I'll let @Blarg respond, but my take is San Berdo has always been pretty sketchy. Never liked rolling in that hood, though I've never been to a 66ers game so that area may be OK.

@Dave Saltzer has been there a lot, so he would know.

No, it is a area where there is little to nothing around it that is active at night. There is a nightclub, The Branding Iron, on the E street entrance that I would not consider going into but for the most part the downtown shuts down at night. No clubs, no sports bars, just a couple of fast food joints. You go to the game and leave. No big deal, you are not going to find anything to do anyway. Even during the day the Metro section just North is pretty devoid of any restaurants.

Very good advice

There isn't another team's message board in America that has to deal with that question.

We're also fortunate enough to talk about lasagna on a regular basis too.

I guess your a fan of the tv show 'the OC'.

I've been to two evening games in SB, one on July 4 and the other on Labor Day.    Never felt like the area itself was an issue.

I have never had a problem going to and from the stadium or in the stadium. There's not much around the stadium (in terms of food or other things either--but the stadium food there is relatively decent and reasonably priced--think 50% of Angel Stadium prices). I've taken my wife, kids, mother, etc. there and never had a problem inside the stadium. The stadium itself is less than a mile from the freeway. There are some gas stations nearby where I've never had a problem either. When I go, I just go there and go home (unless I get gas), so, it's never really a problem. 

Hope that helps.
