The Dodgers are leaning into the offseason with a familiar winter tradition, opening Dodger Stadium for a holiday movie night on Saturday, Nov. 28. This year’s feature on the outfield scoreboard will be Home Alone.
The club has made a habit of staging one or two movie nights a year after the season, and this one follows that same playbook. Fans can watch from field-level seats for $35, or head to the outfield grass for $40.
Those on the grass can bring blankets and cushions, though inflatable furniture, bean bags and anything with metal framing is off limits. Children 3 or younger are free if they sit on a parent or guardian’s lap, and parking is included with the ticket.
The ballpark experience starts well before the film. Doors open at 4:00 p.m.
PT, with the movie set to begin at 6:00 p.m. PT.
Before that, fans will have access to photo opportunities, bullpen pitching, a stadium tour and exclusive food items.
Home Alone fits the moment. The Dodgers are rolling out the PG holiday staple as a family-friendly way to kick off the season.
In the team’s own promotion, the movie is described this way: “When 8-year-old Kevin McCallister is accidentally left behind while his family dashes off to Paris, he turns every kid’s dream into reality: unlimited junk food, no bedtime, and complete freedom,” the Dodgers’ promotion reads. “Until, two bumbling burglars target his house, and Kevin is left to defend his family’s home, creating a series of traps so creative, outrageous, and satisfying that they’ll still make you cheer decades later.
“Whether rewatching this holiday favorite or experiencing Kevin McCallister’s unforgettable adventure for the very first time, join us on the field and get ready for a heartwarming, laugh-out-loud reminder of why Home Alone remains a beloved classic. Don’t get left behind this holiday season!”

Dodgers Executive's Next Step Just Took An Unexpected Turn
Rocco Baldellis next move in baseball just got a little less certain. After spending seven seasons managing the Twins and settling into a role as a special assistant in the Dodgers front office, Baldelli had emerged as a notable candidate for the Mariners managerial opening, giving him another chance to jump back into a dugout after this quiet stretch in Los Angeles.
Instead, Seattles search will continue without him after Baldelli withdrew from consideration for family reasons. The Mariners have already spoken with Joe Espada and Jason Kanzler, so the process is still moving, but Baldellis exit removes one of the more experienced names from the board and leaves open the question of what comes next for a Dodgers executive who had briefly surfaced as part of a high-profile opening on the North Side of the Pacific Northwest.

Dodgers See One Big Hurdle In Josue De Paulas Rise
Josue De Paula has become one of the most interesting young names in the Dodgers system, the kind of prospect who fits neatly into the organizations long view and also could matter sooner than later. Brandon Gomes and Andrew Friedman have pointed to his offensive upside and the way he has already made strides defensively, which is part of why there is real belief he can grow into an immediate contributor as the club starts eyeing a youth movement around the 2027 season.
Even with that optimism, the Dodgers are still watching one part of his game closely: his work in the outfield. De Paulas bat draws the attention first, and Juan Soto even singled out his eye at the plate while comparing him to himself, but the next step is making sure the defensive side catches up enough to keep him on the path the team wants. For a player with this much promise, the difference between being intriguing and becoming indispensable may come down to how far that outfield progress goes. [Read more 🡒]
Dodgers Veterans Suddenly Face A Tough Fit In LAs Next Plan
The Dodgers have been aggressive about staying in the championship mix, but the next phase of roster building could force some familiar names into uncomfortable territory. One veteran outfielder was left off the postseason rosters yet still remains under team control, while a left-handed bullpen arm is lining up to be one of the more attractive free agents on the market. Add in a power-hitting outfielder whose defense has become a real question and who is approaching 35, and the picture starts to look less like continuity and more like change.
For a club that consistently looks for ways to get younger around the margins, these are the kinds of players who can be squeezed out even if they still have value. The Dodgers may prefer to reallocate that roster space toward younger, more versatile options, which means the path ahead could include a trade, a departure in free agency, or simply a reduced role if the front office decides the fit is no longer there.
