The Los Angeles Dodgers announced extended netting at Dodger Stadium will be in place prior to the club beginning a six-game homestand on Memorial Day. Earlier this month, the Dodgers added eight feet to the height of current netting in place behind home plate and above both dugouts.
That increased it to 33 feet in height, and the 124 feet in added extension runs the protective netting from both dugouts to the elbow bend in front of the baseline seats on field level.
“The decisions to both raise and extend the nets at Dodger Stadium were made after extensive data analysis and consultation with both players and fans,” Dodgers president and CEO Stan Kasten said.
