| Abstract | Fans usually arrive late and leave early to and from home games at Dodger Stadium in order to avoid the brunt of its notorious gridlock. Since Angelenos are accustomed to the same gridlocked conditions in their daily commutes, they have become resigned to this phenomenon. Prior to the 2007 season, Dodger Stadium management implemented Controlled Zone Parking (CZP), a new on-site traffic operations plan prepared by another traffic engineering firm based in Southern California. Fans are directed to use the same gate for entry and exit. CZP is the major tool for Dodger Stadium management to optimize the arrival, on-site parking, and departure experiences for its customers. Parking “Statistics” The Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) suggests that baseball stadium lots are to be designed with a parking space rate of 15 on-site spaces per 100 seats.1 When this rate is applied, it is concluded that 8,400 spaces are required for Dodger Stadium parking demand. Therefore, the 16,000 parking spaces that surround the 56,000-seat Dodger Stadium are sufficient for the calculated demand, and it can be concluded that parking supply is not a major concern.2 |
