Getting to Dodger Stadium
Los Angeles Dodgers · Los Angeles, CA
Dodger Stadium has no rail of its own, so the Dodgers run the connection themselves: the Dodger Stadium Express is free to any ticket holder and meets Metro at Union Station and in the South Bay. Driving is published by freeway AND by which gate each route delivers you to, with separate departure routes per gate — the club treats leaving as its own problem.
Tips & Fan Reports
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.
Four Metro lines converge on Union Station (A, B, D and, via Metrolink and Amtrak, the regional network), which is where the Express picks up.
From the 101 southbound it is the Alvarado Street exit, then roughly a mile along Sunset before Vin Scully Avenue.
The Dodger Stadium Express is free with a game ticket — the cheapest way in, and it meets Metro at Union Station.
Every arrival route is published with the gate it delivers you to, and each gate has its own departure route.

- Public Transit
- The Dodger Stadium Express is free for all ticket holders and connects at Union Station and in the South Bay.

Metrolink and Amtrak also reach Union Station.
- Rideshare
- Uber/Lyft drop-off is at the designated rideshare zone near the center field entrance. Post-game pickup is extremely congested. Walk to the lower lot levels for faster service. Budget 20-40 minutes from downtown or Hollywood.
