The Big A from the A-level seats

Don't worry if you can't make it out to the Angels' game tonight.
You can watch it not once, but twice, on FSN.
Along the lines of the experiment that FSN did the last two seasons in giving viewers the experience of how a Lakers game looks and sounds like from the courtside seat at Staples Center, FSN West will suppliment tonight's Angels-Blue Jays game (7 p.m.) with a feed on FSN Prime Ticket to show you what it's like if you were in the field-level premiere seats.
The benefit: You hear more. You see things closer. There's very few commercial breaks. The downside: You'll misjudge every fly ball hit. And the rats might feel like they're under your feet.
FSN will have seven cameras positioned low in the first row of seats, from the first base foul pole to the third base foul pole, to let you see and hear what it's like. (Note the game plan graphic provided above by FSN). Also, reporter Bill Macdonald will be followed with a hand-held camera to talk to fans in those seats whose view you're blocking. He'll also talk to grounds crew members, visit the Diamond Club, talk to GM Bill Stoneman in his suite, talk to PA announcer David Courtney, the game's official scorer .. even the National Anthem singer.
The interview we want: the guy who operates the fountains in center field.
One other note: If you go back and forth between FSN West and FSN Prime Ticket, the feed on the later will be on a delay -- that's to help the sound editors take out any, ahem, player profanity that the mikes might pick up.
