Bring back onions to Dodger Stadium

Bring back onions to Dodger Stadium

The Issue

Ask anyone who grew up in Greater Los Angeles area about their childhood and it will likely include a memory from Dodger Stadium. People of all ages will recall many things from these games, be it Randy Newman’s “I Love L.A.”, the peanut man, listening to Vin call the game with a portable radio…the list goes on and on. But there is one thing that no one would be able to talk about a Dodgers game without mentioning—the Dodger Dog.

For better and worse, these mediocre hotdogs were and are a staple of any Dodgers game. The visceral experience of a Dodger Dog goes well beyond its mere existence and consumption. It’s the process in which each individual curates their dog to their specific liking. Upon receiving your Dog from the concession stand you race over to load it up to your heart’s desire with ketchup, mustard, relish, and most importantly, chopped white onions.

This is where things have gone awry. Upon returning to Dodger Stadium this season, Dodgers Nation was heartbroken to learn that these white onions that have held such a special place in so many hearts are no longer available as a topping.

This is an outrage that must be addressed at once. To Dodgers owners and team leaders—bring back chopped onions for our Dodger Dogs.
