Lot 12 is the published oversized-vehicle lot
The Dodgers' current A-to-Z guide sends every vehicle that does not fit one standard stall to Lot 12 and recommends Sunset Gate A. Prepaid parking remains the cleanest arrival plan.
A hilltop ballpark trip where the assigned gate and postgame regroup matter
Dodger Stadium charter buses for games and events
For 2026 Dodgers games, buses, limousines, RVs, and other oversized vehicles park in Lot 12; the Dodgers recommend entering through Sunset Gate A on Vin Scully Avenue. The published 2026 oversized-vehicle rate is $65 in advance or $70 at the gate, with prices subject to change and special-event rates set separately. Buy the correct pass before travel, then give dispatch the event, first-pitch time, rider count, accessibility needs, and final return sequence.
The event-day timeline
The outbound movement ends when passengers are safely delivered to the correct approach. The harder part is often finding the full group and releasing the coach after a crowded event.
- 01
Attach the current event information
Include opponent or event name, date, first pitch, desired arrival, ticket count, and the current parking or transportation notice. Instructions can differ for baseball, concerts, and special events.
- 02
Match the coach to an assigned entrance
For a 2026 Dodgers game, put Lot 12 and Sunset Gate A on the dispatch sheet and attach the oversized-vehicle pass. Parking staff can redirect traffic, and concert or special-event instructions may differ.
- 03
Choose a precise regroup point
Before passengers enter, share the provider-approved pickup position, a map pin, the lead’s phone number, and the cutoff for missing riders. “Meet by the bus” is not enough in a multi-lot complex.
- 04
Put return stops in final order
Hotels, campuses, restaurants, and park-and-ride origins should appear in the sequence the coach will serve them. Include postgame congestion in the requested service window.
Access, staging, and the pickup after
Traffic officers, electronic signs, parking staff, and the event’s current credential control the final approach. Published passenger-car directions are not a substitute for a coach plan.
The property is not a curbside downtown venue
The stadium sits within a large, controlled parking complex. Build time for gate processing, directed circulation, unloading, and the walk from the assigned location.
Postgame traffic is not a fixed-duration transfer
Do not promise an exact hotel arrival immediately after the final out. Crowd release and traffic control determine when the coach can leave its position.
Accessibility starts before booking
Tell both the ticketing contact and carrier about wheelchairs, walkers, service animals, or limited walking tolerance so seating, parking, and vehicle equipment can be coordinated.
Build for attendance and equipment
Count confirmed riders and all mobility or tailgate equipment. The carrier then confirms the assigned vehicle and event access.

Common questions
These source-linked notes are for planning. On the travel date, follow current agency, airport, property, venue, and American Charterlines instructions.
Can a charter bus park at Dodger Stadium?
Yes for 2026 Dodgers games: oversized vehicles are directed to Lot 12, with Sunset Gate A recommended. The published rate is $65 in advance or $70 at the gate. Prices may change, and concerts or other special events may use different rates or instructions.
Where should the group meet after a Dodgers game?
Use the exact pickup or parking location approved for the coach, then distribute a map pin and group-lead number before entering. Follow any revised instructions from stadium staff after the game.
How early should a group arrive?
Work backward from the current gate time and allow for Los Angeles traffic, parking entry, unloading, security, and walking. The carrier should review the final schedule; no fixed lead time works for every event.
Does the bus stay during the game?
That depends on the parking credential and the booked service. The coach may park onsite, stage elsewhere, or leave and return. Put the intended arrangement in the quote rather than assuming the drop-off curb is also a waiting area.
