Dodger Stadium Newsbeat

ESPNLA: Dodger Stadium getting a new look

High-definition video boards in left and right field that will return to the original hexagon shape. The first 10-millimeter, 1080p LED scoreboards in baseball will be 22 percent larger than the current screens.

A new sound system aimed at cutting down on echoes and controlling the sound that leaves the stadium.

Wider concourses and additional accommodations for fans in wheelchairs.

New restrooms, some with baby-changing tables. Women’s fixtures will increase 62 percent and men’s fixtures by 32 percent, with the aim to cut down on long lines.

A new home clubhouse, the first major changes to where Dodgers players dress since 1962, along with bigger weight rooms and trainers rooms.

Separate batting cages and weight rooms for visiting teams, aimed at eliminating the awkward sharing of such facilities that sometimes led to tension before or after games.

Bullpen overlooks, allowing fans to watch pitchers warm up (and heckle opposing relievers).

Better cell-phone and wireless Internet access.

Playground areas.

True Blue LA: Dodger Stadium renovation photos

Walking into the stadium club for the Hyun-jin Ryu press conference on Monday, I didn’t know what to expect. I knew Dodger Stadium was undergoing renovations, but it is a little jarring to see all the dirt where seats used to be on the field level.

The Dodgers are completely remodeling both clubhouses, among other things, and needed the seats out to dig and build underneath and behind. On the field level, all but eight sections of seats are out during the renovation (there are seats from the left of the visitors dugout to just behind home plate), and while the premium seats behind home plate remain, they are all covered for the time being.

The scoreboards in the wall in both left field and right field are gone, soon to be replaced, as well.
