Take me out to the ball game Take me out with the crowd Buy me some peanuts and crackerjack... In honor of Pitchers and Catchers reporting this week, it felt like a great time to take ya'll out to the ball park. 5/5 Renovations Love that you can walk around the whole stadium. The center field area behind the pavilion seats is accessible and the added entrances make it easier to get in and around the ballpark. 5/5 Service Staff has always been very hospitable. From giving directions to answering questions. They are great with little kiddos too. They have elevators on the side if you have a wheel chair or walker (if you can walk please use the stairs). 4/5 Bathrooms Changing Tables are limited, they do have family restrooms but the lines can get longer than some batters hitting slumps. 4/5 Parking First timers it can get confusing depending on which parking lot you purchased. I suggest looking online so you can plan which entrance to use that will get you to your designated lot quickly. 5/5 Family Value Overall I've had great experiences at this ball park. From regular season to post season it gets crowded. The cost can go up depending on where you like to view the game but stay on the west side (3rd base side) to avoid the sunset in your eyes. Can't wait to get back to a ball game with my family. Cause its 1, 2, 3 Strikes your out at the old ball game... Psalm 24:8, God bless read more

Old school since 1962. After so many games and finding a way to avoid the parking lot nightmare traffic. We would rather walk into the stadium instead, plus saving us 45 bucks for parking. Since the back to back World Series the stadium is more crowded with new fans trying to jump on the band wagon. read more

Los Angeles Dodgers - Phillies vs Dodgers G4 OCT2025 - Professional Sports Teams Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Dodger fan, born and raised. Dad was a season ticket holder and I was his plus one. I didn't know it at the time, but those foundational years would prove to be beneficial during critical games, baseball trivia and all sorts of storytelling. Away games were a treat too because mom was in charge of the game snacks and she always allowed me to be her sous chef. I knew Dodger stadium like the back of my hand, and I even had special visiting privileges at the bullpen...back when the left and right field pavilion seats had no access to the main stadium. Dodger dogs were never a favorite, but hand me a Cool-A-Coo ice cream sammich and I was in heaven. On the rare occasion the concession ran out, I would settle for a chocolate Carnation ice cream in those waxy cardboard cups, but always detested the taste of the wooden spoons. Sutton, Russell, Garvey, Lopes, and Cey. Dusty Baker, Reggie Smith and Fernando were the players I most wanted to see. I always had a new pack of bubble gum ready to toss to Dusty! And the voice. The voice of the stadium. Vin Scully blaring on our portable radios - who didn't love listening to Vin calling a Dodger game? These days I prefer to enjoy games from home, but I'll always have amazing memories locked in my heart. Dare I say...three-peat??? Go Dodgers! read more

Los Angeles Dodgers - A gift from the bullpen many moons ago. - Professional Sports Teams Near Me - Los Angeles, California

It's fun to watch LA dodgers games, and it's quite exciting to witness the few home runs in a row. Although it's not always their best performance against other teams. I found it's very tedious to exit the parking lot after the games, so disorganized and packed, no clear signs for the exits, cars just piled up in lines and then were told to go to another exit. When it's a popular bubble head night, they usually have 40,000 figures distributed among 8 gates. The earlier you get to the stadium, the higher chance you'll receive one. read more

