Don't just talk about it, do it. I've been to 25 (including a few that have closed) and I'll be going to Petco park next month. Comparing Dodger Stadium to Wrigley is a bit of a apples to oranges comparison. Although Dodger stadium is decades old it is in incredible shape. Tickets are cheap and readily available. The stadium has ample parking and great sight lines. From what I've observed the typical baseball fan in SoCal understands and appreciates the game but going to Chavez Ravine is more of a night out than anything else. Fans tend to come late and leave early. Traffic after the game is probably the worst of any stadium I've ever been to. Wrigley field is another experience all together. Parking is non-existant and when you can find a space it is $30. The concourses are narrow and dank and there are plenty of obstructed view seats. Walk up tickets can be scarce so you really need to order tickets in advance and get socked with the service charge. That being said Wrigley is awesome. History oozes from every crack. The fans are some of the best in baseball. They are on the edge of their seats for every pitch. They have the great 7th inning stretch ritual too. To me sitting in Wrigley Field on a sunny weekday afternoon is baseball nirvana. It is the true turn of the century Ballpark. I'm sure this will draw some criticism from my fellow Massachusetts residents but Wrigley filed really puts into perspective what a dump Fenway Park is.
To recap: If you're in LA and looking for something cool to do head to Dodger stadium for a layed back ball game. If you are a hardcore baseball fan then Wrigley field is your Mecca and I expect each of you to make a pilgrimage there some day.
