[Dodgers]Parking at Dodger Stadium

Sorry if this is not allowed here.

I am pumped AF because next month I get to go to my first Dodgers game! In the past couple of years I have been trying to hit as many MLB ballparks as I can. Been to Wrigley, Fenway, Petco, T-Mobile, Nationals Stadium, Great American Ballpark (Reds fan), Chase Field, and Citifield.

My biggest priority is trying to get on the I-5 as reasonably quickly as I can after the game. From everything I am seeing online, gate C seems to be my best bet. Is it worth it to pay for the preferred parking in advance? or should I get a spot nearest gate C? or is it better to just take my chances with a smaller lot outside of the stadium somewhere? Any tips or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

TIA!
