West Coast Baseball Road Trip: A Home Run Itinerary
I’m standing in the parking lot of the Oakland Coliseum, holding a commemorative “Final Season” pennant I just bought for $12. It’s May 2024, and I’m here because I wanted to see the place before it was gone, when a guy in a faded Rickey Henderson jersey walks up.
“You here for the history or the hot dogs?” he asks.
“Both,” I say. “But mostly to see this place before it’s gone.”
He nods. “Smart. This is baseball, man. It doesn’t wait for you.”
That conversation changed how I think about West Coast baseball trips. These stadiums (T-Mobile Park in Seattle, Oracle Park in San Francisco, Dodger Stadium in LA, Petco Park in San Diego) aren’t just places to watch games. They’re living museums. And the A’s have already left Oakland.
I’ve done this trip three times. I’ve slept in budget motels off Highway 5, overpaid for parking at Dodger Stadium, eaten the best garlic fries of my life in San Francisco, and learned which ticket apps actually save you money (and which ones are a scam).
This guide is everything I wish I’d known before my first trip.

Quick Answer
Fly into Seattle for the Mariners, then fly to San Francisco for the Giants. Driving Seattle to SF alone takes 12 to 14 hours. From there, drive south to Los Angeles, then take the Pacific Surfliner to San Diego. Plan around the MLB schedule, aim for September, and treat Sacramento as optional.
The 7-Day Itinerary (The One the Title Promises)
| Day | City | Logistics | Game | Filmmaker Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Seattle | Fly in, check in to Silver Cloud Hotel | Mariners 7:10 PM | Shoot the downtown skyline from the concourse at dusk |
| 2 | Seattle | Pike Place morning, stadium tour | Mariners 1:10 PM (day game) | Get the clam chowder shot. The steam reads well in natural light |
| 3 | Fly to SF | Alaska/Southwest, ~2 hours | None | Shoot the arrival at Oracle Park at golden hour |
| 4 | San Francisco | Muni to Oracle Park | Giants 6:45 PM | Bleachers. Bring a jacket. If the fog rolls in, shoot it |
| 5 | Drive to LA | I-5, 6-8 hours with traffic | None | Optional detour: A's game in West Sacramento. Otherwise, drive straight |
| 6 | Los Angeles | Dodger Stadium Express from Union Station | Dodgers 7:10 PM | Arrive early. Shoot the sunset over Chavez Ravine |
| 7 | San Diego | Amtrak Pacific Surfliner from LA | Padres 6:40 PM | Walk from Gaslamp. Shoot the downtown skyline from the outfield |
Step 1: Build Your Itinerary Around the MLB Schedule (Not Your Vacation Days)
You cannot plan this trip around your time off. You have to plan your time off around the baseball schedule.
Here’s how:
Go to MLB.com and check the schedule for all West Coast teams: Mariners, Giants, A’s (West Sacramento), Angels, Dodgers, Padres
Look for a 7-10 day window where at least 5 teams have overlapping homestands
Try the Baseball Road Trip Scheduler (baseballroadtrip.com) to generate route options
What is the best month for a West Coast baseball road trip?
Late August through September is ideal. You get:
Pennant race energy (games actually matter)
Better odds of clear, warm evenings in San Francisco than in mid-summer (September and early October are the best window)
Cheaper hotels in tourist-heavy cities as summer crowds thin out
More day games, which makes driving between cities easier
Avoid June and July unless you enjoy fog in SF and $500 hotel rooms in LA.
Common Tourist Mistake: Booking flights before checking the MLB schedule. You’ll end up in Seattle on an off-day, driving to SF for a game that doesn’t exist, and eating a hot dog alone in an empty stadium.
Step 2: Pick Your Route (Speed vs. Scenery)
You have three options: fly the Seattle-to-SF leg, drive I-5, or take the coast.
