Mostly full!

Mary Hart, the longtime host of Entertainment Tonight, has been a familiar face behind home plate at Dodger Stadium for years.

Her Legend Club section seat is one of the most demanded in the stadium, costing around a whopping $1500 a game.

But for Hart and her husband, television producer Burt Sugarman, it’s never just about the price.

They’ve made attending Dodgers games an authentic tradition, often decked out in whole team gear, cheering every play like true fans.

Even when Hart leaves early, her seats rarely go unused. Her close friends, family, or trusted guests often take her spot when she leaves early, keeping the front-row experience alive for any individual who enjoys the game.

Beyond enjoying the MLB games, Hart has a history of providing access to donate her seats to groups like the Children’s Hospital Los Angeles, so they, as well as the family, can enjoy the top-level sports in one of the best seats of the stadium.

Her Love for Dodgers Is Decades Long

As many MLB fans, especially the Dodgers fans, know, Mary Hart has been part of the performers of the national anthem before several games.

This was possible thanks to former Dodgers manager Tommy Lasorda. When she moved to LA in the late 70s and was a bat girl during a game, the legend asked what her dream was.

The TV Personality responded that she would like to sing the national anthem, and just a month later, it was possible, which has now become part of long-term history.

Despite being regular attendees for decades, Mary and her husband have missed several Dodgers games over the past few years, raising concerns among fans.

Fans, worry not—it is reportedly due to their busy schedules, charity work, and media commitments.

Similar to the previous World Series Title and Fall Classic route, she will definitely be hoping to be in the first row for the playoff game at this time around.
