Why Two Dodgers Fans Love Their Second-Best Seats at Home Games
Local Fans Set to Experience Dodgers Opening Day from Their Backyard
As the Los Angeles Dodgers prepare for their highly anticipated home opener, local residents Rob and Kate Banks are uniquely positioned to enjoy the excitement directly from their backyard.
Living a mere five minutes from Dodger Stadium, the couple can hear the cheers and fanfare before the sounds travel to televisions across the region. “You can feel the energy, hear the organ, and see the fireworks in the backyard,” Rob Banks remarked. “It’s an energy that feels really special.”
The Banks’ home offers a rare vantage point, allowing them to indulge in the ambiance of game day without the hassle of parking. They have developed a routine of cooking meals at home before heading to the stadium for the games. “It’s like Margaritaville,” Rob Banks said. “It’s really easy, and getting out of the game is perfect.”
Reflecting on memorable moments, Rob cited the longest World Series game in 2018 as a personal highlight, recalling the thrill of witnessing Max Muncy hit a walk-off home run against the Boston Red Sox. With optimism for the upcoming season, he expressed his belief in the team’s potential for success. “It’s going to be an incredible year,” Banks said. “I think it’s a three-peat for sure.”
The Dodgers are set to kick off their season against the Arizona Diamondbacks at 5 p.m. on Thursday, setting the stage for another exciting chapter for fans and players alike.
