Angel Stadium of Anaheim, Baseball stadium in Anaheim, United States.
Angel Stadium of Anaheim is a baseball stadium in Anaheim, California, home to the Los Angeles Angels. A rock formation in center field bleachers represents the California coastline, with geysers shooting water up to 90 feet (27 meters) high.
Ground was broken in 1964 on farmland in southeast Anaheim, and the ballpark opened on April 19, 1966, as Anaheim Stadium, when the Angels moved from Dodger Stadium. The Rams' 1980 arrival brought expansion from about 43,000 to 64,593 seats. After the Rams left in 1995, a $118 million rebuild reopened it as a baseball-only park in 1997, named Edison International Field; the name became Angel Stadium in 2004.
The 230-foot, 210-ton Big A sign stands near the eastern edge of the parking lot; it began as a scoreboard support in left field. Its halo once blinked on and off after dark on game days when the Angels won, at home or on the road, and stayed on without blinking after losses. Broadcaster Victor Rojas called it "Light that baby up!"; since at least 2023 the halo stays lit, shining brighter after wins.
Food stands throughout the stadium offer burgers, tacos, nachos, hot dogs, and pizza for visitors. The first base side provides shade during day games and offers more comfortable seating during hot afternoons.
A trophy display near the home plate gate showcases the 2002 World Series trophy, a championship ring, and Gene Autry's cowboy hat from the original owner. These items commemorate the team's only championship and the franchise's roots in showbusiness.