Option 1: Fly Seattle to SF (The Honest Recommendation)
Time: ~2 hours in the air vs. 12-14 hours driving
Cost: $80-$150 one-way (book 3-4 weeks out)
Best for: Anyone with less than 10 days
Upside: You save a full day for actual baseball
Option 2: Drive I-5 (The Budget Option)
Time: 12-14 hours Seattle to SF, then 6-8 hours SF to LA
Best for: People with 10+ days who want the full road trip experience
Scenery: Farmland, rest stops, nothing special
Upside: You save on flights and have a car for the whole trip. Sacramento is on the way, so an A’s game is an easy add
Option 3: Highway 101 (The Scenic Route)
Time: 18-20 hours Seattle to SF, versus 12-14 on I-5
Best for: People with 12+ days who want the Oregon coast and the redwoods
Upside: The footage is incredible. The car sickness is not
My recommendation: Fly Seattle to SF. Drive SF to LA. Take the train LA to San Diego. That’s the logistics that actually work.
Parking Reality: If you drive the whole thing, you’re paying $30-$60 per stadium for parking, plus hotel parking in SF and LA ($40-$70/night). My own parking total for the trip was around $200, receipts added up. Budget that if you’re driving all legs. The train and Muni combo saves you real money.
Step 3: How to Get the Best Value MLB Tickets in 2027
Ticket prices fluctuate daily, and parking is cashless and dynamic. Figures below are from my own receipts in 2026 — check the platforms and apps before you go.
Can you do a West Coast baseball trip using public transport?
Mostly. Here's the breakdown:
- Seattle (T-Mobile Park): Link Light Rail from downtown (about $3)
- San Francisco (Oracle Park): Muni gets you closest. From the Ferry Building, plan on a 15-20 minute scenic walk along the Embarcadero — 20 if you're taking it slow
- Sacramento (Sutter Health Park): SacRT Light Rail to 7th & Capitol or 8th & Capitol, then Yolobus Route 42A across the Tower Bridge. Fare is about $2.50 per trip with the Transit Connect app. Check current fares before you go. Coming from the Bay Area without a car, the Capitol Corridor train runs to Sacramento, but the rail line ends at Emeryville with a bus into San Francisco, so add time
- Los Angeles (Dodger Stadium): Dodger Stadium Express from Union Station (free with a game ticket)
- Anaheim (Angel Stadium): Amtrak Pacific Surfliner or Metrolink to the Anaheim station (ARTIC), then about a 15-minute walk
- San Diego (Petco Park): Walkable from Gaslamp Quarter
You can do most of this trip without a car. The two legs that need a flight or a car are Seattle to SF and SF to LA.
The Ticket Platforms (Ranked by Actual Value):
SeatGeek - Best for visualization. You can see exactly where foul poles block your view.
Keep it Real: Their "Deal Score" is sometimes bullshit. A "great deal" at Dodger Stadium is still $75.
StubHub - Best for last-minute deals. Sellers panic and drop prices 2-3 hours before first pitch.
Keep it Real: Service fees are brutal (20%+). Factor that in.
Ticketmaster - Only use this for face-value tickets directly from the team.
Keep it Real: Their "dynamic pricing" means a Tuesday game might cost more than Saturday if they think they can get away with it.
Pro Tip: Buy tickets for weekday day games. They're cheaper than weekend night games, and the stadiums are less crowded.
| Ballpark | Signature Food | Parking | Public Transit | Best Seat Value |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| T-Mobile Park | Ivar's Clam Chowder | $30-$50 | Link Light Rail (~$3) | Sec 140-146 |
| Oracle Park | Crazy Crab Sandwich | $40-$60 | Muni | Bleachers |
| Sutter Health Park | Local Food Trucks | $20-$30 | SacRT + Yolobus (~$2.50/trip) | Anywhere |
| Dodger Stadium | Dodger Dog | $30-$50 | Express Bus (Free) | Loge 101-167 |
| Angel Stadium | Helmet Nachos | $20-$30 | Amtrak/Metrolink to ARTIC, 15-min walk | Terrace 401-430 |
| Petco Park | Hodad's Burger | $35-$50 | Walk from Gaslamp | Park at the Park |
Step 4: Budget and Hotel Strategy
Prices below are what I paid or saw in 2026. Check current rates before booking.
