The land on which the Dodgers built their new Los Angeles stadium was once the home of the Latino neighborhoods of Chavez Ravine. In the 1950s, LA officials seized the property of Latino homeowners, forcibly removing them from their residences using eminent domain. For this baseball-loving community, the game came to represent physical displacement: families forced to make way for Dodger Stadium. Uprooted residents will never forget this complicated, dark chapter in LA history.

"You definitely gotta go catch a Dodger game! Go to Dodger Stadium, one of the most iconic stadiums ever, in my opinion. I don't just say it because I'm an L.A. girl. I love the Dodger Stadium so much. The sunsets there are also really beautiful. The food is great. And I've gotten to sing at Dodger Stadium before! It was just one of the coolest experiences I've ever had."

California’s third stadium on this list is also the third-oldest ballpark in the U.S., after Fenway and Wrigley. Dodger Stadium is the largest baseball stadium in the world with a seating capacity of more than 56,000. Though it has undergone several renovations over the years, it still holds a classic baseball charm, and the backdrop of palm trees and mountains gives it that relaxing California vibe.
