Dodgers Stadium

from Backwards K Pod Hosted by Jake Robinson

At elevation levels ranging from 400 too 700 feet and after 31 months of relocating 8 million cubic yards of Earth, 13 million pounds of reinforced steel used and an army of construction men who literally moved mountains to build this modern day marvel of engineering. The third oldest stadium in the majors was born, The legendary ballpark also has a sad and sordid backstory, that saw three Mexican-American neighborhoods in the ravine, razed to the ground by the government, for an eventual failed public housing plan. Paving the way for the Dodgers to take advantage of the almost empty plot of land. This is the amazing story of Dodgers Stadium at Chavez Ravine. #DodgersStadium #ChavezRavine #WalterOMalley #VinScully #LaPoloma #PaloVerde #TommyLasorda #BlueHeaven
