More than 500 Los Angeles Dodgers fans plan to pack Toros Mobil Park in Tijuana on Tuesday, June 2, when the Toros de Tijuana host the Charros de Jalisco. The group outing, organized by the well-known Dodgers fan club Pantone 294, is the largest single-event fan mobilization at the stadium this season. It is also the most visible sign yet that former Dodgers infielder Justin Turner’s arrival in Tijuana has turned the Cerro Colorado ballpark into a cross-border pilgrimage site for LA baseball loyalists.
Pantone 294 Built a Following Across 50,000 Members
Pantone 294 takes its name from the Pantone color code for Dodger Blue. The group was founded in 2003 by a small circle of fans in Los Angeles. It has since grown into one of the largest independent fan clubs in Major League Baseball, claiming more than 50,000 members across social media. The club organizes group outings to Dodger Stadium, road trips to rival parks, and charitable events throughout Southern California.
But a trip across the border to a Mexican Pacific League (LMP) game is unusual territory. The LMP is Mexico’s premier winter and summer baseball circuit, featuring 16 teams from Baja California to the Yucatán. Toros de Tijuana, founded in 2003 and playing at the 16,000-seat Toros Mobil Park on the eastern edge of the city, regularly draw fans from both sides of the border. Still, an organized bloc of 500-plus visiting supporters from a single U.S. fan club is not a routine occurrence at any LMP venue.
Justin Turner Signed With Toros de Tijuana in May 2026
The catalyst for the Pantone 294 trip is Justin Turner, who signed with the Toros earlier this month. Turner, now 41, spent nine seasons with the Dodgers from 2014 to 2022. He was a two-time All-Star, a key figure in the club’s 2020 World Series championship, and one of the most popular players in recent Dodger Stadium history. His red beard and clutch postseason hitting made him a fan favorite across Southern California.
After stints with the Boston Red Sox and the Seattle Mariners, Turner joined the Toros roster for the 2026 LMP summer season. His presence has already drawn attention from Dodgers fans in the San Diego and Tijuana metro area. Attendance at recent Toros home games has ticked upward since his debut, and Dodger Blue jerseys have become a common sight in the stands at Cerro Colorado.
Turner is not the first former MLB player to appear in the LMP. The league has a long history of attracting aging veterans and rising prospects from U.S. organizations. Adrian González played for Toros de Tijuana in 2019 after his MLB career wound down. But Turner’s deep connection to the Dodgers, a team with one of the largest and most passionate fanbases in baseball, gives his signing a different resonance on the border.
Toros Mobil Park Sits 20 Minutes From the San Ysidro Crossing
Toros Mobil Park is located on Boulevard Industrial in the Mesa de Otay area of Tijuana. For fans crossing from San Diego, the stadium is roughly a 20-minute drive from the San Ysidro Port of Entry, depending on traffic. The Otay Mesa crossing offers another option about 15 minutes east. Parking at the stadium costs around 100 pesos (about $5 USD), and general admission tickets typically range from 150 to 350 pesos ($8 to $18 USD).
Game-day food options at Toros Mobil Park include the usual ballpark fare alongside Tijuana staples: carne asada tacos, elote, and micheladas. Fans attending the June 2 game should expect longer lines at concessions and at the gates. Arriving early is advisable, both to secure parking and to clear the border crossing without missing first pitch. The Toros typically schedule weeknight home games for 7:30 p.m. local time.
For those driving back to San Diego after the game, northbound wait times at San Ysidro can exceed 90 minutes on weekday evenings. The SENTRI lane at Otay Mesa is a faster option for enrolled travelers.
The June 2 matchup against the Charros de Jalisco is part of a midweek home series at Toros Mobil Park. The Toros are scheduled to host additional home games through the first two weeks of June. First reported by Zeta Tijuana.
