Dodger Stadium

Shaping an icon of sports history

Opened in 1962, Dodger Stadium is the third oldest, continuously used park in the MLB with its own distinctive West Coast aesthetic. Working with famed urban planner Janet Marie Smith, we helped to improve visitor circulation by designing everything from wayfinding signage, murals, and sponsorship ads to team history displays, family-friendly fan areas, and concessions. We revisited historic typefaces, the stadium’s original color palette, and revitalized and incorporated the classic hexagonal chevron shape so iconic to Dodger Stadium. Now the 2nd most Instagrammed location on Earth, Dodger Stadium boasts a fan experience that fits its dramatic location overlooking downtown LA.

“Since 2013 Dodger Stadium has been ranked one of the ‘most-instagrammed’ locations in the world, and we feel that is due in no small part to the visual interest that Ashton Design brought to our projects. There is not a photo taken by a fan that doesn’t have something in it that the design team touched.”

One of the major initiatives during the Dodger Stadium renovation was to make the stadium more family-friendly by including activities specifically targeted toward younger fans. Created in partnership with the Children’s Hospital Los Angeles, the Play Zone offers kids a place to play before and during games. Dotted around the stadium are life-size player bobbleheads, based on the original hand-painted papier-mâché collectibles from the early 1960s, that enhance the kid-friendly atmosphere.
