Angel Stadium - Anaheim, CA

Home to the Los Angeles Angels baseball team, Angel Stadium opened on April 9, 1966 with an exhibition game between the California Angels and the San Francisco Giants. Often referred to as the Big A, the stadium is one of the oldest active Major League Baseball stadiums in the country. The stadium underwent renovations in 1979 to 1980 to increase its seating capacity to accommodate the NFL’s Los Angeles Rams, although the Rams left Anaheim for St. Louis, Missouri, in 1995. Today, Angels games are the focal point of the stadium, but it also plays host to a number of events including monster truck jams, sports camps, charity walks, red carpet events, live music concerts and more.

Angel Stadium has a seating capacity of approximately 45,050. The stadium is divided into three levels, including field, clubs/suites and upper. On the field level, the concourse surrounds the entire ballpark, leading to a concession area and seating area in centerfield. For young fans, the stadium has a centerfield play area, which offers a variety of activities and children’s concessions. Throughout the park, there are a number of food and beverage concessions selling classic ballpark fare like hot dogs and beer. When the Angels are on the road, the stadium offers walking tours of the facilities.

Watching a baseball game live is exhilarating and fun, and to ensure a hassle-free experience, there are things you should know prior to a game. To avoid the long lines, pre-purchase a will-call ticket. The stadium has will-call windows located at the Home Plate Gate. You can bring items such as personal cameras with a lens less than six inches, personal-sized umbrellas, outside food (but not in bulk), plastic factory-sealed water bottles up to one liter in size, and electronic devices, as long as they don’t bother other fans. Don’t forget to check the weather advisory before heading to a game, as weather conditions may result in a delay or cancellation.