You can do this trip in 7 days if you skip Sacramento and Anaheim and fly Seattle to SF. Budget $1,200-$1,800 per person for tickets, hotels, and local transit, not including flights or food.
Here’s the 10-day version:
Day 1-2: Seattle (1-2 games at T-Mobile Park)
Day 3: Fly to San Francisco (~2 hours)
Day 4-5: SF (1-2 games at Oracle Park)
Day 6: Drive to LA (6-8 hours), or detour to West Sacramento for an A’s game
Day 7-8: LA (Dodgers, plus an Angels game by train to Anaheim)
Day 9: Amtrak Pacific Surfliner to San Diego (about 2h 45m, roughly $35-$60)
Day 10: San Diego (Petco Park)
The Hotel Strategy:
I use Hotwire for 60% of my bookings. Here’s why: they show you the star rating and neighborhood, but not the hotel name until after you book. It’s a gamble, but I’ve scored 4-star Sheratons for $125/night doing this.
Keep it Real: Sometimes you get a Marriott. Sometimes you get a “4-star” hotel that was last renovated in 2003. Read the fine print about cancellation policies.
The Hotel That Almost Ruined the Trip
On my second trip, I used Hotwire for a “4-star hotel near Dodger Stadium.” $175/night. The reviews mentioned “convenient location.” What they didn’t mention: the front desk had bulletproof glass, the parking lot had a security guard who told me not to leave after dark, and the “complimentary breakfast” was a granola bar and instant coffee.
I still use Hotwire. It’s saved me hundreds. But now I check the neighborhood on Google Maps before booking. If the street view shows a liquor store and a pawn shop, I pass.
The lesson: The Hotwire gamble works when you know the city. In LA, it’s a risk. In Seattle, it’s almost always a win.
For non-gamblers, here are my tested picks (prices are rates I paid or saw, dated 2026):
Seattle:
Silver Cloud Hotel – Stadium (Shuttle to T-Mobile Park, $140-180/night)
Hampton Inn Downtown (Walking distance, free breakfast, $160-200/night)
San Francisco:
Hotel Zetta (I walked to Oracle Park in about 20 minutes, $180-250/night)
The Orchard Hotel (Budget option, BART accessible, $120-160/night)
Sacramento (for A’s games at Sutter Health Park):
Citizen Hotel (Downtown, I took a rideshare to the park, $130-180/night)
Hyatt Centric Downtown (Modern, near restaurants, $150-200/night)
Los Angeles:
Best Western Plus Sunset Plaza (Hollywood Hills, away from chaos, $110-150/night)
Hotel Figueroa (Downtown, I took the Metro to Union Station then the Dodger Express, $140-190/night)
Anaheim:
Staybridge Suites (Near Angel Stadium, kitchenette, $100-140/night)
Courtyard Anaheim Theme Park (Clean, reliable, $120-170/night)
San Diego:
Courtyard San Diego Downtown (I walked to Petco in about 10 minutes, $150-200/night)
The Westin San Diego (Luxury option, $200-280/night)
Pacific Surfliner vs. Driving: The Best Way to Travel LA to San Diego
The Pacific Surfliner is the better choice if you’re only doing one game in San Diego. If you’re doing multiple stops, keep the car.
Amtrak Pacific Surfliner:
Cost: roughly $35-$60 one-way, depending on time of day (check Amtrak for current fares)
Duration: about 2 hours 45 minutes (vs. 2 hours driving without traffic)
Scenery: Hugs the coastline from San Juan Capistrano to Oceanside, and it’s legitimately beautiful
Bonus: It stops in Anaheim, a short walk from Angel Stadium, so you can add an Angels game without a car
Upside: No parking fees, you can drink beer, work on your laptop, or just stare at the ocean
Downside: Limited schedule, and you’re stuck without a car in SD
Driving (I-5 or PCH):
Cost: ~$15 in gas + $35-50 parking at Petco Park
Duration: 2 hours (I-5) or 3.5 hours (Pacific Coast Highway)
Upside: Total flexibility, you can stop in Carlsbad or Encinitas
Downside: LA traffic is a nightmare, and San Diego parking is expensive
Common Tourist Mistake: Thinking you can drive LA to San Diego in 2 hours on a Friday afternoon. You can’t. Budget 3-4 hours if you’re leaving between 2 PM and 7 PM.
