Getting to/from dodger stadium is awful. There’s only 1 small motel nearby. It’s an uphill walk. The traffic is a mess. There’s no near train stop.
What this place needs is obviously more car lanes.
What a gigantic waste of space. Never knew how large this stadium is.
Why dod they not build a 3-4 story parking garage around the stadium? The area of the parking loy ia greater than the stadium itself.
Parking garages are expensive. You can spend $30,000 to build a space… At $50 a game you’d pay it off in 7.5 seasons, not controlling for maintenance and operating costs.
Now the trend is to build entertainment districts around venues… Which creates more revenue per square foot, so you’ll start to see more garages going up.
All so massively unhealthy sedentary blobs can go hoot and holler at drug-enhanced millionaires playing a poor child’s pastime while enriching the billionaire owners by buying 25$ hot dogs made of factory farmed animals huddled ten to the square foot.
For the emperor! /s
Uhhhh, why haven’t they done underground parking?
That might make line go up more slowly.
Meanwhile BART is being sued by a stadium for trying to extend service to the stadium

What a shithole…
Gotta get to the stadium early to avoid needing to park in the next state.
It’s like when Homer parked at work but the parking spot was right next to his back yard
Wow. US are truly fucked
So turns out public transport is great. As long as it’s to and from parking lots.
Something very yonic and sapphic about this picture… I see why lesbians love softball
At some point put in a multistory. Or forget the car park and just run a train or bus service to the stadium.
They gave up on the gondola?
I think the Gondola is still on the table. Honestly it’s a great idea, Union station is very close as the crow flies, just walking from it right now is a nightmare because of the freeway in the way.
Eh, I agree with nandert that an underground light metro would be more useful, in part because you can use it to extend transit north of Dodgers Stadium to create a better used system overall.
That may be, I’m just unsure on the cost differential. Feels like an underground line would be more expensive, but IDK.
An extention of some light or heavy rail line would be good
This image makes the stadium look like its ontop of a giant dome lol.
Anyways, for people asking about car parks and such, LA is notorious even by american standards for being an absolutely unfathomably large sprawling paved area. Just think of the biggest suburban sprawl possible and thats LA.
Actually they’ll be planning to have an entire exit path to all major interior and exterior highway arteries 🔨 🛣️
Uh-oh. Now I am starting to understand just how massively things are fucked there
