Train to Dodger Stadium - Los Angeles
Experience the thrill of Dodgers baseball without the hassle of traffic. Arrive at the iconic Union Station, where you can board the Dodger Stadium Express — free with your game ticket. Buses board on the west end of Union Station, in front of Fred Harvey, adjacent to Alameda St. and leave every 10 minutes, starting 2.5 hours before game time, with stops behind center field and the top deck.
Return services operate from the same stops 45 minutes after the game and 20 minutes after post-game events, making this the ideal option for your trip to the game. Or if you prefer to stay and enjoy post-game celebrations for longer, stay overnight and take the train back in the morning!
Train to Petco Park - San Diego
Head to Petco Park in downtown San Diego, the southernmost stop on the Pacific Surfliner route. The Santa Fe Depot station offers convenient access to local attractions and transportation. The Padres stadium is just a few trolley stops away or an easy 25-minute walk from the station. There is no easier way to catch the game and enjoy a slice of San Diego than a quick trip on the Pacific Surfliner. Extend your trip and after the game explore downtown before taking the train back the next day!
