At first glance, the cheap seats at Dodger Stadium don't seem all that cheap anymore, as a ticket in the right-field pavilion will cost you $40 for the 2007 season.
But if you're a big fan of ballpark concessions, that might be a decent deal. That's because the bleacher seat also comes with an endless supply of Dodger Dogs.
According to a report in the Los Angeles Times, the Dodgers are converting the right-field pavilion into an all-you-can-eat section. So for the aforementioned $40 (just $35 if the ticket is purchased in advance), fans will be entitled to an endless supply of food and drinks, including hot dogs, peanuts and soda ... but not beer, which hasn't been sold in the pavilion for years.
The team reportedly tested the concept several times last season and found enough support to make it permanent for 2007.
"The fans really liked it," Dodgers spokeswoman Camille Johnston told the Times. "We know it's a good option for groups."
The report cited a major league executive who said fans spend an average of $12.30 on food and drink per game. Given that tickets in the left-field pavilion at Dodger Stadium will run $8 in 2007 (for advance purchase), you'd have to spend more than double that amount on average to make the difference in price for the all-you-can-eat section worth your while. Not that it can't be done.
