The 2020 MLB season was shaping to be an exciting year for the Los Angeles Dodgers on many fronts. Not only did a roster coming off a franchise-record 106 wins add All-Stars Mookie Betts and David Price, but Dodger Stadium was undergoing a significant renovation.
The estimated $100 million project was announced last year and projected to be completed in time for Opening Day — originally slated for March 26 — of this season. Heavy rain during multiple stretches of the past winter caused some delays, but construction continued as the 2020 season drew near.
Of course, the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has prevent MLB from beginning its campaign, and also impacted the rate at which the Dodger Stadium renovation was being completed as construction crews operated within health and physical distancing recommendations made by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
