Dodger Stadium to get $100 million upgrade
The Los Angeles Dodgers plan to welcome the All-Star Game back to Dodger Stadium in 2020 with a $100 million renovation of their landmark ballpark.
The primary addition will be a Centerfield Plaza area spanning nearly 2 acres behind the outfield fences, creating a “front door” to the famously tough-to-access hillside park. The plaza will include food, entertainment and a statue of Sandy Koufax, which will join a statue of Jackie Robinson already on the property.
Gooden busted again: Former New York Mets ace Dwight Gooden was arrested Monday night in Newark, N.J., on DWI charges after police said he was pulled over for driving the wrong direction on a one-way street. The arrest came a month after Gooden was charged with drug possession after police said they found bags of cocaine in his car during a traffic stop in Holmdel, N.J.
