LOS ANGELES — Dodgers fans, it’s that time of year again—Opening Day at Chavez Ravine! With the excitement of the 2025 season underway, the Dodgers have rolled out some incredible new features at Dodger Stadium. From interactive experiences to new eats and exclusive collectibles, here’s what’s waiting for you when you head to the ballpark this season.
New Experiences in Centerfield Plaza
The Centerfield Plaza is becoming even more of a must-visit destination. This year, fans can enjoy:
- Two pitching cages – Available for fans of all ages, free of charge, starting when gates open.
- “In the Dugout” virtual reality booth – Take a free photo with your favorite Dodgers players in an immersive VR experience.
- Massive 2024 World Series Trophy & Ring – A larger-than-life replica of last year’s championship hardware is perfect for photo ops. The trophy is available now, with the World Series ring display debuting on March 29.
- New Hall of Fame and Legends Displays – The Dodgers are adding fresh displays celebrating the team’s all-time greats, including a tribute to the 2024 championship squad.
- The 2024 World Series Pennant – Unveiled on Opening Day, adding another glorious banner to the collection.
Improved Rideshare Experience
Uber, the Dodgers’ official rideshare partner, has moved its pickup and drop-off location from Lot 11 to Lot 1. Fans using Uber or other rideshare services will now enter through Gate B to reduce congestion at Gate A and make arrivals and departures smoother.
Honoring Frontline Heroes
This season, the Dodgers and Fanatics are launching a Frontline Heroes of the Game initiative, with a special focus on the firefighters who battled the recent Los Angeles County wildfires. These heroes will be honored on the field during pregame ceremonies throughout the season.
New Collectibles & Merch
Dodger fans love their gear, and the team stores are stocked with brand-new jerseys, caps, sweatshirts, and T-shirts inspired by the gold-trimmed uniforms the team will wear for the first two games of the season.
Plus, the Los Angeles Dodgers Foundation (LADF) is offering custom collectible Dodgers baseball trading cards—available exclusively at Dodger Stadium in Centerfield Plaza. Fans can create and purchase their own unique card up until the seventh inning of every home game.
LADF is also expanding its 50/50 raffle and unveiling new autographed memorabilia and LADF-branded merchandise, with proceeds supporting education, health care, homelessness relief, social justice initiatives, and wildfire recovery efforts.
Exclusive Deals for Mastercard Holders
