Parking Lots Guide — Which Lot Is Right For You?
In general at Dodger Stadium, if a lot is known by a letter, it’s a preferred lot, while general parking is in the numbered lots.
Preferred Lots are B, D, F, G, H, J, K, L, M, N and P, while the other letters are often parking lots set aside for special groups like season ticket holders.
As mentioned above, parking in preferred lots must be purchased ahead of time, at least three hours before first pitch. Click here to buy parking.
For most fans buying preferred parking, they’ll likely find themselves in Lots F, H or K.
Lot F is closest to Sunset Gate A and Stadium Way Gate B, also known as Scott Gate B due to nearby Scott Avenue.
Lot F and Lot H share access to Golden State Gate C, while Lot H is closest to Academy Gate D.
Lot H and Lot K share access to Downtown Gate E.

Be sure to buy early, as preferred parking can sell out days before a game, especially if it’s a rivalry series.
From the preferred lots, walking into the stadium is a breeze, though getting your car out after the game can involve a great deal of waiting.
On the flip side, parking in the general lots means a farther walk to the stadium but a quicker vehicle exit afterwards.
You will not get to choose where in general parking you’ll end up, as attendants will direct you, but here are those lots and their closest gates:
| Sunset Gate A | Lots 10, 11 and 12 |
| Scott Gate B | Lots 2 and 3 |
| Golden State Gate C | Lots 3, 4 and 15 |
| Academy Gate D | Lots 4, 5, 6, 7 and 15 |
| Downtown Gate E | Lots 5, 6, 7, 8 and 10 |
General parking is usually directed to the lots closest to your point of entry. If you know the lot you desire to park in — something closer to your section — it is best practice to enter the stadium at the appropriate gate.
Here’s where those gates will take you outside of Dodger Stadium:
| Sunset Gate A | Stadium Way / Vin Scully Avenue |
| Scott Gate B | Stadium Way/ Scott Ave |
| Golden State Gate C | Academy Rd/ Academy Rd |
| Academy Gate D | Academy Rd/ Park St |
| Downtown Gate E | SR110/ Stadium Way |
If those options don’t sound appealing to you, consider parking slightly off-site at Lots 13 and 14 for only $5, though once again, getting there early will be key.
Those lots also offer easy exits for your vehicle, though you will have to walk up and down the hill.
How to Buy a Dodgers Parking Pass
If you’re looking to buy parking for just one game, visit the team’s website. Be aware, though, that parking can sell out, so try to buy at least a week in advance for high-demand games.
- Hit the green “Buy Parking” button.
- Choose which game you’d like to purchase parking for
- On the next screen, hit “Done” at the bottom right, which will take you to the list of parking options available.
- Select general parking, preferred parking or bus/limo parking.
- Input your number of “seats,” which really indicates how many vehicles you’re purchasing parking for.
- Checkout as guest or with your MLB.com account.
- Enter your payment information.
The parking pass will be automatically added to your MLB Ballpark App (iOS and Android) if your account is appropriately linked. Here are FAQs from the MLB Ballpark website.
Parking is also often available on resale sites like SeatGeek or StubHub, but there’s a couple of things to consider when purchasing parking there.
- Prices can fluctuate as the game nears, and you could find yourself paying more or less than you would from the team’s website.
- Those sites also list parking for away games, so looking for an airplane logo or other indication that the parking is for another MLB stadium.
- Be wary of scammers on secondary marketplaces.
For a more permanent solut ion, though, you have the option to reserve a specific spot for all home games, which the team notes will even be “complete with your name on it!”
To purchase, call a Season Ticket Representative at 866-DODGERS or email [email protected].
ADA and Accessible Parking
There are a limited number of accessible parking spaces, all of which are in preferred parking lots B, D, F, G, K, L, N, and P.
Parking cashiers and attendants will direct those with a valid state-issued disabled parking permit and/or license plate to these areas, which are available on a first-come, first-served basis. If those spots fill up, fans are directed to the nearest lot with standard parking spaces still available.
Once you park, contact the Dodgers’ courtesy shuttle via the Dodger Hotline at 323-224-2611 for a ride for up to four guests at a time. It operates from shortly after the gates open to an hour after the game ends.
Off-Site and Cheap Parking Options
Let’s start with what everyone is looking for: the free street parking options just outside of Dodger Stadium. Here are the three streets you need to know:
- Boyleston Avenue
- Lilac Terrace
- Stadium Way (between Boyleston Ave and Vin Scully Ave)
For special events at Dodger Stadium, these streets may be closed. And importantly, they fill up fast, so arrive early.
The Dodgers offer offsite parking in Lots 13 and 14 on Stadium Way. Admission is $5 at the gate. This is just outside the stadium on Stadium Way at the LAFD training area.
It will require a brisk 10- to 15-minute uphill walk up through the Gate A entrance to get to the stadium. On the plus side, though, it’s a downhill walk after the game.
You also can find parking using apps like SpotHero, ParkWhiz, and BestParking, though the price you’ll pay and the proximity to the stadium will vary.
Rideshare — Uber and Lyft Drop-Off
The Dodgers’ official rideshare partner is Uber, and pickup and drop-off happens at Lot 1.
Ubers also enter the stadium through Gate B to avoid Gate A congestion.
“Don’t worry, Lyft is still allowed to pickup and drop off at the ballpark,” details Baseball Bucket List. “In fact, you may be better off calling a Lyft since everyone else will be staring at Uber signage all night.”
Also consider walking down the hill or waiting a bit to call your rideshare, as it will take a while anyway and you could avoid surge pricing by avoiding the bulk of the other fans.
A ride from Dodger Stadium to Hollywood, for instance, is about $35 at midday on a weekday. During a well-attended event like a Dodgers game, those prices can go through the roof.
Public Transit Options
Dodger Stadium is accessible without a car at all via public transit.
The best-known transit option for Dodger Stadium is the Dodger Express, a free service that takes all ticket holders from Union Station in downtown LA to the stadium.
Union Station is accessible via Metro’s A, B and D Lines, formerly known as the blue, red and purple rail lines, as well as by bus.
It costs $1.75 to take Metro bus or rail one-way, so to get to the stadium and back will cost you $3.50.
Public transit can also be used in concert with walking.
There’s a Metro bus stop at the Dodger Stadium entrance for the No. 2 and No. 4 buses, and there’s another stop on Sunset Boulevard about a quarter of a mile from Dodger Stadium’s Gate A.
If you prefer to take rail only, the Chinatown Station on the A Line is about three quarters of a mile from the stadium.
Dodger Stadium also offers bicycle racks at all entrances.
“The Dodgers encourage alternate forms of transportation to and from Dodger games,” the team said on its website. “Bike racks are available at all levels and turnstiles.”
Tips for Beating Traffic
Dodger Stadium is a big place, and as a general rule, the more walking you do, the easier your drive out will be.
So while the Preferred Parking can be great upon arrival, it could cost you a lot of time after the game.
And the numbered lots cost you some extra time walking into Dodger Stadium, but they will likely save you some headaches driving out.
To really minimize your time in traffic, be willing to walk the hill. You’ll be huffing and puffing on the way up, but consider it an investment that pays off as you walk by the gridlocked cars on the way out.
Alternatively, arrive early for the game, as you know Angelenos have a habit of being late, and stick around for 20 or 30 minutes after the last out, allowing much of the traffic to clear out before you exit.
