Description

Vidor loudly protests the Dodger Stadium facilities: “Here, patrons who have paid three and a half dollars per seat, move painfully up to a common metal trough”

TLS, one page, 8.5 x 11, personal letterhead, May 23, 1974. Letter to Jim Murray at the L. A. Times loudly protesting the facilities at Dodger Stadium. In part: “Have you ever had to stand in line in the men’s room on the lower level of the Dodger Stadium…Without a doubt, I think it is the most inadequate and disgraceful facility of a major stadium in the world…Here, patrons who have paid three and a half dollars per seat, move painfully up to a common metal trough. The design of these toilet rooms would be inadequate for the friends and fathers at a Little League play-off. During a recent game, it was necessary that I avail myself of this unbelievable facility. I believe every man in that shoulder-to-shoulder group, of five across and ten deep, deeply resented the indignity to which he was subjected.” In fine condition, with scattered light creasing. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RRAuction COA.
