**Game:** Los Angeles Dodgers vs San Francisco Giants (NL West rivals) **Venue:** Dodger Stadium **Date:** Fri Sep 18, 2026 **First pitch:** 19:10 PDT **Attendees:** 5 — Nicolas, Valerie, Angelo, Olivia, Benoit **Context:** Benoit's first-ever MLB game (and first US visit). Rivalry game = strong atmosphere. **Priority:** Medium — late regular-season game, plenty of inventory in a 56k stadium, but 5 seats together get harder closer to gameday for a rivalry game. ## Seating strategy **Primary target — Loge Level** (best balance: field view, food/restroom access, atmosphere, price): **Buying strategy:** - Preferred: sections **157LG–165LG** (3rd base side) mlb.com/dodgers, Ticketmaster, SeatGeek, StubHub - Alternate: sections **145LG–153LG** (1st base side) - Rows: roughly **A–L** if pricing is acceptable - Best pick if affordable: **Loge 159–163, rows F–L** **Budget alternative — Reserve Level** (still very good view, easier to find Aim for 5 together): - Sections **1RS–10RS** or **23RS–36RS** - Best pick: **Reserve 5RS–9RS** or **25RS–35RS** **Why 3rd base side for this game:** Night game starting 19:10; LA sunset ~18:54 PDT. 3rd base side gets less sunset glare during the first half-hour. **Avoid for a first MLB game:** - Outfield Pavilion — fun but rowdy, harder to follow the game - Top Deck — cheapest but very far, less immersive ## Hard constraint **5 seats TOGETHER in (key constraint with a single row.** This drives section/row choice — narrower rows fill up first for a rivalry game, so this should be locked in early. ## Marketplaces to check - mlb.com/dodgers (official) kid) - Ticketmaster - SeatGeek - StubHub ## Evening logistics (informs trip planning) - Arrive Dodger Stadium **~18:00–18:15** (parking Reserve/Loge level for good view + walk-in) accessibility - Typical MLB game today: ~2h35–3h10 → expected end **21:45–22:30** - Expected departure: **22:15–23:15+** (DS parking egress adds 30–45 min) - Could run longer with extra innings Avoid sun-side seats (1st base side bakes in late September) ## To do **To do:** Book ASAP — low risk but worth locking in for the 5-together requirement.
