketball a little bit when i was a
2:33
little bit younger
2:34
and football as well but really baseball
2:37
was has always been
2:38
you know it's america's past time it is
2:40
something i really enjoy i think it's
2:42
one of the greatest games
2:43
and it's just it's nice to watch not
2:45
only on television but
2:47
being only a few miles from the stadium
2:49
there's something i thought about when i
2:51
was
2:52
you know over the years or when i was
2:53
younger i'd always say i really wish i
2:55
could live
2:56
near a professional baseball stadium and
2:58
i got to thinking within the last year
2:59
or two
3:00
i do now i have a place on both coasts
3:03
i'm about an hour and a half two hours
3:05
from tropicana field in tampa bay which
3:06
is technically saint pete
3:08
and about five minutes from angel
3:09
stadium here in anaheim
3:11
why not go to some games that's what
3:13
i've been doing and that's what i'm
3:14
going to continue to do i'm just going
3:15
to kind of pepper them in
3:16
plus it's really exciting that the
3:18
angels have one of the best players in
3:20
the game
3:22
oh someone just the vicious sneeze
3:27
at the back of the line do have to go
3:30
through this screening area before
3:33
heading in
3:34
which is a good thing making sure
3:36
everything is good to go
3:39
notice how the awning here well the
3:41
signage is held up by
3:42
a baseball and three bats on this side
3:45
and that
3:46
side this is the home plate gate
3:50
that i'm going through made it inside
3:53
now the seats i have chosen and
3:55
purchased for only nine dollars
3:57
are area 504 which would be
4:01
right over here on the upper deck not in
4:03
the far corner i want to try to get 501
4:05
or 502 but they had a couple that were
4:07
already
4:08
already filled in so i picked up here on
4:10
the very top level
4:11
where no one was sitting but i believe
4:14
once i get up there these will be very
4:15
sporadic no one is really wants these
4:17
no one really sits up in this area
4:19
especially during the day game i imagine
4:21
the
4:21
attendance will be a little lower than a
4:23
night game just because of the heat
4:25
index and the sun blaring down
4:27
so i'm going to try to get over here in
4:29
this far corner on the farthest
4:31
let's just say the worst seats to watch
4:34
a game
4:35
in great detail at angel stadium that's
4:38
kind of the context i'm going for now
4:40
this store down here has
4:41
for a hundred dollars you can get a game
4:43
used and team issue
4:45
jersey you got an extra hundred dollars
4:49
you could get a a game used jersey
4:52
that's pretty neat right and inside the
4:56
new era store
4:57
kind of like this t-shirt right here
4:59
with the state you know the state with
5:00
the halo with the
5:02
very tippy top they also have hats i've
5:03
seen hats like that
5:05
as well oh there's a camouflage i'm
5:07
wearing a camouflage shirt
5:08
i think that might be a little too much
5:10
on the cam too much camouflage
5:12
and across the way here is the big a
5:14
burger so
5:15
you can go with the traditional hot dog
5:17
you can also get a hamburger not just
5:19
any hamburger
5:20
you can get the big a burger the big
5:23
angels burger
5:24
check that out even though this was down
5:25
here even at 11 50 a.m
5:28
batting practice was very very short
5:31
okay if it even happened at all
5:32
yeah 11 50 a.m and they had already
5:35
completely
5:37
finish up with batting practice you can
5:39
see the the stadium is not filling up
5:41
too quickly
5:42
you know it's still another hour and 17
5:45
minutes
5:45
until game time first pitch i'm just
5:48
gonna i'm just gonna throw it out there
5:49
i think well no pun intended but i'm
5:51
just going to say
5:51
throw it out there because you know
5:53
baseball you throw a baseball
5:54
that it probably won't be a pack stadium
5:56
during the heat of a
5:58
southern california day my prediction is
6:00
i won't have
6:01
too much trouble getting any snacks
6:06
they're beverages well i don't drink so
6:08
none of these are really go into
6:09
into play when it comes to like hot dogs