Yes, the Dodgers are playing in the 2025 World Series and have won the title! What's so spectacular about this feat? A team effort for sure and here's why: * Dodgers initially were leading 2 games to 1 in the best of 7 series, then were down 3 games to 2 games, and came from behind to take the next 2 games, winning 4 of the 7 games to become World Series champs! G1 Blue Jays 11/Dodgers 4 G2 Dodgers 5/Blue Jays 1 G3 Dodgers 6/Blue Jays 5 G4 Blue Jays 6/Dodgers 2 G5 Blue Jays 6/Dodgers 1 G6 Dodgers 3/Blue Jays 1 G7 Dodgers 5/Blue Jays 4 * Bill Klein, the last of the decimated Dodgers' bullpen, did the impossible in the 18-inning game 3 to pitch 4 innings from the 15th to 18th innings to earn the win! * Miggy Ro hit an improbable home run to tie the game at 4-4 in the 9th inning! Miggy is a light-hitting player who had only 1 extra base hit in 20 prior postseason games in his career, and this homer is his 1st home run off of a right-handed pitcher in more than a year! * With 2 outs in the 11th inning in game 7, Will Smith hits a game-winning home run with Dodgers leading 5 - 4. * Incredible defensive plays, e.g., Andy Pages did a leaping running catch in left center after colliding with Kike Hernandez (who stayed flat to the ground, thinking he missed the ball which would have lost the game) to rob the Blue Jays of a winning run. Pages covered 121 ft of ground and had a sprint speed of 29.2 ft per second! Also, Rojas strong arm threw out the winning run from 2nd base to home plate in the 9th inning of game 7; Mookie Betts did a double play by stepping on 2nd base and throwing the ball to 1st base (which is the 1st World Series clinching double play since 1947). * Yamamoto pitched in 3 games during this World Series, all on Blue Jays' turf: pitched complete game of 9 innings in game 2 to get the win, pitched 6 innings in game 6 to secure another win, and pitched 2 2/3 scoreless innings for the save in game 7 and the victory for the World Series! That's 17 2/3 innings over 3 appearances in a week without required rest, which is unheard of for US pitchers! Yamamoto's unconventional pregame training is his own blueprint: upside down exercises, yoga, extensive stretching to maximize mobility, and throwing a weighted javelin instead of traditional weightlifting to build strength and preserve his elbow. His 3 winning games have earned him the MVP of the 2025 World Series! And critics were skeptical when the Dodgers signed him up from Japan for $325 mil without having even pitched in American baseball! * Dodgers are repeat World Series champions from 2024, and this back-to-back feat is the first in 25 years! * Pitcher Clayton Kershaw, a potential Hall of Famer who has set a number of records as a Dodger and whose career started in 2008, is retiring this year after the team's 2025 World Series victory! * With bullpen performance being inconsistent this year, Manager Dave Roberts has been creative and has relied on his starting pitchers as relievers. In game 7, starting pitchers Ohtani, Yamamoto, Glasnow, and Snell were used. * Shohei Ohtani was instrumental in helping the Dodgers win the 2025 World Series where he batted .333 with 9 hits, 3 home runs, 5 RBIs, and 6 runs scored in the 7-game series. * Lots of camaraderie among Dodgers' players who respected each other and worked as a team, with each contributing to get those wins! Crazy ups and downs, but all supported and gave each other their backs with much trust. Manager Dave Roberts was awesome in guiding his players towards the ultimate win! Can't wait for each deserving player to get their diamond-studded, custom made World Series rings! Yes, what an exciting series, as it was a culmination of an exciting year for me, as I was glued to the tv to watch as much as possible the Dodgers 162 regular season games! Or, if I had to be somewhere, my cellphone was with me following the play-by-play on the internet! Now, I am in withdrawal until the start of spring training in Feb 2026, and the start of the baseball season in late March 2026! Let's see what new and exciting things the next season brings us! Go, Dodgers! read more

Always a great time at the stadium rooting for the Dodgers. For the 2024 season they debuted new food items. I'll add to my post as I try the other items, but during this visit we tried the Home Run Platter with egg rolls, gyoza, chicken skewers, and vegetable tempura with various sauces. The platter was really tasty but a little pricey. It helped that there was enough food for two. Be sure to get a soft serve ice cream for dessert too. read more

Los Angeles Dodgers have a long history that is heartbreaking to a New Yorker. I don't care where they call home because they will always represent Brooklyn historically to me. My daughter and I have been baseball fans since we were born. She took a black magic marker and wrote Dodgers on all her toys. I should try to find a photo. I was upset at the time. It was bizarre to say the least! I don't know where my daughter got this hat I'm wearing in my Cinco de Mayo photos. I'm happy she gave it to me. I'm always going to be a fan since I love Los Angeles California and their Dodgers. I have family and friends in L.A. I recommend you stay faithful no matter where your team moves!

