Dodger Stadium is a large outdoor ballpark in Los Angeles, California at Chávez Ravine. It is located adjacent to Downtown Los Angeles. Dodger Stadium was privately financed at a cost of $23 million in 1962. With the replacement of Yankee Stadium, and the opening of Citi Field, Dodger Stadium, in 2009, will become the third oldest ballpark (behind Wrigley Field and Fenway Park).
Hm... good point Boom