Step 5: Stadium-by-Stadium Breakdown (What Actually Matters)
T-Mobile Park (Seattle Mariners)
Quick Stats
Capacity: 47,929
Vibe: 8/10 (Family-friendly, great for first-timers)
Wallet Hit: Moderate ($$$)
Average Ticket Price: $45-$85 (weekday games)
Parking: $30-$50 (or take Light Rail for about $3)
Best For: Views and comfort
Must-Eat: Ivar’s Clam Chowder
Transit Tip: Link Light Rail from downtown
Ticket Sweet Spot: Sections 140-146
What They Don’t Tell You: The retractable roof arches like an umbrella over the stadium. It’s the only retractable roof in MLB that’s open on the ends, so you’re essentially always outside. I’ve never seen it closed on a warm day, so I can’t tell you what the light does then.
Where to Shoot: The downtown skyline from the concourse at dusk. The roof trusses light up with a giant “W” after Mariners wins, so if you’re there for a victory, stay for that.
Where to Eat Nearby: Pike Place Chowder (get there early, the line is insane by noon)
Oracle Park (San Francisco Giants)
Quick Stats
Capacity: 41,915
Vibe: 9/10 (Best atmosphere on the West Coast)
Wallet Hit: High ($$$$)
Average Ticket Price: $55-$120 (weekend games)
Parking: $40-$60 (or take Muni)
Best For: Atmosphere and beauty
Must-Eat: Crazy Crab Sandwich
Transit Tip: Muni to Oracle Park (from the Ferry Building, plan on a 15-20 minute scenic walk along the Embarcadero)
Ticket Sweet Spot: Bleacher sections 136-145
The Fog Factor:
San Francisco weather is legendarily unpredictable. Fog rolls in off the Pacific, mostly in summer, and can drop temperatures fast. September and early October are your best shot at clear, warm evenings, but pack layers anyway.
What to Bring:
Light jacket (minimum)
Beanie if you’re sitting in the upper deck
Layers you can peel off if the fog lifts
Where to Shoot: The fog is your friend when it shows up. It creates diffusion that flatters everything. The bleachers at sunset gave me the best natural light of the trip.
Sutter Health Park (West Sacramento, Oakland A’s Temporary Home)
Quick Stats
Capacity: 14,014
Vibe: 6/10 (Minor league feel, easy to get into)
Wallet Hit: Low ($$)
Average Ticket Price: $15-$35
Parking: $20-$30
Best For: Seeing the A’s before they move to Vegas (2028)
Must-Eat: Local food trucks outside the stadium
Transit Tip: SacRT Light Rail to 7th & Capitol, then Yolobus across the Tower Bridge
Ticket Sweet Spot: Anywhere
What They Don’t Tell You: I attended a game here in 2026 and tickets were easy to get. The stadium is fine (clean, modern, good sightlines), but it’s not an MLB experience. Think of it as a bonus stop.
The park is in West Sacramento, across the Tower Bridge from downtown Sacramento, not in Sacramento proper. If you’re driving I-5 from Seattle to SF, Sacramento is on the way. On the SF-to-LA leg, it’s a detour.
The A’s are scheduled to move to Las Vegas for the 2028 season. Their Sacramento deal includes an option for a fourth year, so check the schedule before you plan around it.
Transit Reality: SacRT says a transit pass is $2.50 per trip with the Transit Connect app. Yolobus fares may differ, so check current rates before you go.
Is It Worth It?: Worth a stop if you’re already driving through. Skip it if you’re optimizing for “best MLB experience” and prioritize Oracle Park or Petco instead.