Los Angeles Dodgers - Professional Sports Teams Near Me - Los Angeles, California

The Dodgers are one of the all-time great teams in Major League Baseball. To date, the team's 21 appearances in the World Series is second-best in MLB while the team's seven World Series victories ranks sixth. The Dodgers' most recent World Series win occurred recently, in the pandemic-shortened 2020 season. I remember that postseason well, not only because it was recent, but because the Dodgers beat the Atlanta Braves (my favorite baseball team), 4-3, in the NLCS. The 2020 NLCS was huge for the city of Atlanta because we hadn't been in the NLCS since 2001. We hadn't won the NL pennant since 1999. It was easy to get a little excited when the Braves jumped out to a 2-0 series lead. However, the Dodgers went on to become only the 14th team in MLB history to come back and win a series after being down 3-1. As an Atlanta sports fan, it was painful to watch, but not surprising nor anything we're not used to experiencing. Dodger shortstop Corey Seager was named both NLCS and World Series MVP. He became only the eighth player to win both league MVP and World Series MVP in the same season. In Game 6 of the 2020 NLCS, Seager hit a record fifth home run and also set a record for most RBIs in the NLCS with 11. Seager, along with teammates Mookie Betts and Justin Turner, each hit two homers in the World Series. The Dodgers' 2020 World Series title was the team's first since 1988. LA did appear in the World Series in back-to-back seasons in 2017 and 2018. In the 2017 World Series, the Dodgers lost in seven games to the Houston Astros. In the 2018 World Series, the Dodgers lost in five games to the Boston Red Sox. Many Dodgers fans probably agree, the Astros' 2017 title, Houston's first, should be marked with an asterisk. In 2020, an MLB investigation confirmed the Astros illegally used a camera system to steal signs during 2017 and 2018, including the 2017 postseason. While MLB handed out hefty fines and punishments, the Astros' World Series title was never taken away. The Dodgers' history is rich and includes numerous Hall of Famers such as Sandy Koufax, four-time World Series champion (1955, 1959, 1963, 1965) and one of the greatest pitchers of all time, and Tommy Lasorda, known for winning two World Series championships as manager of the Dodgers in 1981 and 1988. The Dodgers have been around since 1883. The team originated in Brooklyn and was known as the Brooklyn Dodgers from 1932 to 1957. The team relocated and became the LA Dodgers we know today in 1958. They've played at Dodger Stadium since the ballpark first opened in 1962. It's the oldest MLB ballpark west of the Mississippi and with an official current seating capacity of 56,000, it's the largest of MLB's 30 ballparks. read more

OMG! Wasn't last nights game great?!? A one-game playoff against the Cardinals capped by a bottom of the 9th blast by "CT", Chris Taylor! Next, playoff series against the hated Giants. We can do it! After all, we are the reigning champions from last year. Baseball is my #2 sport behind football, but it wasn't always. I was a diehard Dodger follower, listening to every game on radio for years as a kid, then TV when the games were available. Then, 1981's shrike shortened season occurred, and I switched. But this hasn't stopped me from lovin' the Dodgers. Besides the current Dodger crew (Turner, Kershaw, Bellinger, etc), greats from my era: Steve Garvey, Ron Cey, Davey Lopes, and Bill Russell, Steve Yeager, Dusty Baker, Reggie Smith, Rick Monday, Don Sutton, Orel Hershiser, Fernando Valenzuela, Mike Piazza, Kirk Gibson, Steve Sax, and Eric Gagne. In addition, all-time greats: Jackie Robinson, Sandy Koufax, Don Drysdale, Duke Snider, Roy Campanella, Pee Wee Reese, Maury Wills, Don Newcombe, Carl Erskine, Johnny Podres, and Willie Davis. Awesome managers: ================== Blessed to have as skippers: Tom Lasorda (21 years; 1,599 wins) and Walter Alston (23 years 2,040 wins). Vin Scully ======== How can someone work for 64 years? Vin Scully did. Scully is considered one of all the all-time greats at his craft, and that of the Dodgers, too. read more

Love the dodgers, but have a bone to pick with them. Ever since they contracted with Spectrum to show their games, it has become almost impossible for me to see a game. Spectrum now makes you pay EXTRA, over and above the 200 dollars I pay now to watch games. I just don't have the extra money, and definitely don't have an extra 300 bucks to shell out to go see a game. That makes it impossible to be a fan. It seems that a lot of people like me are in the same boat. I guess we just forget about baseball and move on? What a shame. A lifetime of being a fan thrown away because corporations need more money. read more

