  • Das Dodger Stadium ist ein großes Baseball-Stadion in Los Angeles. Als Rain Robinson und die Lieutenants Tuvok und Paris von der durch die Zeit gereisten USS Voyager im Jahr 1996 ihr weiteres Vorgehen gegen Henry Starling planen, holt Tuvok Frühstück für die drei. Er besorgt Chili-Burritos, Goliath-Hamburger und Riesen-Hotdogs in solchen Mengen, dass Rain meint, das würde für eine ganze Familie und einen Nachmittag im Dodger Stadium reichen. Tuvok hält dies für eine irrige Folgerung. (VOY: )
  • Le Dodger Stadium était un stade de baseball construit en 1959-1962, situé à Los Angeles sur Terre, servant de terrain aux Los Angeles Dodgers.

  • Dodger Stadium is the home of the Los Angeles Dodgers of Major League Baseball. It was opened in 1962. It was also the home of the Los Angeles Angels from 1962-1965 (who called the stadium Chavez Ravine) until they moved to their new stadium in Anaheim for the 1966.
  • Dodger Stadium has been the home of the Los Angeles Dodgers Major League Baseball team since 1962. The stadium hosted the 1980 MLB All-Star Game, as well as games of the 1963, 1965, 1966, 1974, 1977, 1978, 1981, and 1988 World Series. Dodger Stadium is the only current MLB park (excluding the most recently-built parks) that has never changed its capacity. It has always held 56,000 fans, due to a conditional-use permit limiting its capacity. Every time the Dodgers add seats, they always remove an equal number of seats in the upper deck or in the pavilion to keep the capacity the same.

  • Dodger Stadium is the home of the Los Angeles Dodgers of Major League Baseball. It was opened in 1962. It was also the home of the Los Angeles Angels from 1962-1965 (who called the stadium Chavez Ravine) until they moved to their new stadium in Anaheim for the 1966. The stadium hosted the first of four games that will be called the "Stadium Series" during the 2013-14 NHL season. Two games are also being held at Yankee Stadium in New York City and one game is being held at Soldier Field in Chicago. The game is scheduled for January 25, 2014 with the Los Angeles Kings hosting the Anaheim Ducks.

