Largest seating capacity in MLB. The symmetrical dimensions are nearly unchanged since 1962.

Built into Chavez Ravine — the controversial displacement of the Mexican-American communities of La Loma, Palo Verde, and Bishop preceded construction.
Pastel-colored seating tiers — gold, light blue, dark blue, orange — give the bowl its instantly recognizable look.
Wave-shaped roof line over the upper concourse, an iconic mid-century design element.
Third-oldest active MLB park, after Fenway and Wrigley.

1962
Stadium opens
The Dodgers opened the park on April 10, 1962, after four years playing in the LA Coliseum following the move from Brooklyn. Walter O'Malley spent $23 million — entirely privately financed.
1965
Koufax's perfect game
Sandy Koufax threw a perfect game against the Cubs — his fourth no-hitter in four straight years. Vin Scully's call of the ninth inning is one of baseball's great audio recordings.
1981
Fernandomania
Rookie Fernando Valenzuela energized LA's Mexican-American community on his way to winning Cy Young and Rookie of the Year. The Dodgers won the World Series.
1988
Gibson limps off the bench
Kirk Gibson — barely able to walk — pinch-hit a walk-off home run in Game 1 of the World Series. The Dodgers stunned the heavily-favored A's in five games.
2020
Title in the bubble year
The Dodgers won their first World Series since 1988, beating Tampa Bay in the Texas neutral-site bubble. The on-field celebration happened in Arlington, but the parade never came.
2024
Ohtani-Betts era championship
Shohei Ohtani's first season in LA ended with a World Series title over the Yankees in five games — the celebration finally happening at Dodger Stadium.
