Food, fans and furious traffic are expected Friday night at Dodger Stadium. Adrian Arambulo reports for the NBC4 News at Noon on Friday Oct. 9, 2015.
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.
