Through 8 games the Dodgers are averaging 40,270, a healthy number (now second in the league behind the Phillies), until you realize that that is just 72 percent of Dodger Stadium’s 56,000 seating capacity ...

That's easily the largest seat capacity of any major league team. MLB teams have don't play at Astroturfed behemoths like Riverfront and Veteran's anymore, most have new ball parks with smaller seating capacities, better views and real grass. The Dodgers need a new park. And new ownership.

Largest, yes--but not by much. And when you consider the size of the markets of other teams with close to the same capacity, and the percentage to which they fill those seats, the Dodgers are indeed in big trouble.

Ebbets Field sounds good to me.
