We're in a really good place right now.

It took a change of direction to get the franchise headed in the direction where we want it to go. If things had been perfect, it would be steady at the helm. We were looking to change direction. There was debate, discussion. If it was not done, we never would have achieved the results. Overall, I'm very pleased with what we've achieved. Now we're headed in a great direction. We're in a far better place.

It took a change in directions to get the franchise heading in the direction where we wanted it to go.

We were able to exactly replicate the colors on those seats.

The undertaking here to restore this great ballpark -- the fourth oldest in all the Majors -- is really a most enjoyable thing to do. This is the second of five or six phases, as we set out to restore the entire ballpark -- that's something that we believe our fans deserve.

What we're trying to do with this restoration is to really balance the history and tradition and the greatness of this wonderful facility with improvements that we make, that give our fans the amenities that they would have in any other new ballpark in America. So that's what we are trying to do, to look forward but respect the past, and to continue to move this franchise and this great venue, Dodger Stadium, into the future.

As we deliberated about colors, someone spotted the samples of the original seats that were installed here in 1962. Somebody had the presence of mind to store them in a warehouse and label them, so we were able to exactly replicate the original colors with these new seats.

The original architects aimed for what was really a quintessential, mid-century, California type of color. I think they got it just right. Sometimes it's just best to recognize when something is done just right the first time and try to duplicate it as best you can.

We were able to bring the life back to the concrete. We were able to treat it like it was new, so it will be able to withstand another 50 years of active use.

That in turn gave us additional leg room, and we used that leg room to install an old-fashioned field-box amenity, a baseball box for four or eight seats, where you have your own piece of Dodger Stadium. Because we have the extra leg room, as a result from removing the rows, we were able to put in a table amenity and some storage area.

We decided to put in a park and picnic area. It will accommodate about 500 people for groups. We wanted to find incredibly mature landscaping, installed in such a way that it will create a park-like setting that was consistent with all the other beautiful landscaping that exists around Dodger Stadium.

I had no expectations. As I said to my wife, recently, I might be reviewed in the New York Times Book Review... And then I'd get my Library of Congress catalog number. And then I'd recede into obscurity and I'd get a job like everybody else.

I'm not one of those James Joyce intellectuals who can stand back and look at the whole edifice... It was a slow process for me to just crawl out of it, like a snake leaving his skin behind.

My childhood here... was very limited. So it was a long, long time before I actually went out to Brooklyn.

I can't go too much into my domestic life because there are ex-wives ready to do me in.
