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.
LA is proposing a subway system for Dodger Stadium. This will allow people to commute from the stadium parking area to the stadium

They should have drive in stadiums by now, it’s the obvious thing to do.

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.

The American mind cannot comprehend transportation unless it involves cars somehow

They apparently cannot also comprehend multi storey Carparks.

What a gigantic waste of space. Never knew how large this stadium is.
WolfmanEightySix@piefed.social 2 weeks ago
Even if you were a local you probably wouldn’t appreciate it unless you saw it like this. How much housing/flats could have been created rather than spending at most a few nights a week as a car park?
MadBigote@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
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.
wolfpack86@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
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.

Uhhhh, why haven’t they done underground parking?
Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
That might make line go up more slowly.
RustyShackleford@piefed.social 2 weeks ago
I would wager Earthquakes would be one reason.
bandwidthcrisis@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
LA has plenty of underground parking, including at the children’s hospital, so I don’t think that it’s that.

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.

How about a subway from LA to the stadium?
SkunkWorkz@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Maybe this is step 1 in tricking car brains to support public transport

Subway from stadium parking to the stadium is much cheaper

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.
BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 2 weeks ago
Which was paid for by Disney, not taxpayers.

At some point put in a multistory. Or forget the car park and just run a train or bus service to the stadium.
davetortoise@reddthat.com 2 weeks ago
That is so vile
Zizzy@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 weeks ago
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?
errer@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
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.
fluffykittycat@slrpnk.net 2 weeks ago
An extention of some light or heavy rail line would be good
HobbitFoot@thelemmy.club 2 weeks ago
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.

Lemme guess, Elon is going to dig the holes for it with his Boring Company. He already has a quarter mile Test Tunnel.

LORDSMEGMA@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks ago
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.
