Any suggestions on parking around the stadium?

also any good bars around there to get some beers?

The whole area has bars, so finding a place to drink won't be problem. Parking will be a huge issue if you don't go very very early... you migh tbe better off parking on one of the train lines (Red), and taking the "L" to the stadium.

If you haven't bought tickets yet... go bleachers... best place to see the game hands down.

Take lots of gum.

Seriously, perhaps the last of the old ball parks. I remember when they added lights to play night games. I love the brick wall in the outfield. Most of the SoCal guys on the forum probably don't know we had a Wrigley Field right here in Los Angeles. It's where the Angles played when they were in the Pacific Coast League. They played their first seasons in the Majors there too, until Anahiem Stadium was built.

Have fun.

Take public transportation. The "L" stops right there. I have friends who live a couple of miles away. People park in their neighborhood for games.

Public transportation is cheaper than parking. I remember as a kid, skippinng school and going to the season opener with a few class mates.
