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.
