Description
Aerial photo facing west over the Coliseum and Sports Arena in Exposition Park. The Coliseum is packed with fans cheering the Los Angeles Dodgers. After relocating to Los Angeles from Brooklyn, the Dodgers played in the Coliseum until the construction of Dodger Stadium was completed. Though the field dimensions were ill-suited for baseball, the Dodgers attracted record crowds during their stay at the Coliseum. This shot is taken during the World Series.
