This Day In Dodgers History: Dodger Stadium Attendance Reaches 100 Million; MLB Commissioner Bud Selig Announces Takeover Of Front Office Operations

On April 20, 1999, the Los Angeles Dodgers earned a 3-2 victory over the Atlanta Braves in a game that was much more monumental for Dodger Stadium history. The matchup drew 37,717 fans, which pushed total attendance past 100 million since Chavez Ravine opened.

Upon moving from Brooklyn prior to the 1958 season, the Dodgers made their home at the L.A. Memorial Coliseum. Dodger Stadium officially opened April 10, 1962, and seemingly provided a spark for the Dodgers as they won what was a then-L.A. franchise record 102 games.

The Dodgers finished the 1962 season with 2,755,184 in total home attendance.
