Dodger Stadium To Get $100M Upgrade In Time For 2020 All-Star Game
Dodger Stadium is getting an upgrade just in time for the 2020 All-Star Game. The team announced a $100 million renovation plan for a new centerfield plaza with food vendors, a beer garden and a children’s play area.
Retired Hall of Fame sportscaster Vin Scully reunited with other Dodger greats -- including Steve Garvey, Sandy Koufax, and Fernando Valenzuela -- to help the team roll out the new plans.
In addition to the new additions to the centerfield plaza -- currently used to store equipment -- the renovation will include improvements that will allow fans to walk around the entire stadium on all levels for the first time ever. The Dodgers are also building new elevators and escalators.
