LA Coliseum 115,000+ Planned for Dodgers vs. Red Sox
Dodgers plan to break baseball's attendance record with over 115,000 as they host the Red Sox.
On March 29th, the Dodgers will take on Boston in an exhibition game. So far over 90,000 tickets have been sold and they are looking to sell 25,000+ standing room tickets. The Dodgers played in the Coliseum through 1961 after moving to LA. The previous record for a baseball game is believed to be 93,103 for a Dodgers vs Yakees exhibition game, which was a fundraiser for Roy Campanella. 92,706 fans attended a World Series game in 1959 as the largest official MLB game attendance.
The fence will only be 200 ft away down the left field line, so a 62 foot high screen will be used a mega wall. With the expected success of this event the Dodgers are also considering playing a regular season game at the Coliseum sometime in the future.
More on the game at the Dodger's website.

And I would bet 70,000 of those in attendance are Red Sox fans.

Are there even dugouts in the place?
And I would bet 65,000 of those Red Sox fans didn't own a Red Sox hat until late October 2004.
Sox fan since 1990. I still don't have a hat.
Go clog your own freeways in Boston all you Sox Bandwagoners
