Why move the Dodgers ? Where you going to put the team Frago, north dakota ? You're movin a team from the 2nd biggest tv market in the usa too? also cant see the moving getting a new stadium since its one of the best baseball stadium in the baseball. All they need to do is make it easier to get to and from the stadium and maybe built some parking garage

not to mention the Dodgers are a top 5 team in attendance every damn year and have one of the largest followings in sports and hold the world record for the team with the highest total cumulative attendance ever.

"every damn year" except for this one, where they are 10th in per game attendance, but 13th in percentage of seats filled.

I simply meant out of Dodger Stadium. How far they go is up to whomever takes over the team. McCourt charges the Dodgers $300,000 per month, year round, for renting the parking lot. With 26 shell corporations floating around, I wouldn't be surprised if Dodger Stadium was also charging the team rent. This is why the team cannot meet payroll.

im sorry, yes every year, except this one, where the fans are purposefully boycotting going to games, yet still are 10th. Worst team in the league, bitter ownership divorce, huge backlash against the ownership, yet still 10th.

Nope, the closest rail station is the chinatown gold line station, which is probably less than a mile away as the crow flies, but its much further away in reality because the stadium is on a hill that is 500 feet higher in elevation than the station. there is a dedicated bus that goes from union station to the stadium every game, and carries maybe 5 - 10 % of the total attendance.

It's highly unlikely, but it remains a possibility, especially with the whole McCourt stadium land situation. Read back a page or two where some possible locations have been discussed.

The Dodgers are being outdrawn by the Giants? Well, the Giants are in the playoffs again. They won the World Series just 2 years ago. Meanwhile, the Dodgers are still living off past achievements. You could make the argument that they haven't been relevant since the '80s. The Giants and the Angels, the Dodgers 2 main rivals have been the more successful franchises, recently. We'll see what can be done to Dodger Stadium, and what the new ownership has in mind.

sports bras

I visited stadium many times and see there many girls use sports bras of different styles.Sports bras designed with activity in mind, sports bras provide extra support, sports materials with breathability and wider straps to support the bust during sports.A lot of girls like sports bras and use it

They don't, of course--at least for quite awhile. The previous poster was comparing apples and oranges. Yankee Stadium was on a small plot of land with no room for expansion, additional suites, clubs or other modern amenities. Dodger Stadium has plenty of room for expansion, including more clubs, museums, restaurants and more suites. The new owners know this which is why they're going to be investing in a renovation that will make the stadium a top-tier facility that will be good for another 20 years at least.

Also, Dodger Stadium holds the history of the LA Dodgers for most of their existence, just as Fenway or Wrigley holds for their teams. The number of years it's been around (compared to Wrigley and Fenway) isn't as important as the percentage of time that the LA Dodgers have called Chavez Ravine their home--not to mention the history, Championships and players that have made Dodger Stadium an iconic ballpark.

To put it in perspective, Dodger Stadium will have had more years under its belt in 2013 than Yankee Stadium did when it was gutted and renovated in 1973. And Dodger Stadium is already 4 years older than Ebbets Field was when the Dodger move west.

Any MLB Ballpark that makes it to 50 and is still going strong is a classic ballpark by any definition.
