The Los Angeles Dodgers lost 6-2 to the Milwaukee Brewers in National League Championship Series Game 3 on Wednesday, Oct. 14, leaving Los Angeles down 3-0 in the best-of-seven series. A potential elimination game was scheduled for Thursday, Oct. 15, according to the source material.
Video from the upper levels of Dodger Stadium showed open seats during the game and drew attention online. In a Fox News OutKick column published Thursday, columnist Zach criticized the visible gaps, describing them as an embarrassing showing for a franchise he characterized as one of Major League Baseball’s marquee teams. Those judgments are the columnist’s opinion, rather than independently established facts.
The column said the empty seats remained visible in the sixth inning. It rejected traffic, ticket costs and cold weather as explanations, but the source provides no direct comments from Dodgers fans, the team or stadium officials confirming why some seats were unoccupied. It also does not include an official attendance figure, a count of vacant seats or information about whether ticket holders were present elsewhere in the ballpark.
The piece cited tickets for Game 4 advertised on StubHub for as little as $80. That figure refers to listed prices on a resale platform, as reported in the column; the supplied material does not specify ticket availability, fees or the final price paid by buyers.
The column compared the scene with criticism of attendance at Tampa Bay Rays playoff games, while arguing that the Dodgers should face different expectations because of the club’s profile. It also praised the atmosphere at Milwaukee’s home ballpark and said the Brewers could provide a more appealing World Series setting. Those comparisons and assessments are commentary, not measured attendance or crowd-noise data.
On the field, the Dodgers allowed consecutive home runs in the seventh inning, according to the column, and ended the game with a four-run loss. The supplied report offers no further game statistics or responses from either club. It also does not establish whether the video represented the entire stadium or the crowd at other points in the game.
