Dodgers Stadium: What to Know Before You Visit

Constructed from 1959 to 1962, Dodgers Stadium is the third oldest Major League Baseball stadium behind Chicago’s Wrigley Field, built in 1916, and Boston’s Fenway Park, which finished its original construction in 1912. 

The Short Stop is a popular drinking spot for Dodgers fans, both before and after the big game. One part dive bar and one part dance club, this Los Angeles watering hole offers everything from cheap beers and extended happy hours to lounges, pool tables, arcade games, and Dodgers games on repeat (because, of course!) 

Need to grab a quick bite during the 7^th inning stretch? Why not go for the classic Dodger Dog, which happens to be the most sold hot dog sold throughout all major league ballparks. If you want to mix up your hot dog from the standard mustard and relish, Dodger Stadium offers a wide variety of franks, not to mention their tradition of customizing a hot dog in favor of the visiting team.

Since Dodger Stadium is only about 20 miles from the Pacific ocean, sluggers may face the issue of a would be home run dying just short of the mark. As the ocean quickly cools the sky at night, the air becomes very dense, making it much harder to hit a homerun under the lights, rather than during the day.

If you need some food to soak up those extra-inning beers, stop by Guisados for some of the best tacos downtown Los Angeles has to offer. With fresh made corn tortillas stuffed with slow roasted meats and at only $2.75 apiece, you can’t beat what this hotspot restaurant has to offer.
