The third-oldest baseball stadium in the MLB, after Fenway Park in Boston and Wrigley Field in Chicago, Dodger Stadium is a destination for sports lovers, as well as music fans. Legendary artists like Elvis Presley, Elton John, and the Beatles have all performed at the venue, and the stadium still hosts blockbuster concerts today.