  • Dodger Stadium has been the home of the Los Angeles Dodgers Major League Baseball team since 1962. The stadium hosted the 1980 MLB All-Star Game, as well as games of the 1963, 1965, 1966, 1974, 1977, 1978, 1981, and 1988 World Series. Built in the Los Angeles region of Chávez Ravine, the stadium overlooks downtown Los Angeles and provides breath-taking views of the city to the south, the green tree-lined hills of Elysian Park to the north and east, and the San Gabriel Mountains beyond the outfield pavilions. Player polls regularly rate Dodger Stadium's playing surface as one of the best in the league. Dodger Stadium is the only current MLB park (excluding the most recently-built parks) that has never changed its capacity. It has always held 56,000 fans, due to a conditional-use permit limiting its capacity. Every time the Dodgers add seats, they always remove an equal number of seats in the upper deck or in the pavilion to keep the capacity the same. The stadium was originally designed to be expandable to 85,000 seats, simply by enclosing the outfield pavilion. However, the Dodgers have not pursued such a project. A unique terraced-earthworks parking lot was built behind the main stands, allowing ticketholders to park at roughly the level that their seats are, minimizing their climbing and descending of ramps once they get inside the stadium. It was also designed to be earthquake-resistant, an important consideration in California, and has stood the test of several serious earthquakes. One of the park's distinctive features is the wavy roof atop each outfield pavilion. Although beer was not available in the left field pavilion until recently, it is now available in both pavilions. Strobe lights were added in 1999; they flash when the Dodgers take the field, after a Dodger home run and after a Dodger win. Dodger Stadium was one of the last baseball-only facilities built before the dawn of the multi-purpose "cookie-cutter stadium", or "concrete donut" era in stadium construction. Architecturally speaking, it has little in common with the concrete donuts; however, like the concrete donuts, it was built near freeways, away from the city center, to allow for placement of an expansive parking lot surrounding the stadium. With the construction of many new MLB ballparks in recent years, it is now the third-oldest park still in use (since the closure of Yankee Stadium at the end of the 2008 season), and the oldest on the West Coast. However, the Dodgers devote significant resources to the park's maintenance. For example, it is repainted every year, and a full-time crew of gardeners maintain the site. No plans are in the works to replace it. Renovations were made beginning in 2004 that initially added additional field level seats. After some criticism of the sightlines with these new seats, they were replaced with box seats. As of 2008, Dodger Stadium is one of the minority of major league parks without a corporate-sponsored name; the others are Yankee Stadium, Fenway Park, Wrigley Field, Oriole Park at Camden Yards, Dolphin Stadium, Kauffman Stadium, Angel Stadium of Anaheim, Rangers Ballpark in Arlington, Turner Field, and Nationals Park. For various reasons, Dodger Stadium, for a long time, once enjoyed a well-deserved reputation as a pitchers' park. At first, the relatively deep outfield dimensions were a factor, with the power alleys being about 385 feet (117 m). Home plate was moved 10 feet (3 m) toward center field in 1969, but that move also expanded foul ground by 10 feet (3 m), a tradeoff which helped to offset the increased likelihood of home runs caused by the decreased field dimensions. The extremely short outfield walls near the foul poles also make some balls that would bounce off the wall in other parks go for home runs. Also, during evening games, as the sun sets, the surrounding air cools quickly due to the ocean climate, becoming more dense, and deep fly balls that might be home runs during the day might instead "die" in the air for routine outs. Recently, however, Dodger Stadium has actually been neutral with respect to home runs. The stadium does depress doubles and triples quite a bit, due to its uniform outfield walls and relatively small "corners" near the foul poles. With some expansion of the box seat area and the removal of significant foul territory, the ballpark has become neutral for both pitchers and hitters alike. Baseball-Reference's Park Factor measurement of 102 for the 2006 and 2007 seasons is evidence of this. Although the Dodgers have maintained that the distance to center field is 395 feet since 1980, it is still actually 400 feet to center, as has been the case since 1969. The two '395' signs erected in 1980 are to the left and right of dead center. With Citi Field having replaced Shea Stadium, Dodger Stadium is the only stadium with symmetrical outfield dimensions remaining in the National League and only one of four total in Major League Baseball. The other three symmetrical fields are Kauffman Stadium, Rogers Centre, and the Oakland Coliseum. Pitchers such as Sandy Koufax, Don Drysdale, Don Sutton, Fernando Valenzuela, and Orel Hershiser became superstars after arriving in Los Angeles. The pitcher's edge is also evident in the fact that nine no-hitters have been thrown in the stadium, including two perfect games (by the Dodgers' Sandy Koufax in 1965, and by Dennis Martínez of the former Montreal Expos in 1991). Bo Belinsky threw the first ever no-hitter in Dodger Stadium on May 5, 1962 while pitching for the Los Angeles Angels. Thomas Matier was the first ever visiting pitcher to throw a no-hitter in Dodger Stadium. The park's significant advantage was eroded somewhat in 1969, in general because MLB rules were changed to lower the maximum height of the pitcher's mound, and more specifically because the Dodgers moved the diamond about 10 feet (3 m) towards center field. This also gave the fielders more room to catch foul balls, so there was some tradeoff. Following the 2004 season, the stadium underwent a renovation which significantly reduced the amount of foul territory. Seats were added which were closer to home plate than the pitcher's mound, the dugouts were moved closer to the field, and previously open space down the foul lines was filled with new seats. To pay for an outstanding loan with the Dodgers former owner Fox News Corporation, current owner Frank McCourt (executive) used Dodger Stadium as collateral to obtain a $250 million loan. Dodger Stadium was the first Major League Baseball stadium since the initial construction of Yankee Stadium to be built using entirely private financing, and the last until AT&T Park was built. The 2008 season marks the Dodger franchise's 47th season at Dodger Stadium, two more than the number of seasons that the club spent at its storied ancestral home, Ebbets Field (1913-1957). Thanks to the 162-game season that coincidentally went into effect the year the stadium opened, adding 8 extra games (4 home games) per season, the Dodgers had surpassed the Ebbets Field game total by 2005, although they did not surpass the number of Ebbets Field seasons until 2007. In the mid-1950s, team president Walter O'Malley had tried to convince the Borough of Brooklyn to construct a new stadium, complete with dome, to replace the woefully cramped Ebbets. O'Malley eventually got his stadium, except it was in Los Angeles and without a dome. With the replacement of RFK Stadium in 2008 and Yankee Stadium in 2009, Dodger Stadium will become the third oldest Major League venue in regular use, behind Wrigley Field and Fenway Park. Additionally, with the retirement of Yankee Stadium and Shea Stadium, in 2009 the park claimed the title of being the largest capacity stadium in the Majors. The Dodgers organization previously played in the league's largest capacity venue from 1958 through 1961 at their temporary home, the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, which could seat in excess of 90,000 people. The ballpark has had a good run of luck with rain. Prior to 1976, the Dodgers were rained out only once, against the St. Louis Cardinals, on April 21, 1967. That rainout ended a streak of 737 consecutive games without a postponement. The second home rainout, on April 12, 1976, ended a streak of 724 straight games. No rainouts occurred between three straight games from April 19-21, 1988, and April 11, 1999 - a major league record of 856 straight home games without a rainout. Famous players who have called Dodger Stadium home include Don Drysdale, Sandy Koufax, Maury Wills, Tommy Davis, Steve Garvey, Fernando Valenzuela, Kirk Gibson, Orel Hershiser, Mike Piazza and Manny Ramírez. In addition to those of Drysdale, Koufax, and Sutton, the retired numbers of Pee Wee Reese, Jackie Robinson, Duke Snider, Tommy Lasorda, Walter Alston, Roy Campanella and Jim Gilliam are mounted below the pavilion roofs behind the outfield fence. In a 2003 survey of Major League Players the playing field was voted the best in Major League Baseball.
