Another one of those crazy stories that you would never have heard about unless you lived in Atlanta or maybe had a newspaper that liked quirky stories like this. Thank you for digging this up and telling us this story. WOW!
Yeah, thing is, with those long ass boulevards in LA, he could have turned left on Katella and gone straight and still ended up in Long Beach never having gotten off that road
All the bus driver needed to see is the Big A sign approaching Anahein Stadium. Fully enclosed Anaheim Stadium destroyed the view of the outfield and moved the big A sign. That's the stadium where Dave Henderson crushed Angels hearts back in 1986, homering off Donnie Moore 1 strike away from Gene Mauch finally making to the world series.
This is very similar to what happened 6 years later with Leeds United in Turkey prior to their first leg semifinal match in the UEFA Cup vs Galatasaray. Like with the Falcons, Leeds were only staying 10 minutes away from the Ali Sami Yen Stadium (Galatasaray's stadium at the time) & in theory the driver should have easily driven them to the stadium. However the driver ended up driving Leeds United into the middle of Istanbul which is a full hour away from Ali Sami Yen. To make this even more crazy, the driver did not do this by accident as it was later revealed that he was a hardcore Galatasaray fan (heck he even had a Galatasaray scarf on the dashboard) & did this in order to completely ruin Leeds United preparation for the match. The detour & the reroute had an effect on Leeds as they lost the first leg 2-0 & lost the tie 4-2 on aggregate. This incident is largely forgotten about due to another more tragic incident from this match where two Leeds fans were stabbed to death by Galatasaray fans prior to kickoff.
As someone from OC, ending up in Long Beach is wild considering Angel Stadium is pretty easy to remember from that location (down Katella towards the 55)
Dang Anaheim Stadium has had some great players call that Stadium home. Eric Dickinson The Bus Jerome Bettis (no pun intended) Mike Trout, Shohei Ohtani, and the list goes on
Okay-that happened a few years before the falcons made it to their first Super Bowl and 1994was the rams 🐏 last season in Los Angeles before moving to saint Louis! 😮😮😮😮
While that game was going on, up north in San Francisco the 49ers got destroyed by the Eagles 40-8. Two weeks later, the 49ers and Falcons met in Atlanta for the lead in the NFC West, and the 49ers won 42-3. At the press conference after the game, Deion Sanders referred to the Georgia Dome as "my house," even though he was playing for the 49ers that season. After that loss to the Eagles, the 49ers only lost one game the rest of the season, the regular season finale against the Vikings, which the Niners already had the top seed locked up and the Vikings needing a win to clinch a division title, and went on to beat the Chargers in the Super Bowl, the last time the 49ers won the Super Bowl.
@matthewdaley746 Between 1995 and 1998 the Packers and 49ers met four straight years in the playoffs, and after losing the first three, the 49ers needed a miracle to win in the fourth meeting.
The Angels and their fans hated that setup. The renovation that wrapped up in the late '90s was badly needed. What I find hilarious is that the Rams moved to the O.C. due to the lack of sellouts at the then-cavernous Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum and even in the Big A, they still couldn't sell their home games out unless they hosted either the Raiders or the 49ers (both home games there vs. the then-San Diego Chargers were blacked out).
I don't know how it is elsewhere, but I know that visiting teams in Green Bay have a police escort from from the airport to the hotel when they get here, then a police escort from the hotel to Lambeau Field. So if a bus driver decides to do something like this in Green Bay now, let's just say it won't happen.
If you’re driving the visiting team’s bus to Lambeau field and you don’t see Packers fans mooning you, you’re going the wrong way. Just ask Randy Moss. 😏
Not only did that driver wind up in a different city, he also ended up in an entirely different county! That takes some doing. That wasn't just a wrong turn or missing an exit. I've done both of those things in my neck of the woods. I'm not sure how that driver wasn't reprimanded.

Yep. The tour that was shown in the video was done with no construction, and doesn't take into account this little area called Disneyland, which is around the same area. Either an event at Disneyland the same day of the game, resulting in roads needing to be blocked, or construction both could've easily resulted in an detour that took an alternate, longer route, combined with the game day traffic, I could easily see the driver being confused. BTW, looking at a map of the region, there's a route where turning one direction takes you to the stadium, another one that takes you onto I-5.
You popped me with that comparison. I would wonder why my driver was so drunk or otherwise impaired as to take me all the way to Annapolis when I wanted to go to the Ravens game. I would probably have the person pull over and let me out and get another Uber to get to the stadium probably as soon as I noticed we were in Anne Arundel County.
As JagG has less than 400 people viewing this video/week and even less likes, he would have been financially better if he would have posted a picture of Elton John and played the 1994 song "Can You Feel the Love Tonight” than cover this football game.

After the Rams moved to St. Louis, the bus driver moved to Springfield and drove the school bus for the town’s elementary school.

Also, the Braves played in the NL West … and that’s how the 103-win San Francisco Giants missed the 1993 postseason.

As someone who uses mass transit and lives in So Cal I am not shocked. The bus system is bad but it was even way worse in the 90s/
The bus driver's rating was lower than if he had spiked the ball in to the ground on every play.
After finding this out, it’s no wonder this game ended in an 8-5 score
That sounds like the plot for a "Hangover" movie. Did the driver, by any chance, look anything like Zach Galifianakis?
