Narrative:

After receiving a briefing from 800-WX-brief; no tfr's were to be active along the planned flight path at the purposed time. A day VFR pleasure flight was conducted. When approaching dodgers stadium it was apparent that there was to be a game because of the number of cars in the parking lot. I was familiar with the normal procedure for games and tried to keep at least a 3 mile radius from the event; as flight over the tfr would not be possible because of class B airspace. While talking to another pilot on the CTAF in the area; it was suggested that I was in fact in the tfr rather than outside of it according to his information. Upon landing I called 800-WX-brief to find out why the tfr was not listed. The briefer explained that since it was a published NOTAM they were not required to brief it. Solely relying on flight service to check for tfr's is not adequate. Use of other methods is advisable in addition to 800-WX-brief.
