Construction on Dodger Stadium began in September of 1959. Lawsuits and landslides (some things never change in LA) forced the construction to be completed a year behind schedule. On April 10, 1962, over 52,000 baseball fans crammed the new state-of-the-art stadium, built to hold 50,000 people.

that is AWESOME! Any more from Dodger Stadium's early days?
My neighbor in East Los Angeles was a member of one of the families that was forced to vacate their homes in Chavez Revine.
Well, what do you know? How cool is that? I love Dodger Stadium!
Ben, I don't think I do but if I do come across any I will post them.