Besides home, this is my favorite place to be IN THE ENTIRE WORLD. I usually try to come to at least 3 games per season, and now that my kids are old enough, they get to enjoy games like i used to when I was their age. Today was a special occasion of sorts, and it turned out to be one of the best, if not thee best trip to Dodger Stadium ever. We came to LA earlier in the day for my sons doctor appointment in which he was given a clean bill of health after 8 years of checkups following what could have been open-heart surgery for him as a newborn. He can now do anything he wants with no restrictions. So to celebrate, we went to a game. That day, the guys from AM 570 sports radio were there near our seats and my kids got to meet the guys daddy listens to on the radio everyday. They were very nice. Our seats were in the pavilion (behind left field), right next to the dodgers bullpen, Sonny kids got to see the pitchers warming up. We even almost had a Kike Hernandez home run hit at us! The best was yet to come as we moved seats to the field level behind the left field foul pole. When we did, it was where many of the ballpark cameramen would situate themselves to get footage for in between innings for TV coverage. Not only did we end up on the diamond vision inside the ballpark (only my second time in my life that's happened to me in 30 years going to games here), but my kids were also featured on the Spectrum SportsNet feed and my family at home seen us! After the Dodgers won 2-1, one of the bullpen catchers tossed my daughter a ball that was used by closer Kenley Jansen. Such an awesome experience overall. read more

Baseball - really one of my least favorite sports to watch, but there's something about actually going to a game. It's such a different experience than trying to watch a game on the tv. Really, going to Dodger stadium and seeing them play live was the first time I ever made it to a game in person. Crazy thing about that game, it ended up going for about 17 innings (might have been 18) and was ridiculous fun! Everyone has their team they root for, and I'd say I'm not a Dodger fan .... but the thrill of being at the park and watching the game is well worth the experience. Dodgers are also a team that everyone knows. Quite well! They always (almost) have a team that is stacked with talent and are able of making a splash in the post season. For many you either love them or hate them. But, if your a casual fan like me, this is a fan place to go (Dodger Stadium) to take in a game and root for the local team for a couple innings. read more

My First Professional Baseball game on June 21, 2017! I had seen the Lakers (basketball) play at Staples Center and the Ducks (ice hockey) play at the Honda Center, so, it was time to visit the Dodgers (baseball) at Dodger Stadium ! Tickets were a relatively easy purchase online (with a small fee). I'm old school, so I printed them out. I made copies of them just in case my phone battery died or in case I couldn't meet my friends to give them their tickets. I had bought Dodger shirts for Alana and myself, not realizing that the LA fans really do go all out and wear blue and white to support the team! That's awesome! So many people wore baseball jerseys and t-shirts with their favorite player's name and number! This is amazing pride! It was exciting to be a part of it all! We do not have professional sports in Hawaii! Thanks to Los Angeles for allowing me join in! Let's go Dodgers! read more

Whether you love them or hate them The Los Angeles Dodgers are a historic franchise that has earned its spot as one of baseball's elite teams. With 6 World Series Championships, 23 NL Pennants, and multiple Rookie of the Year recipients The Boys in Blue are a staple in the city of LA. We all have things that bring joy to our lives and for me it's the return of spring and baseball season. Being born and raised in LA means great weather and a brand new Dodger hat in April. Players come and go, but my love for the team has never diminished. If you're visiting LA between April and October (because they'll be in the playoffs) you definitely need to take a trip to Dodger Stadium, have a couple of colds ones, get a Dodger Dog, and enjoy Americas pastime with the LA Dodgers! read more

