The Los Angeles Dodgers’ 2023 season begins this week with a home game against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Thursday, March 30.
Thousands of Dodger fans will be flocking to the stadium this season and while it’s part of the game to fill up on Dodger dogs and beer at the field, there are also plenty of places fans can head to before and after games for food and drinks.
