The team continued spring training in Vero Beach <br />after the franchise relocated to Los Angeles in the late 1950's. Amer the conclusion of World War <br />Il, the United States government returned to the City the Vero Beach airport for municipal rather <br />than military use. The former barracks that housed the pilots in training at the Vero Beach Naval Air <br />Station became City property and were then used for housing the Dodgers. The City then sold the <br />land to the [lodgers which now comprises Dodgertown, and Holman Stadium was completed shortly <br />thereafter in 1953. In total, the Rodgers have been conducting spring training activities in Vero <br />Beach and Indian River County for 52 years. <br />7-1 <br />
