Yankees fans experience yet another reason why Dodger Stadium is a total disgrace

Looks like those Dodger Stadium renovations are going over quite well, aren't they? Shouldn't the organization that spends the most money in the sport have the most accommodating and safe ballpark experience?

Back in 2023, the Yankees learned the hard way about how outdated Dodger Stadium was when Aaron Judge crashed into the outfield wall making a spectacular defensive play. His foot slammed into a concrete slab at the base of the wall and he suffered a fractured toe, which derailed New York's season and nearly jeopardized the future of their franchise player.

The Dodgers then said "Whoops, can't believe we still have concrete lining the base of the outfield walls! That's not safe! Guess we'll fix that!" That lovely feature went unchanged for over 60 years. Sixty. Years.

Then, this offseason, Dodger Stadium underwent a $100 million renovation, but it seems they overlooked the structural aspect of things while they were instead making everything exponentially more expensive for fans.

A Yankees fan from Mexico City visiting LA for the marquee matchup said he was hit in the back with a piece of falling concrete while he was sitting in his seat on Friday night. Nobody would be surprised if this resulted in a hefty lawsuit. Turns out the Dodgers' luck might run out after Judge's gesture of good will by not taking legal action against them when he got injured.

The fan, Ricardo Aquino, was attended to by medical staff and security, who confiscated the piece of concrete from another fan who had it in his possession. The Dodgers say they are aware of the situation and won't say anything further until they gather all the necessary information.

The night got worse for Aquino and the other Yankees fans in attendance, too. New York blew a 5-2 lead with a unique meltdown as the Dodgers erupted for six runs in the eventual 8-5 win.

Fans seated in the same area as Aquino expressed disbelief and disappointment with the incident. Like many of us, it's incredibly difficult to fathom how this could happen in 2025, let alone in the home stadium of the team with far and away the highest payroll in the sport.

"Historic" ballpark? More like "prehistoric" ballpark. Start using those Ohtani profits to fix the foundation of your home, Dodgers.
