On March 29, 2008, the Los Angeles Dodgers hosted the Boston Red Sox in an exhibition game at the LA Coliseum. The field had unusual dimensions, with left field a mere 201 feet from home plate. A 60 feet tall screen was placed above the left field wall to make up for the short distance. The Red Sox won 7-4.
The sellout crowd of 115,300 set a world record for a baseball game. Proceeds from the game went to the ThinkCure cancer research charity.
