I decided to forgo public transpo and the dodger shuttle and ended up driving to the collisuem and paying the $25 for parking. I was amazed and how little traffic there was. It took me about 20 minutes to get there and park from the South end of the 110 and it only took about 30 minutes to get home. I got there around 5pm and left at the top of the ninth. The only real trouble I had was that all the left turn lanes on flower were closed so I had a hard time getting onto the freeway. It really is sad how this city really is made only for drivers and that public transportation is so reliably slow.

While there was no organization, it wasn't chaos by any stretch of the imagination. Granted my sciatica wasn't happy with me for the total of 5 hours I waited in line for the buses, but it wasn't a mob scene. But I do agree that there should have been more buses.

agreed on the transportation remark. we parked at chavez ravine and took the shuttle to the coliseum. we got to the lot at 4pm (3 hrs before the game) and had to wait in a snaking line for almost an hour to get on a shuttle. we didn't even make it into the coliseum until around 6. after the game, organization was poor getting people on buses, and the area where they were loading people wasn't even lighted. while a great experience at the park, one thing that was clear was that those in charge of planning for the game did not have much of a 'plan' for getting the 40,000 or so that parked at dodger stadium there or back with any sort of organization.
