Dodger Stadium
About
Dodger Stadium sits in Chavez Ravine next to Echo Park. Opened in 1962, it's home to the Los Angeles Dodgers and the third-oldest ballpark in Major League Baseball. The stands look out to the San Gabriel Mountains and palm trees, and night games come with gorgeous sunsets. The season runs roughly late March to September; postgame traffic is a tradition.
Jasmine says
Shohei Ohtani's home field. At an evening game, the sunset paints the whole valley in colors way beyond Dodger Blue.
