Travel
Overview
Dodger Stadium sits on a hilltop in Chavez Ravine above downtown LA with limited road access, creating one of the most notorious traffic situations in sports. The stadium is isolated from any walkable neighborhood, so you either drive, rideshare, or take the free Dodger Stadium Express shuttle from Union Station. The shuttle is genuinely the best option: it uses a dedicated lane on Sunset Blvd and avoids the Chavez Ravine traffic entirely. If you drive, budget at least 90 minutes for transit from anywhere in the LA basin, and 30-60 minutes for post-game exit from the lots.

“Post-game exit from the parking lots takes 30-60 minutes. Stay after the game, explore the concourse, or take the shuttle.”
“The Stadium Way approach from the 110 is the fastest from downtown. The Sunset Blvd approach from the west is the most congested.”
