Light Up Stadium To Honor Floyd
Dodgers Stadium was lit up for 8 minutes and 46 seconds Wednesday night ... and the team says it's all in an effort to pay tribute to George Floyd.
The MLB squad announced they turned on the lights at Chavez Ravine at 9 p.m. PT to stand in unity with "all Angelenos" who are outraged by Floyd's tragic death.
The 8 minutes and 46 seconds represents the same amount of time a Minneapolis cop had his knee on the neck of Floyd, before the 46-year-old ultimately passed away.
Thousands of others in L.A. joined in the light-up gesture ... with some individuals even stopping to pull out their phones' flashlights on city streets to honor Floyd.
