2 Epic Stadiums + 1 Arena You'll be Glad You Added to Your List
If you ask me, Dodger Stadium is the best baseball stadium you could ever visit. However, being born and raised in LA, I might be biased.
Here's a little history about Dodger Stadium: it is one of the few stadiums that has maintained its original design since it opened in 1962. While new developments have occurred in the surrounding areas, the stadium itself has retained its original l...
Dodger Stadium is primarily recognized for its sellout crowds and passionate fanbase supporting the Los Angeles Dodgers. Recently, the stadium has also begun hosting some fantastic concerts. If you’re in the area during baseball season, this is one s...

Dodger Stadium
BMO Stadium is home to both LAFC and ACFC. If you know anything about sports, you might be aware that Los Angeles fans are fiercely passionate about their teams, and LAFC and ACFC are no exceptions.
LAFC, or Los Angeles Football Club, was founded in 2014 and has called BMO Stadium home since their inaugural year in 2018 when the club joined Major League Soccer (MLS) as an expansion team. Since then, the men's soccer team has won two Supporters' ...
Their games are filled with high energy and enthusiastic supporters, especially in the Supporters' section, which offers a unique experience. If you enjoy men's soccer and find yourself in town for a game, it's an experience you won't regret!
Now, let's talk ACFC, or Angel City FC. Founded in 2020 by a remarkable group of women, they had their inaugural season in 2022, which I had the pleasure of attending and boy was it worth it. Although the women have yet to win an NWSL Cup, being relatively new to the league, they boast an impressive roster and are a joy to watch.
Their Supporters' section is just as vibrant as the men's and the diversity, love, support, and sense of community you experience while at their games is truly unparalleled. Whether you're a family, a couple, or an individual who loves the game, this...

Crypto.com Arena, which you might remember as Staples Center, is a fantastic place to catch a basketball game!

Located right in the heart of downtown Los Angeles, it's just a stone's throw away from LA Live, a lively area packed with awesome dining and drinking options. My personal recommendation would be to check out the Yardhouse, if you've never been. Whet...

CARSON, CA
A Uniquely Positioned Park
Dignity Health Sports Park, or as some like to call it, StubHub, is a super cool place that stands out from other stadiums and sports arenas.
Since it opened its doors in 2003, this park has become one of four awesome facilities on the campus of California State University, Dominguez Hills. It’s a pretty cool spot!
While the park hosts a variety of sports events, it’s most widely known for being the home of the LA Galaxy, a Major League Soccer (MLS) team. Founded in 1994, the Galaxy kicked off their inaugural season in 1996 and have a pretty impressive track re...
Even though it's been a bit since they've claimed another cup, if you're in town when they’re playing, you definitely want to catch a game against their fierce rivals, Los Angeles Football Club, or better known as LAFC. The excitement during these ma...

ANAHEIM, CA
2 FOR 1 - KINDA!
Anaheim Stadium is home to the Anaheim Angels. Yes, I said it: the Anaheim Angels, NOT the Los Angeles Angels.
Recently, there has been some controversy regarding the team's name change to the Los Angeles Angels, even though both the stadium and the team are located in Orange County. Considering that the only baseball team actually based in LA is the Los Ange...
Despite this, Angel Stadium is the fourth oldest ballpark in the U.S. and has undergone two renovations since it opened 58 years ago. Here are a couple of fun facts about this stadium: it was actually home to the NFL team, the Los Angeles Rams, from ...
If you find yourself in California and looking to explore Orange County, I recommend checking out the stadium for a game or even a concert during your visit.

Angel Stadium
Welcome to the home of the Anaheim Mighty Ducks! 🏒 Quack, quack, quack! Okay, I might be 38, but let’s be real—those movies were pretty iconic, and the team was named after them, so it’s only fitting ((:
This arena is the perfect spot to catch an NHL game. Fun fact: it's where I actually saw my very first pro hockey match—Mighty Ducks vs. Flyers. The energy here was great, and the Ducks’ fans bring the hype haha.
If you’re a hockey lover visiting during the season, don’t miss the chance to experience a game here. Bonus? You’re just 3 minutes from Angel Stadium and only about 10 from Disneyland and California Adventure.

If you’re ever in San Diego, Petco Park is a must-visit destination. Beyond the game, you'll find awesome food, local craft beers, and an ongoing energetic atmosphere. So be sure to pre-game before you head in!
Whether you’re rooting for the Padres or just along for the ride, a day at Petco Park is an experience you don't want to miss.

Petco Park
Torero Stadium is home to the San Diego Toreros, a NCAA D1 college football team.
I had the pleasure of visiting the stadium when my brother played college football and while the stands weren't packed, I'd still recommend it for anyone who enjoys a good college football game.

The Stadium With an O-M-G! View
Oracle Park! My face lights up as I write this because it truly is my absolute second favorite baseball park, even if it is the rival of my home team.

PHOENIX, AZ
Root for the D-backs in a ballpark unlike any other!
Chase Field is definitely one of my favorite stadiums!
If you're a baseball fan, you absolutely need to catch a game at Chase Field, the home of the Arizona Diamondbacks.
One cool thing to know is that this is one of only six stadiums with a retractable roof, which means you can enjoy the game without being too hot in the summer or having to deal with the unpredictable weather.
If you're visiting Phoenix, take a little time to get outside the city and see one of the games here. It's truly one of the best things to do in the area.
