Codger Stadium,LA. How to get there please? And other questions!

Can you tell me if the best way to the Dodger Stadium (coming from west Hollywood) is by train? It stops at Union Station but how far is that from the stadium? Is it walkable?
Approx how long does a game last? Wondering what time I would be back at hotel afterwards.
Thanks in advance for any replies!

Union Station is maybe a mile from Dodger Stadium. But from West Hollywood, there are buses whose last stop (Sunset & Innes) is basically right at Dodger Stadium. Better choice.

Besides, the train doesn't go to West Hollywood.

Find out the nearest major cross streets to wherever you will be in WeHo and then put them into the Trip Planner at the LA MTA's website (with Dodger Stadium as the end point):

As a Padres fan, I think you were right the first time. "Codger" is just fine! LOL!

<<Approx how long does a game last?>>

A really, really long time since the old codgers take forever to circle the bases! Just tying their shoes holds up the game for hours!

(Couldn't resist - this post will have to go down as the funniest title I've ever seen!)

"Approx how long does a game last?"

Dodger fans are notorious for showing up in the third inning and leaving after the seventh inning stretch. Apparently the games usually last longer than the fans can tolerate.

As we go for our 16th win out of the last 17 games...let them have their laughs! This is the most fun we have had since 1988.

Dodger Blue in Pinnacle.

cmcfong - OMG you play for the Dodgers? What position? Just kidding. Just a little friendly jab at those who say "we" when referring to the team!

So is it worth going to Dodger Stadium via the bus or should I cough up the parking fee? Is driving worth the $15?

Wow this is a 2006 thread. I was wondering if the OP was attending the Old Timers Game.

2 years old and still funny.
