Holman Stadium at Dodgertown


Holman Stadium is a baseball stadium in Vero Beach, Florida, built in 1953 to accommodate spring training for the Dodgers as part of a complex called Dodgertown. In addition to the Dodgers' spring games, it was also the home of the Vero Beach Devil Rays of the Florida State League, through the 2008 season. Official seating capacity at the stadium is 6,500. When the stadium was constructed in 1953, the cost was roughly $117 million. Holman Stadium is unique for its open air dugouts that are dug out along the sides of the field. The stadium is rich in history and unlike most other stadiums of its kind.

The Holman Stadium complex and conference center have hosted training sessions by the New Orleans Saints, the Kansas City Chiefs, the Philadelphia Eagles, the Miami Hurricanes, the Chunichi Dragons of Japan, the Osaka Buffaloes (Japan) and the LG Twins from Korea. the neighborhood around Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles is expected to be renamed Dodgertown, in keeping the spirit of the Dodgers' longtime spring-training home.

Dodgertown became the Vero Beach Sports Village in 2010. It is now used for sports tournaments including baseball and football tournaments, concerts, monster truck rallies and other special events.
