Editorial Review for Dodger Stadium – by Eric Rorer
The Venue
At a time when baseball modernity has defined itself through references to distant history, Dodger Stadium stands as an artifact of the recent past, a forsaken time when bigger was better. This 56,000-seat stadium nestled in Chavez Ravine, honors that era, brashly and beautifully defying the current belief that baseball requires a small, intimate theater. Recent renovations, providing more parking, new suites and an expanded dugout section have only accentuated the stadium's expansive allure. Over the next 50 years, a stadium improvement plan will transform acres of parking lots into a landscaped walkway around the perimeter of the stadium, and add a striking tree-lined entrance leading to a grand plaza and a bustling promenade. The project's motto will be "Think Blue, Act Green," a sign of their efforts to make the stadium as environmentally responsible as possible.
The Experience
Ever since its 1962 debut, Dodger Stadium has been hugely popular with Angelenos, who have purchased more than 176 million tickets to Dodger games, including 3 million in 1978, making the stadium the first in the majors to hit that mark. Certainly the fans abide by the L.A. traditions of late arrival and early exit, but there's still a special electricity to the crowd, an electricity that glows pure Dodger blue.

It's always a great experience going to Dodger Stadium to watch a baseball game. The view of the playing field is breathtaking and sometimes was more entertaining than watching the Dodgers stink up the place with their lackluster offense and pourous defense last season. No matter what, the blue crew is my team through thick and thin. The Dodger management does have to do something about the "Raider Nation" element that seems to have permeated into the cheaper seats of Dodger Stadium. It just makes it difficult to bring younger ones when you have drunk cholos trying to start fights in the stands.
Pros: The Dodgers, Dodger Dogs, The Field
Cons: The influx of Raider Nation attitude
