adminbaberuth Posted March 4, 2008 Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 Dodgers plan to break baseball's attendance record with over 115,000 as they host the Red Sox. On March 29th, the Dodgers will take on Boston in an exhibition game. So far over 90,000 tickets have been sold and they are looking to sell 25,000+ standing room tickets. The Dodgers played in the Coliseum through 1961 after moving to LA. The previous record for a baseball game is believed to be 93,103 for a Dodgers vs Yakees exhibition game, which was a fundraiser for Roy Campanella. 92,706 fans attended a World Series game in 1959 as the largest official MLB game attendance. The fence will only be 200 ft away down the left field line, so a 62 foot high screen will be used a mega wall. With the expected success of this event the Dodgers are also considering playing a regular season game at the Coliseum sometime in the future.
