Dodger Stadium, also known as Chavez Ravine, is the third oldest stadium in all of baseball. The 56,000-capacity stadium, which is the largest baseball, had its inaugural season in 1962. The stadium has hosted nine World Series Championships, two all-star games, and one perfect game. Home to many legendary players, Dodger stadium is one of the most historic baseball Stadiums in all of baseball.

In 1958, Dodgers owner Walter O’Malley moved the team from Brooklyn to Los Angeles. O’Malley made sure that the stadium seating represented the beautiful scenes of Los Angeles. Dodger’s stadium has five seating levels that are different colors and represent Southern California in different ways. Top deck, the highest level of Dodger Stadium, has light blue seats which represent the oceans and the sky. Reserved level, which has green seats, represents the landscape all around the stadium. In Loge level, the seats are a light orange that represents the sandy beaches. Lastly, field level seats that are yellow represent the sun because it is always sunny in Los Angeles.

In Dodger stadium’s 56 years of existence, it has witnessed championship teams, legendary calls, and memorable baseball games. There have been a total of seven no-hitters at Dodger Stadium, and in 1965 Sandy Koufax pitched perfection as the first and only Dodger to have pitched a perfect game. Dodgers have won a total of four World Series Championship. The most memorable World Series win was Kirk Gibson’s 1988 walk-off home run that was called by the legendary broadcaster Vin Scully.

Located on top of a hill, it can take some time to enter and exit Dodger Stadium. So the Dodgers have made it easier for fans to come in and out of the stadium by offering bus transportation from Union Stations and also easy access to UBER services. The Dodgers have recently proposed an aerial tramway or gondola that would be able to take fans back and forth from Union Station to Dodger Stadium. If approved, this project will be completed by the 2022 baseball season.

Although it’s one of the oldest stadiums, Dodger Stadium is still one of the most iconic and beautiful stadium in all of baseball. Dodger Stadium is a must see destination to any baseball fan because of the rich traditions and historic events the stadium has to offer. The atmosphere at Dodger Stadium is like no other, making it one of the top stadiums in baseball.
