After saying goodbye, we headed to USC, which is where we would stay for the next 3 nights.  We stopped by the football stadium, which was built for the 1928 Summer Olympics, and also to the new Galen Arena.  After this, it was time to go through LA traffic and towards Anaheim for the Angels game.

The stadium is on the older side, but massive renovations have kept it nice and modern looking.  The outside is especially cool, as they have a full size field in the brick and the names of every player ever to start at each respective position on that season's opening day.  Also, two huge helmets and bats flank the home plate gate.  The inside was pretty standard, but one defining feature is the rock garden and fountain in center field. 

The Angels took on the Texas Rangers.  The two pitchers, Kelvim Escobar and Kevin Millwood kept the hitters in check for practically the whole game.  Going into the bottom of the 9th, the game was tied 1 to 1.  After a Gary Matthews Jr. double and a sacrifice that advanced him to third, Casey Kotchman stepped up with a game winning single to right field.  The crowd went nuts, and then all stayed for a special Friday night fireworks show to the theme of California songs.  See you tomorrow on the beach!
