Free Dodgers Parking Vs. Public Transit to Dodger Stadium

Dodger Trolley Cartoon.JPG Streetsblogger Damien Newton is not happy with the most recent Dodgers free parking promotion, which will run during the series against the Oakland A's June 16-18, saving you $15. Newton's problem is that the Dodgers earlier this year refused to fund the public transportation shuttle between the stadium and Union Station, a program that began just last year. Here are his thoughts plus math: "Well, now it's official. The Dodgers don't consider people that don't own cars part of their fan base. For the record, the Dodgers parking lot fits 16,000 cars. At $15 a pop, they are losing more revenue with this three day promotion to 'all their fans' then they would have spent funding the bus service from Union Station to Dodger Stadium for the entire season." But will the A's games fill up the parking lot?

Thats the whole point. The A's will NOT be packin them in. So in order to get butts in the seats they will "give away" parking for those three days. But I do see the reasoning. Why do all that and NOT keep the Trolley going? Just stupid... Thanks McCourt you ass.

I got a year long free parking for Dodger Stadium trick. Park on Academy Rd. a couple hours before the game. Not only will you save $15 on parking, which only two years ago was $5 cheaper, but you'll also get out a lot quicker after the game.

Also gives you the ability to chill at the park before going into the stadium. $15 could buy almost three dodger dogs

This is a great idea if you get out of work at 2pm. *eyeroll*