When you are a native Angeleno, there's no doubt you've been to a Dodgers game or two! Born and raised..This family bleeds BLUE! We went to the Sunday afternoon game with the Dodgers vs Marlins. And with any large event I get anxiety with L.A. traffic. Dodger Stadium has their parking down! You can prepay online and they have parking kiosks designated for cash/credit & prepaid. There's also a discount for people who drive a Lexus! NO MORE GETTING STUCK BEHIND "THAT" GUY, paying with change, credit, confused, or has 1.2 million questions! With our prepaid parking voucher we were in in minutes! The Parking Staff was great at funneling you where you need to go in a timely manner. We parked close to our seats, walked up a few flights of stairs (handicap parking was full..But they do have shuttle service available if needed). Getting through the gates was easy and friendly. They do a thorough bag check and you need to go through a metal detector. Prohibited items include: Weapons, umbrellas, cans and glass bottles, beverage containers larger than 1 liter in size (You can bring in only 1 liter bottles or smaller of non-alcoholic beverages, with an unbroken seal), alcoholic beverages, purses, bags or backpacks larger than 16x16x8 inches, hard-sided coolers, beachballs and inflatables (although we always see them being bounced through the crowds), baseball bats, banners, signs and flags, laser pointers, noisemakers, fireworks/firecrackers, pets (Except for service animals or during specific promotions), wrapped packages, and professional photographic tools or equipment (tripods, monopods and lenses longer than 6 inches). Most of these are pretty self explanatory! Once in, we enjoyed all the photo ops set up around the park. Food galore! Beer is Spendy! ($14.75 & up). They have filling stations for water bottles! I LOVE THAT! Bathrooms were clean and well stocked and even include red& green lights over stalls (no more looking under doors!) Seating can be a little confusing. But staff is knowledgeable and helpful. Everything on the third base side is odd numbers and everything on first base side is even. Park accordingly for minimal walking. We had the traditional Super Dodger Dog and Budweiser. A baseball game just isn't a baseball game without it. (Unless you make it to Philipe's for a double dip sandwich near Chinatown). Seats are a little tight. Both width and knee space. But we made it work. (They gotta get ALL those fans in). We bought into the 50/50. Somebody went home with $15k, sadly it wasn't us. But still..it's a chance! Lots of little games and entertainment happen throughout the game. It is a bit of sensory overload for anyone with sensory handicaps. When the game was over, people funneled out smoothly. The parking lot empties quick! It's amazing! Definitely a positive experience! read more

They have given us the best sports announcer in the history of sport. 2.) They embody America's sports history. Which other team has an announcer that actually met Babe Ruth? And is named after pedestrians that dodged streetcars in Brooklyn? And hired the first African-American baseball player in the Majors? And was on the first TV broadcast of a baseball game. 3.) Jackie Robinson was a Dodger. This alone is reason enough to love the Dodgers. (And he was a Bruin......GO BRUINS!) 4.) Sandy Koufax. Orel Hershiser. Fernando Valenzuela. 5.) Dodger Stadium. 6.) Six World Series titles. 7.) The Dodgers organized the best good-bye ever for Vin Scully. Thank you, Vin!!! read more

I love the dodgers, but let's face it, this team is wasted away Kershaw's early prime years with mediocre talent and a toxic owner like Frank McCourt. I hope I'm wrong, but I don't think this group of guys will ever win a world series title. As far as the overall fan experience, Dodgers Stadium is a complete dump which already has received its own 1-star review. I've already stopped going to games due to the laughable price gouging on everything from beers and peanuts to crappy parking. I'll always be a fan, but will just be watching on TV. When I was a kid I wanted to go to a game more than anything, but not the case anymore. As badly as I want to take my kids to a game, it's gonna cost me an arm and a leg and I have to cover their ears from ignorant and unruly "fans". This is a money hungry franchise with no intent to improve the stadium or overall fan experience. Take a look at what the Atlanta Falcons are doing for their fans and families, you might be able to learn something. read more

To be fair, I don't love baseball. It can be slow paced and low scoring, so I would need a lot of snacks and liquor to distract me. Since I am not a die hard fan of the sport, I usually cheer for whichever LA/southern California team is playing on TV. When the opportunity came up to go to a Dodgers home game, I was very open minded since I enjoy most sports live. Snacks and booze, what could go wrong? I was pretty excited for my first baseball game!! I even made an effort to wear blue that day!! Well apparently going with a season ticket holder can really ruin a first timer's excitement. With 81 home games, a season ticket holder becomes numb to the dodger dog, peanuts and the merchandise store ... He told me we can go eat after and that the merchanise is too overpriced... Well dude, that's where all the hype is at!! :P Anyways my favorite part of the game is probably the legendary 7th inning stretch where we all get up from our seats and sing and sway to "Take me out to the ballgame..." And also all of the games that was on the screens for Dodger fans to win prizes. I'm pretty sure baseball games have the potential to be fun with good company, but it wouldn't be the game itself that makes me come back. Nevertheless I still need some comeback to try the infamous dodger dog and get myself some Dodger gear to support the LA team. I believe their revenue stimulates our economy, so it is in our best interest that they win and move on to playoffs :) read more

