Expect about $175 to $260 per hour for a 56 passenger coach and $140 to $205 for a minibus, with a five hour minimum.

Dodger Stadium sits in Elysian Park above Downtown Los Angeles and Chinatown. It is the oldest ballpark on the West Coast and one of the largest in the major leagues, and on a sold-out night the hills around it fill with cars long before first pitch.

Bus parking is sold in advance and is assigned by the stadium. Charter buses have entered through Sunset Gate A on Elysian Park Avenue and parked in a dedicated bus lot on the hillside below the seating bowl, with a walk of about ten minutes uphill to the gates. The operator confirms the current gate and lot for your date.

Because the bus lot is inside the stadium grounds, groups can leave bags on the bus and walk back to it after the game. That makes Dodger Stadium one of the easier venues for school groups, youth teams and company outings that want the bus close by.

Getting in and out is the hard part. The 110, the 5 and the 101 all feed the stadium, and the lots empty slowly after the final out. Plan to arrive 90 minutes before first pitch for a big game, and tell the group the bus leaves 20 to 30 minutes after the end so nobody gets left behind.

Pricing is one all-in number with driver, fuel, standard mileage, tolls and the bus parking pass arranged by the operator. Most game days run five to six hours door to door, and playoff dates need earlier booking.
