Baseball is hitting it out of the park at the Los Angeles Olympics from July 13 to July 19, 2028.
Where is baseball being contested at the Los Angeles Olympics?
All baseball rounds at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics will be held at Dodger Stadium, the oldest Major League Baseball stadium on the West Coast and home of the MLB’s Los Angeles Dodgers. The stadium is carved into the hillside of Chavez Ravine and overlooks downtown LA and the San Gabriel mountains, which makes it the most Instagrammable MLB stadium with the highest number of Instagram hashtags.
Legendary Dodgers manager Tommy Lasorder nicknamed the stadium “Blue Heaven on Earth.” Home to Hall of Famers and World Champions, Dodger Stadium features a multi-colored pastel seating layout of yellow, light orange, sea foam green, and light blue to reflect its original 1962 design.
How big is the baseball venue for the 2028 Olympics?
Dodger Stadium has a seating capacity of approximately 56,000.
What other sports or events are held at Dodger Stadium outside of the Olympics?
Dodger Stadium has served as the stage for a number of global pop sensations and legends throughout its modern history. The Beatles performed at the stadium in 1966 for the stadium’s very first concert and the group’s second-to-last formal live performance ever. In 1975, Elton John performed two sold-out and career-defining concerts for over 100,000 total fans at Dodger Stadium that cemented him as a global legend. In the iconic sequined Dodgers baseball uniform, he famously made history as hosting the largest concert ever done by a single artist at that time.
Almost a decade later in 1984, the stadium hosted the finale of The Jacksons’ Victory Tour, which marked Michael Jackson’s last time performing on tour with his brothers. Recently, Dodger Stadium has been the venue for many current artists like Beyoncé, Lady Gaga, My Chemical Romance, the Jonas Brothers and more.
What Olympic sports or events were held in Dodger Stadium at previous Olympic Games?
In 1984, Dodger Stadium hosted baseball at the Olympics as a demonstration sport featuring an eight-team tournament format. The U.S. roster featured future major league stars like Mark McGwire, Barry Larkin and Will Clark and ultimately lost to Japan in the final game.
