@walterwhite1lol. Giants do have a nice park, and it is close to the water so Max Muncy can smash dingers into it - but you can’t objectively say that Dodger stadium is “crap”. It’s gorgeous, full of tradition, and nice and warm - unlike the cold summer nights in the park in SF named for whatever corporation paid them.
I think the Gondola plan coming up will be a huge bonus for the Dodgers. I know it's controversial, I'm not super educated on it, but I know connecting the stadium to the city will ease tons of problems and bring more to the city... if executed properly
Remember dad taking me and my siblings back in the 1980’s to go see the legendary Fernando Valenzuela pitch 💙 good times.. Took my lil nephew last year for his first time, his first view of the stadium was from the third level, he was in awe in how beautiful Dodgers stadium looked. He never seen nothing like it. I told him, it’s Blue Heaven on Earth
Went there opening season as an 11-year-old. It was praise for its modernity when it opened and now it's the third oldest ballpark. Things like that puts into perspective how long I been around.
It’s our stadium, our team. We have Freddie and Gibbys home runs, Koufax, ElToro, and all the rest. Be proud Dodger nation, that we have this family. The Hell with the rest of this country and all the haters, we have our team and our stadium.
That would be great , but the hotel will be empty during off season and away games. Nothing is around the stadium to attract ppl outside of going to a dodger game
That’s ridiculous. No one ever has gone to a game there and said, “yeah that was fun, but it would have been cool if there was a hotel”; and no one has ever picked a hotel ever with the convenience of sitting in a parking lot for an hour before and after the games. Sheesh what a horrible take
@@TK-mf5innot true. Ohtani completely changed that. Millions of fans from Japan would love to stay at a Dodger town hotel next to the stadium. A stadium district would be awesome. The parking lot is a disaster and needs to go.
They are still working on it today. The day after their World Series celebration at the stadium they began to dig. I believe they are expanding the clubhouses, i'm not sure. But they ain't stoppin'
as someone who goes to 10-20 games a year, ive learned to either take the bus or uber to parking entrance and just walk up to the stadium. Its a loooooot faster. I also am a religious about getting there 30-45 mins before the game starts, and i mean at the ticket gate not the parking entrance.
No. My friend and I did it the 'hard' way and walked from the Chinatown station (blue line on LA's metro) up the hill to the stadium. But they have Dodger Shuttles that leave Union Station.
@@HHSGDFootballJPDI live in Michigan have been there many times in my younger years… Ooo! Real Chinese food from my favorite Chinatown place, then take the Shuttle to the Park? My idea of Blue Heaven on Earth!
i take the regular bus to the parking gates and save a lot of time or I take the dodger bus which is also very fast if your willing to make a 15-20 min line a union station.
@samiam619 the previous owner owns the rights to the parking. He's a parasite. He was so bad that he was forced to sell the team but he owns the parking so he gets to decide what he makes out of the Dodgers' success. Idk how he got away with it
@@samiam619 You need to get your facts straight. The Dodgers do not get a dime of the parking fees. Frank McCourt owns the rights to the parking income. So when you pay to park, McCourt is pocketing the profits to park.
You just need to plan ahead with where you park. You have to walk a bit, but my Dad found a parking section that was right next to an exit that led to the SB Harbor Freeway. Had to walk 10 minutes but were out of the lot in 5!
@@KentBunn Blame the bad parking layout on Frank McCourt. When he owned the Dodgers, he rearranged the parking to get more cars to park for the money. When Walter O'Malley designed the stadium parking, He had a layout where when you parked, most of the cars were parked all facing the same direction for a smooth flow to the nearest exit. Mr. O'Malley also had wider street lanes for more cars to enter/exit.
You don’t understand how ownership structures work…Magic is responsible as the Spokesman Owner which makes him the Group Rep. He will get the flowers when things go well…and the eggs thrown at him in lean times.
That is the point. They wanted someone to be the face of the franchise. He does that for them in terms of marketing and public relations and in return he gets two percent.
the current 100 million phase is JUST for the club houses. not the entire stadium. the outfield rennovations a few years ago were 100 million. each of those are individual projects. not one big project. foreigners arent experts on anything american.
Absolute dump of a stadium and I’ve been to a lot of baseball stadiums. I would rather go to that trash heap in anaslime than this god forsaken stadium.
Hope the Dodgers never have to replace this iconic place!
It’s crap sf giants have a way better park right next to the ocean 🌊 bud
@walterwhite1 it's way too cramped lol
@@drone124 ITS THE KING 🤴 FOR A REASON. JUST NAMED NUMBER 1 BALL PARK IN ALL OF USA 🇺🇸
It won't happen for the foreseeable future.

