7 Dodger Stadium details you might not know 

Always cherish my trips to Dodger Stadium. Never forget my early trips with my Dad, a longtime baseball fan and native of Southern California. Had to get a Dodger Dog. I remember how clean the concourse was for the game. And how huge the place looked.

My grandparents were one of the original Chavez Ravine residents until they got pushed out by the housing authority with their eminent domain letters forcing them out. Nobody ever talks about that.

One thing that was not mentioned about Dodger Stadium is when it was first opened it was not Dodger Blue at all. The Stadium was a light aqua green color. The very first Major League Baseball game I ever attended was in Dodger Stadium on July 26, 1964. Sandy Koufax pitched against Willie Mays and the Giants. And believe it or not, the game did not sell out. Capacity at Dodger Stadium back then was 56,000. 49,429 showed up to see those future Hall of Famers. We were a family of 5 (2 adults and 3 children) and the total price for the tickets was $17. We spent $1.75 for hot dogs, $1.25 for the first round of soda pop, $1.40 for the second round. It was a very hot day! And we spent $1.50 for ice cream. We bought some visors for $.75, score cards were $.50, and parking was $1.00.

Went on the field during fan appreciation day in 1988. My dad had passed in September of 87. We took most of his cremated remains and spread them in the outfield. When Gibson hit the HR against the A’s we felt it was dad’s legs we spread that helped him up to bat.

im so old i remember when the top deck and pavilions were general admission. $2.50 and you sat wherever. but you were confined to whatever level your ticket was your good for. and parking was 2 bucks.

That's cool! I've never understood why baseball stadiums don't use their facilities more during the off-days or pregame. Maybe use it as a museum or meet and greet with past legends, using it as a tourist attraction as well.

also they used to have "bat Day" where they actually handed out bats at the entrance gate. imagine giving away free weapons today, lol

The best stadium in the United States. :)

Very cool! Grew up at Dodger Stadium in the 70s. Lots of joyful memories with my family here. I’ll forever be a Dodgers fan. Go Blue!!🧢⚾️💯❤️

Janet Marie Smith should be in the Baseball Hall of Fame, and not just for her contributions to Dodger Stadium.

Love these type of clips.

I would love to travel to not only Dodger stadium, but Wrigley,Fenway and Yankee Stadium.

My first time in Dodger Stadium was when I was 8 years old in 1966 and Sandy Koufax was pitching. I am not a big fan of the over sized rings. I like the oversized baseballs and numbers. I like the mid century modern feel of the stadium. Many case study houses were built in Southern California. This has to be the third oldest stadium in MLB and I hope it will never be torn down. It is such a classic design compared to the other stadiums built in different cities. The thing that upset me most was the Dodgers getting rid of Farmer John hot dogs. I was at a game a few months ago and the new hot dogs were just horrible. They were cold and tasteless. They were it on the grill for two seconds. I could tell the difference plus the Dodgers don’t have the onion machines anymore. One other issue that is very upsetting too. The new food management stopped Roger the peanut throwing vendor from throwing bags of peanuts. That was just so stupid. Roger is world famous and is a Dodger tradition. He is a Dodger ambassador and they need to bring him back to throwing his bags of peanuts.

I remember watching the 1962 Giants vs. Dodgers playoffs on television. The Giants came from behind to win the deciding game (as they did in dramatic fashion at the Polo Grounds in 1951). The reaction of some Dodger fans at the end of the game was to throw what appeared to be black seat cushions, all caught on camera. Nice way to show appreciation of their brand new stadium.

The very best baseball stadium in the country. Nothing but fantastic memories with hopefully many more to come

I am a Chicago boy who first visited Wrigley Field in 1962, after Wrigley, I like Dodger Stadium.

I purchased season seats at Dodger Stadium on the lower level in 1975. The cost: $280 per seat for all 80 home dates. Total cost $560. Those same seat today are $200 per seat per game.

