Did not go to the race, but have been to Dodger Stadium
Those that idolize the facility as some shrine to baseball that should be unsullied by an SX event need to take a step back and look at reality.
The truth is Dodger Stadium is at the end of its lifespan. It's got a lot in common with other stadiums that were built in the late '50's early '60s, and most of its contemoraries have been torn down and replaced by vastly superior, more modern stadiums.
To claim Dodger Stadium is 'too good' for SX is an insult to SX and SX fans. Many other non-baseball events that have happened on the field over the last 50 years. Shoot, SX was 'born' at the LA Coliseum, which has far more historical significance to the world and to LA. At one time or another, an SX race has been held in dozens of MLB parks, but Dodger Stadium is too good for SX? Puhhlleeeazee...
