1960' Dodger Stadium - Chavez Ravine - Black & White Photo " Vinnel Steel" (B). The steel beams in the photo are stenciled “VINNELL STEEL.” Vinnell Constructors was the general contractor for building Dodger Stadium, hired by Walter O’Malley in 1960. The background shows a multi-tiered, sweeping concrete seating bowl—exactly how Dodger Stadium was built, using extensive precast concrete pieces on site (a hallmark of the project). So the photo likely captures work inside Chavez Ravine during the stadium’s construction before its 1962 opening.
