What People Are Saying About Dodger Stadium

Featured Review

Contributor

Contributor

The Venue – At a time when baseball modernity has defined itself through references to distant history, Dodger Stadium stands as an artifact of the recent past, a forsaken time when bigger was better. This 56,000-seat stadium nestled in Chavez Ravine, honors that era, brashly and beautifully defying the current belief that baseball requires a small, intimate theater. Recent renovations, providing more parking, new suites and an expanded dugout section have only accentuated the stadium's expansive allure. Over the next 50 years, a stadium improvement plan will transform acres of parking…

Editor's Tips

Parking:
Dodger Stadium offers plenty of parking. Designated lots are definitely the best parking option.
The Extras:
No trip to Dodgers Stadium would be complete without a Dodger Dog--a 10-inch frank as good as any you'd find on Coney Island.

  1. “Almost no public transportation choices- parking is $15 bucks and a real pain. The wait to get out can be over an hour at times. There is nothing around the Stadium in the way of restaurants or bars. Dodger fans can and will be abusive to other teams fans”
  2. “The view is great from just about anywhere, you can go cheap in the pavilion or expensive in the dugout club - or for the best value try the infield reserve.”
  3. “The ball games are always fun.”
  4. “Every seat has a good view.”

  8. “The parking was a little traumatic, but once you're inside with a Dodger dog and the roar of the crowd in your ears, Dodger Stadium is a great place to be.”
  9. “So we all know Dodger's Stadium is great fun - but if you want a stellar experience, get a few dugout seats - these are the ones just behind.”
  10. “With the recent renovations to Dodger Stadium, I'm proud to say that the new seats, while still plastic, are now actually comfortable, and the new Baseline Field Boxes are tempting, though pricey.”
  11. “The views of the game were fantastic from the mid-tier, where my seats were.”

Never again!!!!!!!!!!

by mungo4

Well, I never ever thought I would make this decision nor write a review expressing my view. I just got back from the Dodger/Reds game last night. It was my first game of the season (and last for my life!).

I have been going to Dodger games for 50 years. I shared season tickets for 12 years. I have noticed a steady deterioration of the overall experience the last few years but I love the game and the Dodgers have been my team. After last night I will never go to a home game again! The experience was terrible starting from the entrance and got worse. Yes, the fan base rivals that of a Raider game! Yes, the stadium is aged and unappealing. Yes, the prices are outrageous and the lines are unacceptable slow. But, what drove me over the edge was the obvious lack of concern to provide any sense of giving the paying customers any value what so ever for their money! The crowd was small and they cared less about providing service. Having to stand in line for two innings (this after missing almost two innings while parking!) to get something to eat. If this was a sellout I could understand, but they did not even have all their food stands open! Really! How about paying the players a million or so less per year and hire a couple more employees to provide service to the paying fan! Let's see........ make the average fan miss 20-40% of the game that they paid to see so we (The Dodgers) can save an extra $1,000.00!

The whole experience for me was disappointing to the point where I will never return! I will see if I can catch an away game some time. As mad as I am I feel very sorry for Mr. Scully. It must crush him to see the destruction of the organization from all points.

danger zone

by JCohn

I love the Dodgers, I have for over 25 years. But, the owners have let this stadium turn into one of L.A.s worst places to go. Unless you're looking to get involved in a gang war - stay away.

Dodger Stadium; Enter At Your Own Risk!

by sbrules

Most of the people who have written positive reviews are living in the O'Malley past when the Dodger organization was the class of the Majors! Under the recent owners Dodger Stadium on game night is one of the most dangerous places to be in the city, as civiilzed people have their first encounter with uncivilized gang members from the time they are in the parking lot to the time they sit down! Nothing but loud, obnoxious drunks, swearing , assaulting, and harrassing every one they see! Dont bring your wife or children!! This should be the number one stop on the Gangland Tour Bus!

dodger stadium yea not

by big poppy blue

Has to be the most unsafe ballpark in America. I sat next to a girl with a SF hat and heard the worst slurs ever. Then 3 gentleman were jumped at the end of the game. I can watch on tv at home. I know get over it or thats what you get wearing SF hat to game. I hope no one from los feliz wears those stupid clothes to Hollywood or else watch your back

The heart and soul of Los Angeles

by cnavarrette1217

Dodger Stadium is hands down one of the greatest Baseball Stadiums in the history of baseball. It is the home of the Dodger Dog, Nancy Bea the great organ player, Vin Scully the greatest broadcaster in all of sports. You may complain about fans being to rowdy, but go to any stadium in this country and you'll see the same thing there too. Don't let a few fans who may of had to much to drink make you think all Dodger fans are like that. You complain about parking, it's like that in other places too. The prices are more or less the same as well. If you think it's a little pricy, then you shouldn't be going to the games every week. If you think parking is tough to get out of, then relax and hang out with some of the other Dodger fans enjoying the results of the game. If you are on a friday or weekend game, where can you possibly being going to the point where you become frustrated due to bad traffic. This is Los Angeles!!!! There is traffic everywhere!!!! Dodger Stadium is the heart and soul of Los Angeles, just because you had a bad day at the ballpark, doesn't give you the right to say such things in a negative and ignorant tone. If you can't appreciate greatness don't go, the Dodgers don't need you. You should just move to San Francisco and become a Giants fan, if you aren't one already. However if you're mind can't be changed then I suggest that you come back in about three or maybe four years when, the upgrades to the stadium and parking lot will be more modernized and a more convenient to those who are not regulars to the game. Until then, the fans, the organization and the city would be very grateful if you kept your opinions to yourself.

  • Pros: Great food, great fans, beautiful women and a great team.
  • Cons: Traffic, and parking (What do you expect it's L.A)
