Glendale in the wake of the Dodgers bankruptcy

The Los Angeles Dodgers bankruptcy could ripple all the way to Glendale, where the team plays its annual spring-training games.

The Dodgers filed for Chapter 11 reorganization Monday amid months of financial woes and nasty divorce proceedings between owners Frank and Jamie McCourt.

The Dodgers and Chicago White Sox play at Glendale’s spring-training stadium Camelback Ranch Glendale, which opened in 2008 at 111th Avenue and Camelback Road.

As part of the bankruptcy, the Dodgers could ask for court approval to reject certain agreements, including with Glendale, said Valley bankruptcy attorney John Hebert, of Polsinelli Shughart.

For instance, the Dodgers and White Sox agreed to operate Camelback Ranch for Glendale, when it opened three years ago. That agreement requires the teams to pay the city $1 per year in rent and provide for stadium services, such as event planning, concessions, security and parking control.
