Dodger Stadium, Los Angeles
One of the most beloved of baseball's older ballparks, and also the park with the largest seating capacity in MLB, Dodger Stadium is located just north of downtown Los Angeles in Chavez Ravine, looking to all the world like an enormous blast crater. It's most notable feature (other than the wavy rooftops) is probably its subterranean foundation: the ballpark sits in a recessed bowl, so fans enter not at ground level, but halfway up the stands. Dodger Stadium is traditionally viewed as a pitcher's park due to a combination of history, geometry and meteorology, but in modern times it plays quite neutral. At 330 feet down the lines, 375 in the alleys and an even 400 feet to straightaway center, it's not a small park, but the ball carries well in the still air of the ravine, especially during daytime games.
