Dodgers Adding Bar Stools To Drink Rails Behind Home Plate

Dodgers' online seat map indicates that 117 rail positions are available as bar stool seatsMLB

The Dodgers are "adding stools to the drink rails behind home plate on the field level" at Dodger Stadium this season, according to Bill Shaikin of the L.A. TIMES. The new "field drink rail" seats are most often "priced from $90 to $125 per game, although they are available for $67 for two weekday afternoon games and $140 for three particularly popular games." Dodgers Senior VP/Planning & Development Janet Marie Smith said that the team "removed the back few rows of field-level seats" in '13 to "ease congestion in the concourse and make it appear 'more open and airier.'" The Dodgers' online seat map "indicates 117 rail positions are available as bar stool seats." Bar stool seating is "increasingly popular in baseball, as teams create gathering spots for fans seeking a different and often more communal way to see a game" (LATIMES.com, 3/20). Meanwhile, the AP noted the Dodgers will "pay tribute to one of baseball's most celebrated home runs by introducing a 'Kirk Gibson seat' at Dodger Stadium." The seat will be "added in the right field pavilion at the spot where Gibson's game-ending homer landed" during Game 1 of the '88 World Series. The chair will be "painted blue and feature Gibson's signature." Tickets will "cost $300 for a package that includes a companion seat, two commemorative T-shirts and food and drink." The Dodgers will "donate $200 from each purchase to the Kirk Gibson Foundation to raise money and awareness for Parkinson's research" (AP, 3/19).