6:11
or anything i won't have any problem
6:13
now i'll probably forget a little later
6:14
to even mention this but as a recording
6:16
of this
6:16
it is technically national ice cream day
6:19
so dippin dots is here
6:21
representing got the grounds crew down
6:23
there doing their thing i find it very
6:24
fascinating
6:25
some of the famous faces here with the
6:27
angels of course nolan ryan
6:29
and gene autry gentlemen who need no
6:32
introduction
6:32
but you know they're introduced here
6:34
with their pictures and names on the
6:36
wall
6:36
as well as a 2002 world series
6:40
champs right down here as well and jimmy
6:43
reese
6:44
over there in the corner oh here are
6:45
some gold glove awards
6:48
wow i didn't even know these were here
6:49
in this shop window
6:51
there's quite a few gold gloves down in
6:53
there
6:59
whenever a rally is needed if you have
6:59
the rally monkey
7:00
i think i think that's the name of the
7:01
rally monkey there's also the this
7:04
little cute little
7:05
cute little teddy bear here with the
7:06
angel's jersey on it
7:09
i'm not sure he's a rally bear i also
7:11
like all the different
7:12
the different different colored ones
7:14
here we got the gray one there
7:15
a couple different gray ones but we also
7:18
have the
7:19
state bear down there as well look at
7:21
this
7:22
it's pretty neat this like this light
7:25
baby blue
7:26
now i've seen the foam finger saying
7:29
number one but i've never seen a foam
7:31
fish this is a foam fish
7:33
number 27 mike trout whose jersey is
7:35
right up there on the wall as well
7:37
you know this is a trout a fish is a
7:39
trowel that's very
7:40
very create whoop i'm drop dropping the
7:42
trout oh i am now standing over the
7:44
the home plate gate here this that's
7:46
where i walked in you see the big helmet
7:48
over in the don julio club there is a
7:51
fountain
7:52
wow yeah the dawn i'm not allowed in the
7:54
don julio club
7:56
we can kind of peek in there's a water
7:58
fountain over there with the angels a
8:00
with the halo
8:02
check that out that's fancy
8:05
oh and you can get a photo of well i
8:07
can't go past these stanchions
8:09
but if i was allowed in there i could
8:11
get a photo over there
8:12
at the don julio club wall now this is a
8:15
place steve urkel would be proud of
8:17
got any cheese i'm gonna go check out my
8:20
seats first and then figure out food
8:22
after that i am up on the escalator now
8:24
while i'm off the escalator had to go up
8:27
one set
8:28
of moveable stairs and now up another
8:31
set
8:32
of movable stairs of course also known
8:34
as
8:35
escalator this is the parking lot at
8:38
current time right now
8:39
it is 12 12 so it's less than an hour
8:42
to first pitch plenty of parking spots
8:45
you can see
8:46
the matterhorn the icy slopes of the
8:48
matterhorn from disneyland off in the
8:50
distance i'll zoom in
8:51
i know it's a little blurry because i'm
8:52
kind of doing the extreme zoom but if
8:54
you look in the center of the screen
8:55
just to the side of that building that
8:57
is the matterhorn that house that is how
8:59
close disneyland is
9:01
to angel stadium with there still being
9:03
42 43 minutes before
9:05
first pitch went and found my seat there
9:07
was nobody up in these sections so i
9:08
decided to take the far
9:10
corner all the way to the corner not my
9:12
seat but there's no one up here
9:13
just to kind of get the angle of what
9:15
the farthest seat here at angel stadium
9:17
would be
9:17
and as more folks make their way in
9:19
through this gate
9:20
i'm gonna go ahead and get my i think
9:22
i'm gonna go find that big a burger
9:24
oh dang though you know what this is
9:25
also kind of kind of tempting
9:28
this hot dog stand they have the angel
9:29
dog here they have a bratwurst they have
9:32
nachos with extra cheese yeah i don't
9:35
know that you know maybe i'll go with
9:36
that instead
9:37
okay this is good this is on this level
9:39
the sweet shop so because it is national
9:41
ice cream day
9:42
after i have some snacks and meals i'll
9:44
