BLUE STREET at DODGER STADIUM
“The New LA Dodgers center field for the 2020 All Star Games.”
Blue Street is a new destination with an open-air street that completes the 360 circulation around the ballpark to offer fans easier orientation around the site. The Dodger Stadium site is difficult to navigate. Creating a sense of place around the ballpark. Blue Street, the new center field for Dodger Stadium will provide a loge level connection that will allow 360’ circulation of the stadium with improved vertical circulation. Previously isolated from its surrounding neighborhood, Dodger Stadium will be better connected to Elysian Park, Chinatown, and Sunset Blvd through Blue Street’s bridge architecture and strategic transportation connections. Blue Street will hold the best of Los Angeles food and retail with space for Fan experience. Blue Street is accessible to all fans and the upper level decks provide fans a chance to take in the iconic symmetrical view of Dodger Stadium.
Blue Street in center field offers an improved postcard view for the 56,000 fans in the traditional 1962 stadium bowl and offers a unique view of the game never seen before from center field for the thousands of fans that will use the new center field entrance. The goal of the project is to create a more social area in the outfield that will appeal to everyone in the ballpark and be a hallmark of the “new” Dodger Stadium, reflecting the “new” LA in the “new” urban scene of Blue Street that will complement the existing stadium.
