All so massively unhealthy sedentary blobs can go hoot and holler at drug-enhanced millionaires playing a poor child’s pastime while enriching the billionaire owners by buying 25$ hot dogs made of factory farmed animals huddled ten to the square foot.
For the emperor! /s
How about a subway from LA to the stadium?
Maybe this is step 1 in tricking car brains to support public transport
Subway from stadium parking to the stadium is much cheaper
Wow. US are truly fucked
What in the concrete hellscape is this?
Even better, its on top of a hill with only a couple roads access. Needless to say, traffic is a fucking nightmare. Put a subway in from literally anywhere else to the stadium would be a better option.
Also, it comes with the story of Chavez Ravine which was forcefully evicted to make way for the stadium.
Now, let me guess what kind of people lived there…
Oh, it’s even better than just evicting mexicans. They did so under the pretence of building public housing. After the evictions they dropped the plan and built a privately owned stadium instead.
What a complete and utter surprise.
LA and bulldozing neighborhoods is sadly a tale as old as time
LA is thinking of doing a gondola
Gotta get to the stadium early to avoid needing to park in the next state.
It’s like when Homer parked at work but the parking spot was right next to his back yard
So turns out public transport is great. As long as it’s to and from parking lots.
Also, c/fuckcars
Why not just drive from parking to the stadium? No need to build an expensive subway, just a small 8 lane road from the parking to the stadium will be enough.
They should have drive in stadiums by now, it’s the obvious thing to do.
70mph limit
The American mind cannot comprehend transportation unless it involves cars somehow
They apparently cannot also comprehend multi storey Carparks.
Getting to/from dodger stadium is awful. There’s only 1 small motel nearby. It’s an uphill walk. The traffic is a mess. There’s no near train stop.
What this place needs is obviously more car lanes.
That is so vile
This image makes the stadium look like its ontop of a giant dome lol.
Anyways, for people asking about car parks and such, LA is notorious even by american standards for being an absolutely unfathomably large sprawling paved area. Just think of the biggest suburban sprawl possible and thats LA.
What a gigantic waste of space. Never knew how large this stadium is.
Even if you were a local you probably wouldn’t appreciate it unless you saw it like this. How much housing/flats could have been created rather than spending at most a few nights a week as a car park?
Why dod they not build a 3-4 story parking garage around the stadium? The area of the parking loy ia greater than the stadium itself.
Parking garages are expensive. You can spend $30,000 to build a space… At $50 a game you’d pay it off in 7.5 seasons, not controlling for maintenance and operating costs.
Now the trend is to build entertainment districts around venues… Which creates more revenue per square foot, so you’ll start to see more garages going up.
A parking garage couldn’t possibly cost more than a subway system, especially when you factor in the ongoing costs of operations, security, maintenance, etc. A parking garage is a big static building, a subway is an entire SYSTEM of many moving parts.
