Video of Dodger Stadium appearing to look flooded due to Tropical Storm Hilary went viral on Sunday, but some fans were skeptical about the authenticity of the clip.
The stadium’s parking lot appears to be underwater in the video, but Angelenos know the iconic stadium actually sits atop a hill. The video appears to be authentic, but the parking lot is likely merely wet—and not flooded.
The Dodgers social media team responded to the viral clip by posting a photo of the stadium from Monday morning. The venue, which opened in 1962, looks to be undamaged by the storm.
“Dodger Stadium trending?” the team’s post read. “We get it. It looks beautiful this morning.”

In preparation for Sunday’s expected heavy rainfall, the Dodgers, Angels and Padres all played doubleheaders on Saturday ahead of the storm.
The Dodgers are on the road at Cleveland and Boston this week. They return to Chavez Ravine to play a three-game series against Arizona beginning next Monday.
