    With a background that includes swaying palm trees and the San Gabriel Mountains there is no other ballpark that you could be at other than Dodger Stadium. It’s the third oldest ballpark behind Fenway Park and Wrigley Field, but Dodger Stadium looks as if it is one of the newest stadiums in baseball while keeping its classic charm.