So what you pay $150+ a ticket to sit in 60 year old seats see the different shades of Blue and get stuck in 4 hours of traffic. Sounds worth it

I haven’t been there in so long! It would be nice going back since they didn’t have the bobble heads and statues the last time I was there.

Dodger Stadium used to be a great value. Then Frank McCourt got involved and ruined everything. Now u gotta pay an arm and a leg to enjoy a nice time at the stadium.

There is just nothing like it! Reminds me of going to Disneyland as a kid for first time! Magical

Beautiful Baseball Park!

Beautiful host, beautiful video!

They didn't say anything about Chavez Ravine smh... 🤦

Good luck getting out of this corn maze.....took me 2.25 hours last time and it wasn't even a sell out

Amazeballs!!!!

Love my blue

My father was a big Dodgers fan when he was a kid in the 1980s.

Go Dodgers! Win another World Series Championship in 2022!

I'm still waiting for a 60th anniversary shirt!

I was just there!!! I’m in love

Keep it forever in use! A gem that must stay!

A classic and something that will continue get better and better. Now if they can get rid of McCourt…

Hey, remember that time they kicked native Angelenos out of Chavez Ravine so they could build Dodger stadium?

That's obviously to anyone.

A great look at Blue Heaven on Earth ! Let’s go DODGERS 2022 !!! ⚾️⚾️⚾️ ROGER, The LOS ANGELES DODGER

Hear that Rams? Logo has been are forever and only changed MODERATELY! The Dodgers won’t ruin their iconic look like your organization did.

You forgot to mention how they displaced a whole community. I’m a dodgers fan. But there’s a dark cloud that hovers over Dodgers Stadium as a result

Do they still allow the public to sit in stands and eat lunch for free?

❤

They should have moved to Jersey City. Today,that place is jumping-unlike every other city with HUGE problems.

LA💙⚾️🧢

I vote Brooklyn

Now if only the Dodgers can win a real World Series some time this millennium and not in a shortened Covid season either.

Used to enjoy going as a kid, but last time I went saw a few drunk cholos and cholas go at it a few times. Never Again!

Go Dodgers.

As much as I hate the Dodgers, I have to admit they are a class act. The Giants could take a few lessons from them. Such as QUIT changing the NAME of your stadium every few years. Build a FARM SYSTEM. Stop signing lend/lease FREE AGENTS. They are a waste of money. Stop the WOKE crap. Stop the ADS on every available inch of the stadium. Have a few promotions so REAL FANS can afford to attend games. (Not just on the internet). Stop RAISING PRICES every year. It sucks.

A dump since 1962. Go Giants! 🧡🧡🧡

1. The rats’ nest near the concessions stands. 2. The piss smell is actually pumped through the HVAC to make patrons feel at home. 3. Homeless planted in the stands so it really captures that LA essence.

I guess they forgot to mention the displacement of a thriving Hispanic community that lost their homes in order to build the stadium.

I have always hated the Dodgers. I visited the Stadium once. It was off season and raining out. There was nobody there, and I took the time to pee on the stadium building. So I pi$$ed on the team I hated the most... Sorry, but true story.

Stopped going when MLB went woke

I liked the Dodgers during my baseball fan years, and I recognize the stadium's niceness. But this list could been more complete by including: 10. The place where screaming Hispanic families were forcibly dragged from the porches of their homes as the historic, stable Chavez Ravine neighborhood was stolen to build Dodger Stadium. 9. The office were outfielder Glenn Burke was fired because he was gay. 8. The clubhouse where Steve Garvey arranged business deals in which cheated dozens of people. Just sayin.

You forgot to mention Chavez Revine and how you stole this land from LA Latino residents

Should of mentioned all the Mexican families that got displaced from there homes to build this stadium

Blue Heaven on Earth 🌎 🔵⚪️🧢⚾️🇺🇸 However….. It cost an arm and a leg to see a Dodgers game. Parking, food and beverage, merchandise. Dodgers PR (public relations) are making it harder for fans and even season ticket holder to have access in and around and outside Dodger Stadium 🏟
