Dodger Stadium, the iconic home of the Los Angeles Dodgers, opened in 1962 in the Elysian Park neighborhood, and holds the distinction of being the oldest ballpark west of the Mississippi River and the largest baseball stadium in the world by seat capacity. Built in under three years for $23 million, it has hosted 12 World Series, two MLB All-Star Games (1980 and 2022), and 13 no-hitters, while also serving as a venue for the World Baseball Classic, a soccer tournament, and an NHL Stadium Series game. The stadium is often called "Chavez Ravine" after the geographic area, and was nicknamed "Blue Heaven on Earth" by manager Tommy Lasorda, with a naming rights deal set to rename it "Uniqlo Field at Dodger Stadium" in March 2026. Its construction was controversial, as the city used eminent domain to seize the land from mostly Hispanic residents, displacing them after a planned public housing project was abandoned due to shifting political views. It also briefly served as the home of the Los Angeles Angels from 1962 to 1965.
