Dodger Stadium
Stadium · Los Angeles, California
Dodger Stadium sits in Chavez Ravine above downtown Los Angeles and has been the home of the Dodgers since it opened in 1962. It is one of the oldest ballparks in Major League Baseball and among the largest by seating capacity, at roughly 56,000. The mid-century bowl is open to the sky, the outfield looks toward the San Gabriel Mountains, and the downtown towers show over the top deck. Most visitors come for a game, which is as much a social evening as a sporting event, with Dodger Dogs, garlic fries and a crowd that arrives late and leaves early. The season runs roughly late March to September, with October for the playoffs when the team qualifies. Traffic at game time is heavy and the car park is huge and slow to empty, so many fans take the shuttle bus from Union Station. On non-game days you can sometimes take a stadium tour of the field level and dugouts. Prices and rules change, so confirm before you go.

Dodger Stadium is open mainly on game days. The regular season runs roughly from late March to late September, with playoff games in October when the team qualifies. Gates usually open about two hours before first pitch for ticket holders, and the car park lots often open earlier than that. Most games are evening starts, with some afternoon games on weekends and holidays, so check the schedule for your date. On non-game days the stadium is closed to the public apart from guided tours, which run on a limited schedule that changes by month and is cancelled around events. Confirm tour times and gate times on the team's official channels before you travel.