Dodger Stadium (Los Angeles Dodgers)
Quick Stats
Capacity: 56,000
Vibe: 10/10 (Iconic, electric atmosphere)
Wallet Hit: Very High ($$$$$)
Average Ticket Price: $70-$150 (weekend games)
Parking: $30-$50 (or take Dodger Stadium Express for free)
Best For: History and vibes
Must-Eat: Dodger Dog
Transit Tip: Dodger Stadium Express bus from Union Station (free with your game ticket)
Ticket Sweet Spot: Loge Level sections 101-167
What They Don’t Tell You: Not all seats are equal. I once paid $90 for “Infield Reserve” and ended up surrounded by drunk guys who spilled beer on me three times. The ushers don’t care.
My advice: Pay the extra $20 for Loge Level. Better crowd, same view.
Where to Shoot: Sunset over Chavez Ravine. Top Deck behind home plate faces west. The palm trees silhouette against the orange sky. This is the postcard shot.
How to Avoid Dodger Stadium Traffic (The Only Strategy That Works)
Dodger Stadium is notorious for parking lot gridlock. Here’s the truth: you cannot avoid traffic entirely. But you can minimize it.
The Best Options (Ranked):
Dodger Stadium Express Bus (Free) – Board at the west end of Union Station, near Alameda Street. Buses run every 10 minutes starting 2.5 hours before game time, and return service runs for 45 minutes after the final out. Downside: Standing room only after 5 PM.
Arrive 90+ Minutes Early – Parking lots open hours before first pitch. If you’re there by 5 PM for a 7 PM game, you’ll get a decent spot.
Street Parking Near Elysian Park – Some fans park on residential streets near Elysian Park and walk up. If you try it, verify posted restrictions that day, expect a 25-minute uphill walk, and don’t leave valuables in the car. I’ve never done it. I took the Dodger Stadium Express instead.
What NOT to Do:
Don’t trust GPS arrival time estimates (they’re always wrong)
Don’t park in the “Preferred” lots unless you’re okay spending $50 to save 10 minutes
Don’t leave when the game ends. Wait 20 minutes, grab another beer, and let the initial wave clear out
Angel Stadium (Los Angeles Angels)
Quick Stats
Capacity: 45,517
Vibe: 7/10 (Classic SoCal ballpark)
Wallet Hit: Moderate ($$$)
Average Ticket Price: $35-$70 (weekday games)
Parking: $20-$30
Best For: Classic SoCal ballpark experience
Must-Eat: Helmet Nachos
Transit Tip: Amtrak Pacific Surfliner or Metrolink to the Anaheim station (ARTIC), then about a 15-minute walk
Ticket Sweet Spot: Terrace Level sections 401-430
What They Don’t Tell You: The area around the stadium is mostly parking lots and chain restaurants. Downtown Disney is about 3 miles away, so don’t plan on strolling over. The upside is the train: you can get here without a car and walk in from the station.
What is the cheapest MLB stadium on the West Coast?
Sutter Health Park has the lowest average ticket price on this trip ($15-$35), with Angel Stadium next. Upper-deck seats at Angel Stadium can run $15-$25 on weekdays.
Petco Park (San Diego Padres)
Quick Stats
Capacity: 40,209
Vibe: 9/10 (Modern, high-energy party atmosphere)
Wallet Hit: High ($$$$)
Average Ticket Price: $50-$110 (weekend games)
Parking: $35-$50 (or walk from Gaslamp Quarter)
Best For: Modern luxury and downtown location
Must-Eat: Hodad’s Burger
Transit Tip: Walk from Gaslamp Quarter (10 minutes)
Ticket Sweet Spot: Park at the Park (grassy berm, bring a blanket)
What They Don’t Tell You: Petco is expensive. A beer costs $16. Parking is $40. But the stadium is gorgeous, and being in the Gaslamp Quarter after the game is unbeatable.
Where to Shoot: The downtown skyline from the outfield. Blue hour is better than golden hour here. The stadium lights against the dark sky, the city glowing behind it.
Pro Tip: Stay in the Gaslamp. You can walk to the stadium, hit bars after, and avoid all parking fees.
