The Los Angeles Dodgers\u2019 home opener is only days away, and two fans are preparing to experience Dodger Stadium from the comfort of their own home.<\/p>\n
Rob and Kate Banks live so close to the stadium that they can hear the roars and screams before they play out on TV.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou can feel the energy, hear the organ (and) see the fireworks in the backyard,\u201d Rob Banks said. \u201cIt\u2019s an energy that feels really special.\u201d<\/p>\n
The couple owns one of the few homes that can see inside the stadium and can walk there in five minutes.<\/p>\n
They\u2019ll cook food at home and avoid the hassle of parking before heading over for games.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s like Margaritaville,\u201d Rob Banks said. \u201cIt\u2019s really easy, and getting out of the game is perfect.\u201d<\/p>\n
Banks said his favorite Dodger memory is from the longest World Series game in 2018, when he watched Max Muncy hit a walk-off home run against the Boston Red Sox.<\/p>\n
He\u2019s hopeful the Dodgers will be able to repeat their success from the last two seasons.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s going to be an incredible year,\u201d Banks said. \u201cI think it\u2019s a three-peat for sure.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Dodgers\u2019 season opener is against the Arizona Diamondbacks at 5 p.m. Thursday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Los Angeles Dodgers\u2019 home opener is only days away, and two fans are preparing to experience Dodger…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":541445,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[65],"tags":[22360,2323,363,99],"class_list":["post-541444","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mlb","tag-dodger-stadium","tag-los-angeles-dodgers","tag-mlb","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/541444","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=541444"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/541444\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/541445"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=541444"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=541444"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=541444"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
