Johnson Fain is leading a design team in creating a comprehensive stadium improvement plan for Dodger Stadium.  The plan will bring the most up-to-date amenities to Los Angeles Dodger fans while preserving and celebrating the tradition of the historic venue first opened in 1962. The improvements, anticipated to be completed by Opening Day of the 2012 season, will set a new standard for Dodger Stadium as the home of Los Angeles baseball for the next 50 years. The new facilities are being designed to meet LEED® SILVER sustainability standards.

The Dodger Stadium NEXT 50 plan will feature Dodger Way, a ceremonial new gateway and urban plaza surrounded by an administrative office building for the Dodgers organization, the Dodger Experience, an interactive museum showcasing the history of the Dodgers and baseball worldwide, a flagship Dodger Store and the Dodger Cafe.  Connecting all the elements of the project is The Green Necklace, a ring of gardens, open plazas and amenities surrounding the existing stadium.  The Top of the Park plaza located at the highest elevation on site will feature breathtaking 360 degree views encompassing the Downtown skyline and Santa Monica Bay, the Hollywood Hills and San Gabriel Mountains, and the Dodger Stadium baseball diamond.  Other features within the Green Necklace are two 8 level, 900 car parking structures and a range of food service and retail concessions.
