What to Expect
Dodger Stadium is the largest and one of the oldest active ballparks in MLB, sitting in Chavez Ravine above downtown Los Angeles with views of the San Gabriel Mountains, palm trees, and the downtown skyline. The ballpark is an LA institution. It's hosted the Dodgers since 1962 and has seen everyone from Sandy Koufax to Clayton Kershaw to Shohei Ohtani. The game-day experience is uniquely LA: arrive late, leave early, traffic everywhere, perfect weather, and some of the best food in baseball thanks to LA's diverse culinary scene. The Dodger Dog is iconic. Games run about 3 hours.

Game Day
Parking gates open only half an hour before the stadium gates, so there is little waiting time built in.
Buy parking in advance: the club asks for it specifically to speed up the auto gates.
Do not plan to eat in the lot. The Dodgers prohibit consuming food and alcohol there entirely, not just grilling.
Parking & Directions
Be mentally prepared for really bad traffic getting in and out. It is much worse than Angel Stadium. Get there early and leave early if you can. You can bring in your own food, snacks, and sealed drinks.
The Dodger Stadium Express is free for ticket holders from Union Station and the South Bay; the Union Station service uses a dedicated bus lane.
The club encourages advance parking purchase to expedite movement through the auto gates.
Food & Drinks
Dodger Dogs are fun for the experience but don't get your hopes up. No good value beer either at about $19 for a tall can. Walk around the pavilion area for most of the new additions and check out the Gold Glove bar in left field.
The Dodger Dog is the most iconic hot dog in baseball. Get it grilled, not steamed, for the best experience.
The street tacos and carne asada nachos reflect LA's incredible Mexican food culture. Better than you'd expect at a ballpark.
Seating
Buy the cheapest loge section ticket possible. It doesn't matter which ticket you buy because you can always find open seats behind home plate or on the baselines during weeknight games.
The Reserve Level is where the postcard view is: field, palms and mountains together.
Each level has its own entrance off its own parking terrace, so park on the level your ticket is for and you walk straight in rather than climbing.
