Dodger Stadium is the third oldest stadium in baseball and it’s full of history.
From Sandy Koufax to Clayton Kershaw the place Tommy Lasorda nicknamed “Blue Heaven on Earth,” is as picturesque as it gets for a sports stadium.
Nestled atop its perch overlooking downtown Los Angeles, with the iconic Hollywood sign in the backdrop, when the sun sets at Chavez Ravine behind the San Gabriel mountains it’s a photographer’s dream. No wonder it’s one of the most Instagrammable places in the country.

According to a new research study by FlashPicks, the home of the Los Angeles Dodgers has been named the most Instagrammable MLB stadium in America. The study measured “photos per seat” by comparing the number of Instagram posts tagged at each Major League Baseball stadium.
It’s no surprise that Dodger Stadium took home the crown. It is the largest stadium in MLB with a capacity crowd of 56,000 fans. However, even when taking capacity into consideration, the Dodgers average 12.32 photos per seat, the fourth-highest marker in all of MLB stadiums.
Opened in 1962, Dodger Stadium is iconic. From the palm trees, picturesque views, pastel colored seats, Dodger Dogs, and Micheladas, the park is as much a visual landmark as it is a baseball cathedral.
The numbers back it up. Each year over four million fans walk through the gates of Chavez Ravine, phones in hand, ready to document their night under the lights. The panoramic shots from Top Deck, selfies with the downtown skyline, and snapshots of Shohei Ohtani at the plate have become social media staples.

Unlike some newer, tech-heavy ballparks, Dodger Stadium thrives on contrast—the modern energy of Los Angeles against the timeless backdrop of baseball’s traditions. It’s a place where generations meet: grandparents who watched Sandy Koufax in the ‘60s now sit beside grandchildren recording TikToks of Shohei Ohtani’s 101 MPH cutter, followed by a mammoth home run at the plate.
It’s that blend of history and Hollywood glamour that makes the Dodgers’ home field uniquely photogenic. Fans don’t just post about the game—they post about the feeling of being there.
Dodger Stadium’s ranking reflects a broader trend: baseball’s ballparks have become destinations beyond the box score. From Fenway Park’s Green Monster selfies to rooftop views at Oracle Park in San Francisco, stadiums are now as much about content creation as they are about competition.
But in Los Angeles, the numbers say it all. Over 700,000 Instagram posts prove what Angelenos have always known—Dodger Stadium isn’t just where baseball is played. It’s where memories are made, shared, and immortalized in pixels.
