Editing Dodger Stadium (section)

===Seating===
Dodger Stadium has never increased its seating capacity, and was the only current MLB park (through 2005) that had never done so, due to a [[Special-use permit|conditional-use permit]] that limits Dodger Stadium's seating capacity to 56,000. Whenever higher-revenue lower seats were added, some in the upper deck or pavilion were removed to keep the number the same.<ref name="Cathedrals">{{cite book|last=Lowry|first=Phillip|title=Green Cathedrals|url=https://archive.org/details/greencathedralsu0000lowr_u1c9|url-access=registration|year=2005|publisher=Walker & Company|location=New York City|isbn=0-8027-1562-1}}</ref> Through the sale of standing room only tickets, the Dodgers' 2009 home opener drew 57,099 fans, the largest crowd in stadium history. Following a number of incidents in the early 1970s in which fans showered [[Cincinnati Reds]] left fielder [[Pete Rose]] with beer, bottles, cups, and trash, the sale of beer was discontinued in both pavilions. Beer sales were reinstated in the right field pavilion in 2008, when that section was converted into the [[All-you-can-eat seats|All You Can Eat Pavilion]]. Fans seated in that section can eat unlimited hot dogs and peanuts and also have access to free soft drinks. There is a charge for beer.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.espn.com/espn/thelife/news/story?id=6559938|title=An MLB guide to all you can eat|first=Rick|last=Paulas|date=18 May 2011|access-date=8 July 2014|publisher=[[ESPN]]}}</ref>

With the retirement of the original [[Yankee Stadium (1923)|Yankee Stadium]] and [[Shea Stadium]] in 2008, the park reigned as the largest capacity ballpark in the Majors.

As of 2010, there are a total of 2,098 club seats and 68 luxury suites. Both of these amounts will increase once the renovations are complete,{{when|date=June 2022}} with the necessary offset to comply with its conditional-use permit.

Due to renovations made in the 2012–2013 offseason, the current maximum capacity of Dodger Stadium is less than 56,000, although the team's president, [[Stan Kasten]], refuses to provide an exact number.<ref>{{cite news| url=https://www.latimes.com/sports/dodgers/la-sp-0811-dodgers-notes-20130811-story.html | work=Los Angeles Times | first=Bill | last=Shaikin | title=Dodgers take aim at 4-million home attendance | date=August 10, 2013}}</ref> A 53,393 attendance is considered a sellout.<ref>{{cite tweet|user=Dodgers|author=Los Angeles Dodgers|number=378406052506529792|date=13 September 2013|title=Tonight's crowd of 53,393 represented the largest paid attendance in @MLB this season and was the No. Dodgers 24th sellout of 2013.
