The host of ‘The Rich Eisen Show’ recently talked about skipping the All-Star Game at the Dodgers stadium. The reason behind it is entirely bizarre.

During his show, he said, “Getting in and out of the Dodger Stadium, the nightmare will literally make you rethink every priority in your life.” In addition, he said, “Now it’s a beautiful stadium,.. once you’re there, ‘oh my god’ once you see the backdrop, and you have helmet nachos and the history“.?

He recalled being brought up in Staten Island and watching the games as a kid. Watching the taillights of the cars leaving the stadium made him think, “what type of sports fan would leave a world series game to beat the traffic.” Furthermore, he said, he has now become one of those people.?
