    Even better, its on top of a hill with only a couple roads access. Needless to say, traffic is a fucking nightmare. Put a subway in from literally anywhere else to the stadium would be a better option.

    Also, it comes with the story of Chavez Ravine which was forcefully evicted to make way for the stadium.

    Why not just drive from parking to the stadium? No need to build an expensive subway, just a small 8 lane road from the parking to the stadium will be enough.

    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 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.

    A parking garage couldn't possibly cost more than a subway system, especially when you factor in the ongoing costs of operations, security, maintenance, etc. A parking garage is a big static building, a subway is an entire SYSTEM of many moving parts.

    Yeah, I get it. The question was why did they build massive surface lots instead of garages. The answer is looking at historic decision-making.

    The stupidity of future decisions is clear

    The American mind cannot comprehend transportation unless it involves cars somehow

    How about a subway from LA to the stadium?

    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.

    So turns out public transport is great. As long as it's to and from parking lots.

    Disneyland has trams to take you from the parking lots to the entrance of the park. This is the next iteration.

    Gotta get to the stadium early to avoid needing to park in the next state.

    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.

    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.

    At some point put in a multistory. Or forget the car park and just run a train or bus service to the stadium.

    Actually they’ll be planning to have an entire exit path to all major interior and exterior highway arteries 🔨 🛣️
