点评:My wife and I spent two days at loanDepot park this past weekend watching the Dodgers take on the Marlins. Unfortunately, our Dodgers managed to lose both games, but attending games on consecutive days gave us a pretty good opportunity to experience the stadium.
We used Uber from our hotel. The designated rideshare pickup area is East Lot 1 at 1380 NW 6th Street. Drop-off was fairly easy, but leaving after the final out was another story. Expect a crowd of people waiting for Uber, Lyft, Waymo, taxis, and other rides. Staff did a good job calling out passengers’ names when their rides arrived, but there isn’t much protection from the weather while you wait.
One improvement I would suggest is adding an overhead cover to the rideshare pickup and drop-off area. Some shade and protection from the rain would make a big difference when waiting for a ride, especially with Miami’s heat and unpredictable weather.
My wife used a clear bag Saturday and switched to a small clutch-sized bag Sunday, which was allowed through security. The current policy permits clear bags up to 16”x16”x8” and small clutches up to 6”x8”. There are also four garages and six surface lots around the stadium for anyone who would rather drive.
Once inside, the air conditioning is a huge plus. The stadium stayed very comfortable, which makes a major difference in Miami. Everything we saw was clean, and there was a nice selection of food beyond the standard ballpark choices. My wife had BBQ pork nachos Saturday and a chicken arepa Sunday, while I went traditional with a hot dog, popcorn, and soda. There’s also a 50/50 raffle.
We experienced two different seating areas. Saturday we sat on the lower level underneath speakers. Between the speakers and crowd noise, the volume could get uncomfortable at times. Sunday we had field-level seats without speakers overhead, which was much better. However, the sightline toward second base could easily be blocked when someone in front stood up or even leaned forward.
One nice feature of our field-level seats was being able to order food and drinks directly from the seats. It’s convenient, but keep in mind you’re paying an additional premium on top of already expensive stadium food and drinks.
We purchased our tickets through SeatGeek and had no problems.
Overall, I’d give loanDepot park 4 out of 5 stars. It’s clean, extremely comfortable thanks to the A/C, and has a solid variety of food. I’d recommend checking your seat location carefully, allowing extra time if you’re using rideshare after the game, and being prepared for the weather while waiting for your ride. Adding a covered rideshare waiting area would be a great improvement to the overall fan experience.
And if you’re a visiting Dodgers fan, hopefully your team has better luck than ours did this weekend!
翻译:上周末,我和妻子在LoanDepot公园度过了两天时光,观看道奇队对阵马林鱼队的比赛。可惜的是,道奇队两场比赛都输了。不过连续两天观看比赛也让我们有机会充分体验这座体育场。
我们从酒店叫了Uber。指定的拼车上下车点位于西北第6街1380号的东区1号停车场。乘车抵达还算顺利,但比赛结束后想离开可就没那么容易了。可以预料到会有很多人在那里等候Uber、Lyft或Waymo的车。出租车及其他接送服务。当乘客的车辆到达时,工作人员能很好地喊出乘客的姓名,但在等待期间基本上没有什么避风遮雨的措施。
我建议的一项改进措施就是在拼车上下客区加装顶棚。有一点遮阴和挡雨设施对于等待车辆的人来说会大有帮助,尤其是在迈阿密这种炎热且天气多变的地区。周六,我的妻子使用了一个透明袋,周日则换成了一个小号手拿包,后者顺利通过了安检。目前的规定允许携带尺寸不超过16英寸×16英寸×8英寸的透明袋,以及尺寸不超过6英寸×8英寸的小手拿包。此外,体育场周边还有四个地下停车场和六个地面停车场,供那些选择开车前来的观众使用。
进入体育场后,空调系统真是一大亮点。场内始终保持着非常舒适的气温,这在迈阿密尤为重要。我们所见到的一切都十分整洁。除了那些常见的球场食品外,这里还有不少不错的选择。周六,我妻子吃了烧烤猪肉纳乔,周日则吃了鸡肉阿雷帕;我则选择了传统套餐:热狗、爆米花和汽水。此外还有50/50抽奖活动。
我们体验了两种不同的座位区。周六我们坐在下层区域,头顶就是扬声器。由于扬声器声音和观众喧闹声叠加,音量有时大得让人不舒服。周日我们坐在球场平面上的座位区,头顶没有扬声器,体验就好多了。不过,如果前面有人站起来甚至向前倾身,通往二垒的视线就很容易被挡住。
我们购买的场地层座位有个不错的功能,就是可以直接从座位上点餐和买饮料。这确实很方便,但请记住:体育场里的食品和饮料本就价格不菲,这样额外付费实际上又增加了开支。
我们是通过SeatGeek购买门票的,整个过程毫无问题。
总的来说,我会给LoanDepot公园4星的评价(满分5星)。那里很干净、由于有空调,场内极其舒适,食物的种类也相当丰富。我建议大家仔细确认自己的座位位置;如果赛后要使用拼车服务,请预留出额外的时间;在等候车辆时也要做好应对天气变化的准备。要是能增设一个有顶棚的拼车等候区,那将极大提升球迷的整体观赛体验。
而对于远道而来的道奇队球迷们,希望你们的球队本周末能比我们的球队运气要好一些!
