Talk:Holman Stadium (Vero Beach)

message: Last year, the team registered a new zip code for the stadium, which is legally called "Dodgertown". Shouldn't this article now point to that and offer this article as a disambiguation?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.226.37.201 (talk) 01:28, 13 June 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree that there should be a new article describing the current meaning of "Dogertown," however I have to say that this article should not be redirected or removed.  There is a history that is associated with this place that just cannot be taken away.  Of course, Los Angeles has made a new zip code for the new Dodgertown, but to many, Vero Beach will always be home to the Dodgertown that they have known for the last 50 plus years.  http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/dodgers/2010/04/shame-of-the-dodgers-dodgertown-is-anywhere-but-vero-beach.htmlChoorel (talk) 21:20, 21 July 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: Dodgertown, CA?

message: I am just a new user, so I felt I should express some ideas to make this article a little more complete, instead of going straight to editing the article.  Having played for the Los Angeles Dodgers, I can attest to the history and importance of Dodgertown in Florida.  I am on the side of the fans that are disappointed that the name of "Dodgertown" has been stripped and relocated to California.  This article does not do a complete job on describing the history of the complex, and how important it was and will always be to baseball. 
:
==== History ====
Dodgertown in Florida was called home to thousands of players throughout its history, among those were greats such as Duke Snider, Tommy Lasorda, Don Drysdale, and Sandy Koufax, and the complex still displays their names on its street signs.
The complex began as an abandoned Naval base from World War II, and included barracks with no heating or air conditioning.  A local businessman by the name of Bud Holman approached the Dodgers in 1947 about using the area as a Spring Training site.  Since the Brooklyn Dodgers had the most farm teams in the league with 26, the Naval base would be ideal for the large number of players. http://www.walteromalley.com/hist_dtown_page1.php
Don't just regurgitate a website; do some math. Even if the Dodgers came to Vero Beach in 1948, Dodgertown was built in 1951, Holman Stadium opened in 1953 and the Dodgers left in 2006 (not 2008; they left in 2006 and were replaced by the Tampa Bay Rays, who left in 2008). Which part of this adds up to Dodgertown or even Vero Beach serving the Dodgers for more than 60 years?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.134.134.91 (talk) 07:15, 9 February 2014 (UTC)

message: The lede paragraph contains the statement "The complex holds more history than any other spring training facility in the world." That sounds like a subjective personal opinion to me and not an encyclopedic fact. 92.48.194.176 (talk) 04:53, 21 March 2013 (UTC)
