replies: text: Just scan the 30 current ballparks at List_of_Major_League_Baseball_stadiums. I count: 16 named for a company, 8 named for a person, 6 named for the team and/or location. Some are debatable where a person ran a company of the same name. I question whether it's even worth bringing up in this article. Wahkeenah 00:17, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

"Dodger Stadium has changed very little over the years. In 1969 home plate was moved forward ten feet in hopes of generating more home runs. (This was the era of pitcher supremacy, you may recall.) The distance to center field was reduced from 410 feet to 400 feet, but there was no change in the left and right field corners because the fences were at a 45 degree angle to the baselines. This shift enhanced visibility for fans in the upper decks, but fans in the lower-deck box seats were farther away from the infield. Indeed, from 1969 until 1999, Dodger Stadium had one of the roomiest foul territories of any stadium. Another oddity is that in 1983 the "400" marker was removed from straightaway center field and replaced by two "395" markers just to the right and left of center field. There was no actual change in the distances, but some people were confused anyway."
This is what I've always understood... so should the dimensions reflect the true distance to center field?  Or what's on the signs that aren't in center field?  I vote for true distance.

replies: text: These photos from 1962 and 1963 indicate pretty well that there was a gap between the fence and the seating area of the bleachers. Specific details are not so clear. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 23:41, 13 April 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: A gap has always existed between the Pavilion structure and the outfield fence, to accommodate the ingress/egress stairs.  The landing of these stairways were essentially adjacent to the fence until approx. 1969, as can be seen from the second photo.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.167.94.36 (talk) 04:54, 15 April 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Can you find a photo 1969 or later which shows the increased gap? ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 05:01, 15 April 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Here is the best I can find, although anyone who attends a game should be able to document this. Link: http://www.somelifeblog.com/2008/05/lazy-night-at-dodgers-stadium.html (third photo shows about a 3 foot gap between the stairway handrail/landing and fence)  I also know the fence was moved away from the stairway landing, as this was commonly used by fans (such as myself) to catch batting practice flies, and it was possible at that time to stand on the landing (assuming the usher was not looking) and reach over the fence.  As one can see from this photo, this is no longer possible.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.167.94.36 (talk) 05:11, 15 April 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: The fence might be a little farther away from those landings, and it's almost certainly also shorter than it once was. Here's something to consider: Prior to 1969, the distance from the plate to the backstop is given as 68 feet. In 1969 it's given as 75 feet. That's a 7 foot increase. Yet the outfield markers indicate a 10 feet decrease. This is too much like OR to put in the article... but maybe the other 3 feet came from also moving the fences inward? The fence was lowered much more recently, though. But that's a separate issue. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 05:27, 15 April 2012 (UTC)

replies: text: One thing that caught my attention was the restoring of the expression "terrific run of luck", which is puffery, and also the restoring of the untrue statement about Arlington Stadium, which led me to conclude that you simply blindly restored some earlier version of the article.

message: The article states that Dodger Stadium is commonly known as "Chavez Ravine"...I'm a Los Angeles native and have been going to Dodger games since I was very young, and I've never heard that term used before... --69.3.130.249 (talk) 19:04, 11 August 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Someone slipped that bit of original research in there about 4 months ago. It was called "Chavez Ravine" or "Chavez Ravine Stadium" by the Angels when they were there, so that name is basically obsolete, though it may still be called that by some. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 20:51, 11 August 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: There is an article on Chavez Ravine; the name predates the stadium. 2001:5C0:1000:A:0:0:0:E5 (talk) 22:14, 14 August 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: First there was the ravine call Chavez Ravine, then there was Dodger Stadium, and then Chavez Ravine Stadium, aka Chavez Ravine. I would be surprised if it's called "Chavez Ravine [Stadium]" very often now. It's kind of like when the Giants played at Giants Stadium and the Jets played at The Meadowlands, which was the same stadium. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 22:54, 14 August 2012 (UTC)
