Dodger Stadium, Baseball stadium in Los Angeles, United States
Description
Dodger Stadium is a baseball venue in Los Angeles built with a symmetrical layout and tiered seating. The stands provide an open view of the playing field and, at the same time, of the San Gabriel Mountains in the background.
History
The venue opened on April 10, 1962, after more than 7.5 million cubic meters of earth were moved in Elysian Park. The construction work created a level surface on originally hilly terrain, laying the foundation for a new home for the Dodgers.
Culture
Fans gather here regularly for baseball games and observe rituals like the seventh-inning stretch, when everyone in the crowd stands up. The atmosphere is shaped by shared chants, eating hot dogs, and a strong sense of community that connects generations of supporters.
Practical
The grounds include parking areas for vehicles, many snack stands, and several access levels for visitors. The best views of the field and mountains are usually found in the middle sections, while the upper tiers offer a broader overview.
Did you know?
The venue remains the largest baseball-only facility in the world and was built using more than 21,000 precast concrete elements. Some of these components weigh up to 32 tons and form the supporting framework of the entire structure.
