Getting to Dodger Stadium for the National League Division Series

Dodger Stadium Express will provide shuttle bus service 2 1/2 hours before first pitch

The Los Angeles Dodgers are urging fans to arrive as early as possible for Games 1 and 2 of their National League Division Series against the New York Mets Friday and Saturday.

Friday's game will begin at 6:45 p.m. and Saturday's at 6:07 p.m. There are a few different ways to get to the game.

Dodger Stadium Express: The Dodger Stadium Express shuttle bus service from Union Station will begin service at 4:15 p.m. Friday and 3:37 p.m. Saturday, 2 1/2 hours before the first pitch. The service is free for everyone with a game ticket.

South Bay Dodger Stadium Express: Service will begin two hours before each game from the Harbor Gateway Transit Center.

Car: Auto gates will open at 3:45 p.m. Friday and 3:07 p.m. Saturday. The left field plaza will be open for fans to enter and watch batting practice from 4:15-4:45 p.m. Friday and 3:30-4 p.m. Saturday. Stadium gates will open at 4:15 p.m. today and 3:30 p.m. Saturday.

Fans going to today's game will have deal with customary rush hour freeway traffic. Freeway congestion Saturday is expected to be heavier than usual because of the U.S.-Mexico CONCACAF Cup soccer game at the Rose Bowl, set to start shortly after 6 p.m., just like the Dodger Game.