come back over here and get myself a
9:45
little scoop of ice cream
9:47
i have to go down back down to the lower
9:48
level to get to the burger place but
9:50
showing the field from this perspective
9:52
before walking back down one level just
9:54
want to show the seats way off over
9:56
there in the distance
9:58
of where i will be sitting somewhere in
9:59
that area and as i head down the ramp
10:02
you can see the big a there right off
10:04
the freeway
10:06
the traffic going by and the hills off
10:08
in the distance okay i found it i found
10:10
another one of the big a burgers i'm
10:12
gonna give this a try they have burgers
10:14
and fries now since i'm gonna be doing
10:16
an array of snacks throughout the course
10:18
of the day i just went with a single
10:19
cheeseburger
10:20
which was ten dollars i opted out of the
10:22
combo the combo
10:24
and i got an extra large dasani 675 is a
10:27
lot but it's a it's a it's a whole liter
10:30
you know it's it's game prices are not
10:32
are not inexpensive but
10:34
i didn't want to get the fries the one
10:36
liter
10:37
there's a little bit of salt in dasani
10:39
that's okay he'll wash down my burger
10:41
that's in there to get to the top there
10:44
was another escalator but i decided to
10:46
just take this
10:48
this walkway where no one is utilizing
10:51
oh they even have some some chicken
10:53
sandwiches here at the coop
10:55
chicken tenders and fries that's good
10:58
for future reference there's also a brew
11:00
house
11:01
taking my walk back over to the sea all
11:04
right let's just see how this
11:06
big a burger really is
11:09
i have to admit this is a pretty tasty
11:11
burger it kind of has like a secret
11:12
sauce i don't want to call it like a
11:13
similar to like a big mac
11:15
sauce
11:19
it is now 107 first
11:22
pitch and i gotta say the stands have
11:25
filled up
11:26
quite a bit in fact there are quite a
11:29
few people
11:30
i gotta hand it to everyone down there
11:32
in the lower levels out in the at the
11:34
at the 1pm sun it is yeah it's
11:37
it's toasty down there gotta hand it to
11:39
them
11:40
now just to give an example i was
11:42
sitting on that second deck up over on
11:44
on the third base side two weeks ago
11:47
against the orioles
11:48
and right there on the ledge of the
11:49
second level up 100
11:52
tickets versus the nine dollars where
11:54
i'm at
11:55
i kind of wonder how much the ones right
11:57
down their field level next to the
11:59
next to the dugout would cost also oh
12:02
also i moved up a few seats at some
12:04
point during the game i might move over
12:05
to the
12:06
first base side up on that little upper
12:08
deck as well as of this moment these are
12:10
the aos standings
12:12
see both teams that are playing today
12:13
are kind of kind of about the same boat
12:15
right there in the middle ah just got a
12:18
double play
12:19
nice angel's got a double play against
12:21
the mariners oh the ball's out in the
12:22
outfield now what happened
12:24
somebody got themselves a souvenir
12:27
there is something really relaxing about
12:29
a baseball game add in the fact that i
12:31
have plenty of elbow room and there's
12:33
really no one around me there's a few
12:35
people in this area but not too many
12:37
plenty of space for the nine dollars
12:40
i kind of don't dislike it i kind of
12:42
don't hate it i do enjoy good seats
12:44
being able to see the game up close and
12:47
personal
12:48
but for the drastic price difference to
12:50
be from this distance
12:52
still tell what's going on i'm kind of
12:54
into it it's kind of it's kind of a nice
12:56
little vibe
12:57
every once in a while to not have the
12:59
perfect seats and kind of be away
13:02
from the action and in the shade i'm
13:05
liking i'm digging it
13:06
now don't get me wrong over time i will
13:08
get some of the outfield seats
13:10
or even along the first base oh there's
13:12
a pop-up on the first base line or even
13:15
behind home plate
13:16
some of the more pricey seats yeah i
13:19
just kind of want to mix things up a bit
13:21
and also i believe these up here might
