Dodger Stadium mess
Melissa Lalum reports that some fans waited two hours in line to take a shuttle from Dodger Stadium to the
Coliseum.
Mike Barraza, 30, of Los Angeles, has been a Dodgers fan ever since the
days of Fernando Valenzuela. But he wasn't a fan of the Dodgers free shuttle service.
"I got in line at 5:30, I'm hoping to arrive by 8 p.m," Barraza said.
"Very poor organization. The line is moving fast, but they're
definitely overwhelmed."
Tony Jackson has covered the Dodgers for the Daily News since 2004 and has covered Major League Baseball on a regular basis since 1995. He previously covered the Colorado Rockies and Cincinnati Reds. He is a native of Springdale, Ark., and a graduate of the University of Arkansas.

And its only just begin. just wait till we hear the stories about trying to get the shuttles back to DT. It wasn't a good idea and I'm surprised that many fans even attempted it. I don't think the Dodgers are to blame for the execution, just to blame for even attempting it at all. A lot of the fans should have known better as well.

The Dodgers and all the press releases said "Get there early" and they meant it. We got to Dodger Stadium around 2:00 and got right on a shuttle. We left the game in the 7th and had to wait about 15 minutes in line for a shuttle back to the Stadium. So for us, it was great!

I'm standing in the bus line right now. (Posting from my Blackberry.) Been in line about an hour. LAPD on scene are saying it's a two-hour wait from here. Maybe I'll be home by 2 a.m.
Someone in the Dodgers organization screwed up pretty bad. I want to know how they're going to fix this.

My friend and I took a cab after waiting in that line after the game for an hour. One of the guys in line hopped on with us, and let me say that it was the greatest $25 dollars spent. Oh wait, wasn't that the price to park at the Coliseum? Over all, I give the whole shuttle experience an F.
