Step Inside: Angel Stadium of Anaheim – Home of the LA Angels

Stadium History | Parking & Admission | Seating & Capacity | Food & Concessions

Angel Stadium of Anaheim, which is also known as Angel Stadium and by its unofficial nickname “the Big A,” is located in Anaheim, California just south of Los Angeles. The stadium has served as the home of the Los Angeles Angels of Major League Baseball since its opening in 1966. It was also the home venue for the Los Angeles Rams of the National Football League from 1980 to 1994.

The stadium was built for the Los Angeles Angels after the franchise joined Major League Baseball as an expansion team in 1961. In their first year as a franchise, the Angels played at Los Angeles’ former Wrigley Field, then spent four seasons sharing Dodger Stadium with the Los Angeles Dodgers before moving to Angel Stadium in 1966.

Major League Baseball added two expansion teams in 1961: a new Washington Senators franchise (after the previous Senators relocated and became the Minnesota Twins), and the Los Angeles Angels. Ownership of the Angels was granted to a group led by Hollywood star Gene Autry, who owned the team from 1961 to 1997.

The Angels played their first five seasons at Los Angeles’ Wrigley Field, then later at Dodger Stadium, which was referred to as Chavez Ravine Stadium for Angels games. Ground was broken for the Angels’ stadium on August 31, 1964 and construction was completed in time for the 1966 season. Angel Stadium is now the fourth-oldest active stadium in Major League Baseball behind Fenway Park, Wrigley Field and Dodger Stadium.

In the 1970s, the Los Angeles Rams were looking for a new home venue and eventually settled on Angel Stadium. Rams owner Carroll Rosenbloom negotiated with Angels ownership to add an additional 23,000 seats to the stadium for football games. The expansion was completed in time for the 1980 season, and the Rams used Angel Stadium for their home games until 1994.

In 1996, The Walt Disney Company, who had owned a minority ownership in the Angels franchise since its founding, became the majority owner. Extensive renovations then took place and Angel Stadium became a baseball-only venue.

Angel Stadium has hosted several notable events, including the MLB All-Star Game in 1967, 1989 and 2010. It also hosted the 2002 World Series between the Angels and the San Francisco Giants. The Angels beat the Giants four games to three to win their first-ever World Series championship.

Many concerts have also been held at Angel Stadium, with the first show being played by The Who in 1970 during their Tommy Tour. Other major groups and artists to perform at Angel Stadium include the Rolling Stones, the Osmonds, Pink Floyd, the Eagles, and the Grateful Dead.