13:23
be nine dollar seats too
13:25
which is a little bit closer to the to
13:27
the action all the upper deck here or
13:30
worst case you could just kind of slide
13:32
over on a day game where there's not a
13:34
lot of
13:35
a lot of people occupying the seats
13:38
taking care of business kind of have
13:40
those little sliders that go across the
13:41
dirt to pave out the dirt
13:43
keep it all smooth down there you can
13:45
see the portals there where the
13:46
fireworks will go out or emitted from
13:48
if there's ever a home run or during
13:50
player introduction at the beginning
13:51
what's interesting to me is the grass on
13:54
either side the astroturf
14:00
where there could be more seats maybe it
14:03
has to be
14:04
it has to be with an issue with the you
14:06
know the pyrotechnics you don't want to
14:08
be sitting too close to that
14:09
but that is a lot of open space where if
14:12
there's a home run hit
14:14
hit no one can get to it justin scarred
14:25
all right says get loud
14:25
everyone's getting a little loud this
14:27
could be good
14:28
i'm noticing a lot of people are heading
14:30
up away from the elements a lot of the
14:32
shaded areas are now filling up people
14:34
that have tickets down there
14:35
oh that was a strike which does make
14:37
sense because it is
14:38
nice and cool up here in comparison but
14:41
usually it's
14:42
everyone takes the more inexpensive
14:44
seats up here and moves down
14:46
it seems like everyone that's down there
14:47
for the first few innings is moving up
14:49
to the less inexpensive seats just to
14:52
get out of the sun
14:54
oh struck them out heading's over you
14:57
never want to leave the bases loaded
14:59
in that kind of position by the way
15:00
someone else has procured the spot i was
15:02
in earlier see if it was just kind of
15:04
shifting seats up
15:07
speaking of home runs mariners just hit
15:10
a home run
15:10
into that little area there where
15:13
anybody in the stands cannot recover it
15:16
quite a bit of booze happening
15:28
and the home run ball was was gotten by
15:28
this employee down here
15:33
oh it was a foul ball and someone
15:35
reached over the edge there almost got
15:38
it
15:50
oh it looks like the home run ball was
15:50
handed to someone in the bullpen
15:52
right there that's pretty nice they
15:56
could give it to whoever hit the home
15:57
run
15:58
giving back to the mariners someone on
15:59
the pitching in the bullpen over there
16:03
will probably give it to his teammate
16:04
it's always good when you hit a home run
16:06
to get the
16:07
ball back as a player doesn't happen
16:08
often
16:10
i'm now eyeballing the next seat i would
16:12
like to move over to
16:14
not behind home plate on the upper deck
16:16
but i'm
16:18
kind of visually
16:22
thinking about over here there's just a
16:25
base hit
16:25
by the mayor and there's also this is a
16:28
look at some of the outfield seats
16:30
kind of from this angle see there's no
16:33
one sitting in this section because it's
16:34
so sunny i could move right
16:36
down there if i so chose if i wanted to
16:38
go right down there i could but it's a
16:39
little too warm for that
16:41
just gonna make my way around this way
16:42
okay i've kind of reached the far end
16:44
over here by the scoreboard
16:46
yeah take a look the seats i want to get
16:50
are
16:50
going to be up here
16:57
where i was was on that other far corner
16:57
zoom into where i was just seating
17:05
right over in there
17:20
up another another home run

17:22
same little grassy aster turf area

17:37

17:54
happening as i make my way to the top
17:56
not sure what play just happened that it
17:58
caused everyone to be booing but you can
17:59
see this area is kind of filled up a
18:01
little bit too
18:02
just in the short few minutes that i
18:03
took me to walk from over there
18:05
everyone kind of has the same general
18:07
idea something i really
18:08

19:28
jalapeno on there
19:34
maybe we'll get a strikeout if my taste
19:34
buds
19:35
start striped
19:47
do you ever contemplate what some of the
