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.

My neighbor in East Los Angeles was a member of one of the families that was forced to vacate their homes in Chavez Revine.