What Gear Survives a 1,200-Mile Baseball Trip
I've shot this trip three times. Here's what actually made the bag:
| Gear | Why It Worked | What I'd Skip Next Time |
|---|---|---|
| Sony A7S III + 24-70mm f/2.8 | Handled stadium light and street shooting | The 70-200mm. Too heavy for the walks |
| DJI RS 3 Mini | Stabilized the B-roll | The gimbal for stadium shots. Monopod works fine |
| Rode VideoMicro | On-camera audio for vlogs | The wireless kit. Too much hassle at security |
| Anker 737 power bank | Kept phone and camera alive through 6-hour drives | The second charger. One is enough |
The reality: The best baseball film gear is the gear you'll actually carry. That's usually one body, one zoom, one mic, and a power bank. Everything else is weight you'll regret by Day 3.
What I’d Skip (And What I’d Do Instead)
Skip the Sacramento detour unless you’re an A’s diehard. The stadium is fine. It’s not an MLB experience. I went in 2026 and got in easily, so it’s not a hot ticket.
Skip the Dodger Stadium “Preferred” parking. You’re paying $50 to save 10 minutes. Take the Express bus.
Skip the Gaslamp Quarter hotel if you’re on a budget. Look at East Village, the neighborhood right beside the ballpark.
Skip the June/July trip. Fog in SF, $500 hotels in LA, crowds everywhere. September is the move.
Key Takeaways
Fly Seattle to SF. Driving takes 12-14 hours. You have better things to do.
September is the best month: pennant race energy, better odds of clear evenings in SF, cheaper hotels.
The Dodger Stadium Express is free with your ticket and skips the $30-$50 parking.
You can reach Angel Stadium by train. The Pacific Surfliner stops in Anaheim.
Sutter Health Park is worth a stop if you’re driving through. It’s not worth a detour.
Budget $1,200-$1,800 per person for the 7-day version (not including flights or food).
FAQ
How long does it take to drive from Seattle to San Francisco?
12-14 hours on I-5. It’s roughly 800-850 miles. Most people should fly this leg instead.
What's the best month for a West Coast baseball road trip?
Late August through September. You get pennant race energy, better odds of clear evenings in SF, and cheaper hotels.
Do I need a car for this trip?
Only for two legs: Seattle to SF and SF to LA. You can fly either one. Everything else works with Muni, Light Rail, the Dodger Stadium Express, and the Pacific Surfliner. Sacramento is the one stop that’s awkward without a car.
Can I get to Angel Stadium without a car?
Yes. The Pacific Surfliner and Metrolink both stop at the Anaheim station, and the stadium is about a 15-minute walk from there.
Is Dodger Stadium worth the hype?
Yes, but only if you care about the history and atmosphere. The tickets are expensive, the parking is a nightmare, and the food is fine. Go once. Take the Express bus.
Conclusion
The West Coast baseball road trip is doable in 7 days if you’re honest about logistics. Fly Seattle to San Francisco. Drive SF to LA. Take the train LA to San Diego. Plan around the MLB schedule, not your vacation days.
The reality is that this trip is expensive, exhausting, and occasionally frustrating. Dodger Stadium traffic will make you question your life choices. Fog at Oracle Park can make you wish you’d brought a heavier jacket. Petco Park will charge you $16 for a beer.
But a guy in a faded Rickey Henderson jersey was right in that Coliseum parking lot: baseball doesn’t wait for you. The A’s have left Oakland and are in West Sacramento for now. Oracle Park is still perfect. T-Mobile Park is still beautiful. Petco Park is still overpriced. Do this trip while you can, because in 10 years half of these stadiums will be “historic” and the other half will be replaced by some corporate-sponsored monstrosity with retractable walls and VR batting cages.
Best For: Baseball fans who want to see the West Coast stadiums before they change
Skip If: You hate driving, crowds, or spending money on parking
Next Step: Check the 2027 MLB schedule. Find a 7-10 day window in September. Book the flight to Seattle.

This sounds so fun! I live in India and baseball is not really famous here. Cricket is (which is quite similar). Although I can’t immediately have this experience, it’s nice to read posts like this just to see what’s up in the other part of the world 🙂
This is fantastic information…so much detail!!! I would love to do this sometime, it sounds like it would be a lot of fun!