The center field plaza is just a good vibe zone. Those additions have made the park such a blast to see games

The all you can eat pavilion section was discontinued years ago.
I know and it suck😢
I like how they include some highlights from the top of the 5th.
It’s now the largest since the A’s Oakland Coliseum with a whomping 63,000 seats is no more!
Not mention the $100 million they are spending this offseason to renovate the clubhouses and weight rooms.

Dodger blue forever, lived on the other side of the hill as a kid, riverside dr and papers when they came to town at coliseum.
There needs to be a Dodger stadium hotel.
That would be great , but the hotel will be empty during off season and away games. Nothing is around the stadium to attract ppl outside of going to a dodger game
@Marc21j Its still close to DTLA. Free shuttle bus service to and from Union station would be great.

Dodger Stadium easily has the highest year long attendance of any stadium worldwide.
They are still working on it today. The day after their World Series celebration at the stadium they began to dig. I believe they are expanding the clubhouses, i'm not sure. But they ain't stoppin'
Looking forward to visiting soon!
It's so peaceful and always a good day
LA knows how to preserve its stadiums.
Sir u just got a new subscriber 😊
This is the best video ever created 🔥
And they’re doing more renovations as we speak … this stadium doesn’t disappoint
Tried to attend a game one evening but the traffic going to the ballpark was awful so I watched the game at a restaurant bar.

Dodger express you get in and out so fast
One of Dodger stadiums biggest flaws is that you need a vehicle to get to the park.
No. My friend and I did it the 'hard' way and walked from the Chinatown station (blue line on LA's metro) up the hill to the stadium. But they have Dodger Shuttles that leave Union Station.
@@HHSGDFootballJPDI live in Michigan have been there many times in my younger years… Ooo! Real Chinese food from my favorite Chinatown place, then take the Shuttle to the Park? My idea of Blue Heaven on Earth!
Park in union station and walk 10-15 min to the game.
i take the regular bus to the parking gates and save a lot of time or I take the dodger bus which is also very fast if your willing to make a 15-20 min line a union station.
Dodger express bro. Come on man! Rookie
7:16 where is that at Dodger stadium? I believe that's union station.
Do Wrigley Field
Saw the Beatles there in ‘66.😂
Any talk of the history of dodger stadium without mentioning the destruction of the Chavez ravine neighborhood is a miscarriage of Justice.
Dodgers stadium is amazing!
Spending another 100mil redoing the clubhouses this offseason
Dodgers spending money like they're printing it in their penthouse, and I'm all for it. Go Dodgers!!
Oh really? So now you know why Parking is $40 a car. Or is it $50?
But yes, I’m glad they did it the smart way ie. a little at a time. See you next Spring. Go Dodgers!
@@samiam619 This is why I watch Dodger games on TV, lol

Why does the stadium have gold and orange seats? Wouldn't the stadium look better with Dodger BLUE seats?
the colors are meant to mimic the beach and crashing waves
I think it’s origins was based of the 76 gas station that was there before.
I'd rather visit the 9th circle of hell than experience that parking lot ever again.

@ the one time I went there, it took an hour to escape the parking lot after getting back to the car.

No mention that the land the stadium is built on was acquired by gentrifying the land occupied by native Mexican/ Angelinos?
MJ owns a whopping 2% of the team. Sure gets a lot of attention for being a drop in the bucket "owner".
You don’t understand how ownership structures work…Magic is responsible as the Spokesman Owner which makes him the Group Rep.

Michael Jackson is dead

He owns 2 percent of a 4 billion dollar team. Do the math bozo 🤡
@@islander5858it’s beyond his brain capacity. Magic is more than a minority owner, he’s an LA legend with charisma galore.
That land was stolen from poor people.
Definitely should have touched how Hispanic households were forcibly removed to build it. Sensitive topic but important in the history.
Man they got paid let it go smh
no thanks dont want to spend 3 car payments to go a game
Dont mention all the lives destroyed by obliterating the homes of Elisian Park. RIP
That's true
The Dodgers didn’t do that tho.. the city of LA did
Same thing happened with Surfridge west of LAX.
That happened before the dodgers came.

Time to start acknowledging the people of Chavez Ravine and its true location.
its still a dump 😅
Funny way to spell “modern marvel”😂
