Unfortunately, it’s against the law. According to the Los Angeles Times, the Dodgers read a report saying Puig was interested in purchasing a chopper of his own.

After doing some research, the team found it’s against FAA regulations to set one down at Dodger Stadium for a couple of reasons. No landing pad and regulations about flying too close to stadiums.

Puig, whose tardiness is well known, joked to a club official he still intends to give it a shot.

"It's now turning into a comedy routine,” Dodgers Chief Marketing Officer Lon Rosen told the Times.
