Dodgers Announce Stadium Improvement Plan
April 24, 2008

The Los Angeles Dodgers have announced a stadium improvement plan. The improvements are anticipated to be completed by Opening Day of the 2012 season. The architecture and planning firms of Johnson Fain and HKS lead the development team. The main features of the plan include: Dodger Way, a tree-lined entrance will lead to grand plaza that connects to a promenade with restaurants, shops and the Dodger Experience museum; Green Necklace, a street setting of Dodger Way that will link to a perimeter around Dodger Stadium, enabling fans to walk around the park, outdoors yet inside the stadium gates. This will transform acres of parking lots into a landscaped outdoor walkway connecting the plaza and promenade to the rest of the ballpark; Top of the Park, a large scale outdoor plaza featuring breathtaking 360 degree views spanning the downtown skyline and Santa Monica Bay, the Santa Monica and San Gabriel Mountains, and the Dodger Stadium diamond.
