## Japanese visitor quick answer

2026年5月9日（土）のBraves戦は18:10 PT開始予定で、公式プロモーションにはBlake Snell “Starter Series” Bobbleheadが掲載されています。さらにMLB.comはSnellのドジャースでのシーズン初登板予定がこのボブルヘッドナイトと重なると報じています。配布日＋週末＋夜試合なので、車なら駐車場を事前購入し、駐車場ゲートが開く試合2.5時間前、球場ゲートが開く2時間前を目安に早着するのが安全です。

Downtown LA、Little Tokyo、Koreatown、Hollywood方面に泊まる場合は、Union StationまでMetro/配車で出て無料Dodger Expressを使う選択肢もあります。Dodger ExpressはUnion Stationから試合2.5時間前に運行開始、試合後はfinal out後45分まで戻り便があるため、駐車場が高い・混む・売り切れそうな時の代替になります。ただし帰りの乗継と宿泊地までの終電/配車は当日確認してください。
