Dodgers vs. Giants: A Fan's Travel Guide

The Dodgers–Giants rivalry travel guide — one of baseball's oldest rivalries. How to see a game at both Dodger Stadium and Oracle Park, and plan the California trip between Los Angeles and San Francisco.

See the rivalry

The Dodgers and Giants have faced off since the 19th century, and the rivalry moved west when both teams left New York in 1958. A series between them at either park is one of the most charged atmospheres in the sport.

Seeing both ballparks

Dodger Stadium (1962) sits above downtown Los Angeles, while Oracle Park (2000) frames San Francisco Bay with McCovey Cove beyond right field. The two are about 380 miles apart, roughly a six-hour drive up I-5 or a short flight.

Making it a trip

Pair both parks into a California road trip — you can add San Diego's Petco Park to the south — and track your visits with Chasing Stadiums. Check both teams' schedules for home dates before booking.