19:47
outfielders are thinking about the
19:49
entire game
19:52
standing around out there now they are
19:54
getting into the position
19:55
obviously they are paying a lot of
19:58
attention but they do have a lot of time
20:01
with their thoughts but the infield does
20:03
as well
20:04
there seems to be a little bit more
20:06
action in the infield
20:08
than the outfield sometimes they
20:10
probably get a lot of banter
20:12
from those in the and the bleachers oh
20:15
there goes a
20:17
there goes a dub look at that
20:20
a dub going by look at it it's circling
20:23
the stadium
20:26
it's coming back this way it's coming
20:29
back this way the dove look
20:31
look at this it's heading up here for my
20:33
nachos
20:34
okay it's gone as of right now angels
20:37
are down six
20:38
to zero oh yeah
20:43
seven minute stretch just happened ah
20:47
stretching the old arms and legs you
20:48
know i rip them over there right there
20:50
if i walk and stretch a little bit that
20:51
way but
20:52
seventh inning stretch just happened
20:54
okay now it's time the sweet shop
20:56
i'm gonna get myself a helmet sunday i
20:59
have procured
21:00
a sunday helmet with the
21:04
angels logo on there even though it's
21:05
upside down this reminds me of dairy
21:07
queen back in the day
21:09
when i was a lot younger i would get the
21:11
dairy queen helmets i had quite a
21:12
collection
21:14
i'm also going down to the middle level
21:16
i opted for the swirl
21:17
chocolate and vanilla mix get the
21:20
sprinkles
21:21
you know truthfully that ice cream's
21:24
really tasty
21:26
ice cream is really good
21:49
like grass here there's signs saying
21:49
do not go past that subject to a rest if
21:52
you go over that fence
21:53
don't do it this would also be a good
21:56
spot to kind of stand in the shade
21:58
and just wait for a home run ball you
22:00
know if there was a home run ball
22:02
so this is what it's like to sit in the
22:04
sun
22:06
this is a good spot to to catch some
22:07
home run balls assuming a home run ball
22:10
is hit out my wed nope
22:21
it's a possibility though ninth inning
22:21
maybe luck will go my way
22:24
home run ball right in my direction
22:27
you imagine definitely wasn't going to
22:30
get one
22:31
up there north
22:34
up there
22:39
maybe right here it's hot here it's warm
22:43
the sun is permeating
22:54
this is the last chance for the angels
22:54
to pull through
22:55
down seven to two three outs left
23:00
the game is over
23:07
angel's just got a base hit there's a
23:07
man on first no house
23:17
other side of the outfield i was over
23:18
a minute ago and now i'm over here
23:23
i could be sitting but i'm just standing
23:25
i might keep moving and a home run might
23:27
go my way
23:28
now at two outs ohtani's up
23:32
could get the last out or could deliver
23:34
a little magic
23:36
a foul ball off to the side there
23:40
it hit one out here i'll be fine with
23:41
that
23:43
oh there it is there it is
23:46
oh i was over there i was over there
23:50
i moved too soon i was in that spot
23:53
my camera battery died so i pulled my
23:55
phone out because i knew something was
23:57
going to happen
23:58
so now i'm back to using my my g7x but i
24:01
use that last clip on my
24:02
on my iphone is now seven to four still
24:05
two outs though
24:07
but that was exciting enough to get
24:10
seattle worried enough to have the
24:11
bullpen
24:12
a little activity in the bullpen
24:19
there are however two strikes
24:30
oh yeah getting hot and heavy in the
24:40
that's it that's the game struck him out
24:40
that oh this guy's stoked
24:41
did have a little excitement there
24:43
towards the end though so that was
24:44
pretty cool
24:45
that was a fun day that's gonna do it
24:49
also they're doing a little a little
24:51

25:26

25:28
with the halo on it yeah fun i got to
25:31
kind of wander around
25:32
i had the worst seats anywhere in the
25:34
stadium it would be that
25:36
the far end on both the first and third
25:38
base side went to both pinnacles
25:40
and i just kind of wandered around there
25:42