Dodger stadium without McCourt! That alone is a great reason to come here. So I came not so much for the baseball, but to see the atmosphere, security, food, and entertainment value from the perspective of a non-Dodger lover. As a disclaimer, I hate NL baseball; watching a Pitcher batting is a pathetic abomination of humanity let alone sport. The entire stadium is clean! Our seats were in the loge level, and we entered the stadium from the right field upper section. Rather than take an elevator, we walked down a sort of dark stairway. It didn't smell, and the walls and steps were spotless. Likewise spotless was the entire polished concrete area of the loge level I saw no trash or stains (outside of the seating area), and even the bathrooms were reasonably clean and looked good, given their advanced age. Impressive. Security is everywhere. They seem professional, nice uniforms. A line officer politely answered many of my prying questions. He was not a warm body just putting on a show for the appearance of security. But the food is as embarrassing as the NL pitchers trying to bat. Your Dodger ("DOH-yer") dogs are barely ordinary, and at $5 ($6 for "all beef") are just not worth it unless you are a local and it's a tradition. Did not venture into the right field pavilion where the infamous AYCE is offered. If there was a modicum of decent food there, I might be interested. I have been to 12 MLB stadiums: old and new in Cincinnati and Cleveland, old and new Pirates, old Yankee, new Baltimore, Denver, Phoenix, new Houston, and Seattle. The food at Dodger Stadium is dead last by a mile. Not even close. No imagination or even an attempt to be interesting or impart a local flavor. LA is not bland. Fortunately, Dodger Stadium is adjacent to Chinatown and downtown LA. Go deeper into downtown LA, Little Tokyo, or near Olvera Street and plenty of options present themselves. My advice is do NOT come here hungry. Eat at Subway, if you must, before coming here. read more

Once known as Chavez Ravine. Dodgers Stadium is one of the gems of Los Angeles nestled in the downtown area in the Elysian Park neighbourhood. It's the third oldest stadium in the MLB (built in 1962), behind Boston's Fenway Park (1912) and Chicago's Wrigley (1914). This ballpark is well-manicured especially during baseball season. Easy in and out parking and plenty of good food to choose from. Dodgers have called it home for over 50 years... remains a time capsule, old but modern with beautiful site and view of downtown LA. Wether you're a fan or not get a cheap seat and pay this famous stadium a visit, it's an experience nonetheless! "The roar of the crowd has always been the sweetest music. It's intoxicating." - Vin Scully read more

They keep disappointing me in post-season. How about instead of treating the players like corporate CEO's who earn 25 million whether the company makes a profit or not, why not just pay each one 1M a year and if they win the World Series everyone gets 25M. Now that would be the incentive that would break up the post-season losing streak. How motivated to sell would you be if the boss gave you a full year of maximum top selling commissions before you even make one call. "David, we are glad that you joined our company, and we anticipate that you will be our top salesperson, so here is a check for "5 Million Dollars," the most you can earn if you hit every single sale this year. And if you don't, keep it anyway. It's just money, and we will consider giving you 10 Million next year." read more

I grew up going to Cubs & White Sox games, so I DO have some bias. Heh heh, BUT Its easy to get seduced into enjoying the Dodgers. First, with all baseball games, its so much fun to sit a few rows back from the field. You are right there in the action. Don't get me wrong, I've sat high up (a bit dizzying) & in box seats, but my favorite seat is field level. Second, food. The Dodger dog does its best to compete with Chicago dogs, BUT I discovered here the GARLIC FRIES. Yes, I could easily take out a coven of vampires with my breath, but these are Awesome. Plus, NO ONE does Asada or Nachos like LA. Third, Drinks. Quite a selection. I start the game with a big old beer. But, I'm not stuck drinking Bud Light, I can enjoy a Shock Top. But they also have a cocktail line. Beer is too filling (I need room for all the food), so happy to switch to Ketel One & Lemonade or Grapefruit, etc. Fourth, they do a great job keeping the fans distracted while teams are switching sides. Fifth, Incredible view; who doesn't love to be surrounded by the mountains. Sixth, after that awful incident in 2011, security is beefed up and its feels much safer. Any cons? Parking. Its pricey & getting to a game in rush hour is a pain. Prices. Expect to spend on the food & drinks. read more
