Is the ballpark called Angel Stadium or Angel Stadium of Anaheim?

Both, and they are the same name. On December 29, 2003 the Angels announced that the stadium would be known as Angel Stadium, in full Angel Stadium of Anaheim; the encyclopedia records that as one naming event and not two. Which form is currently preferred for formal use could not be established by this research. MLB.com's own ballpark and transportation pages use the shorter form throughout, and this guide follows them.

Which bus route serves Angel Stadium?

This research could not establish one, and says so rather than guessing. The Orange County Transportation Authority's routes-and-schedules page lists routes 30, 38, 53, 59, 123, 129 and 553 as serving Anaheim generally, but none of them is tied on that page to the ballpark, and OCTA directs riders to its trip planner or its phone line for a route-specific answer. Rail is better established: the Anaheim Regional Transportation Intermodal Center at 2626 East Katella Avenue is served by Amtrak's Pacific Surfliner and Metrolink's Orange County Line.

What does parking cost at Angel Stadium?

Published day-of-game rates for the regular season are $25 in person or $27 online for general parking, and $35 in person or $37 online for preferred parking, subject to availability. Oversized vehicles and buses of 20 feet or more are $100, in person only. Payment is by debit or credit card or by Apple Pay or Android Pay, and postseason and special-event rates vary. The lot has three named entrances — Douglass Road, State College Boulevard and Orangewood Avenue — with oversized vehicles and buses using Orangewood Avenue, where season ticket holders also have an Express Entry Lane.

Is the DigAlert Grove of Anaheim open?

This guide does not say. Its identity is established — a 1,700-capacity venue at 2200 East Katella Avenue, opened in 1998 as "Tinseltown" and renamed four times since — but no source outside the encyclopedia could be reached for it. The domain the finder tried for its own site does not resolve, and every ticketing and listings service attempted was blocked or returned nothing. A recently updated name field is not a statement about trading. There is no evidence the venue has closed, and none is asserted.

Why is this guide short on places?

Because the research session's search budget was reported exhausted on its very first query, before any research began, and everything below rests on sources fetched directly by name. No business-licence portal for Anaheim or Orange County could be reached as a substitute for discovery, and the listings services that would normally surface neighborhood places were blocked or empty. The verifier records the consequence in terms: the surroundings are thinner than the transit and history material because of search access, not because there is nothing around the ballpark. Three places were researched and all three are published.

Angel Stadium: The Ballpark and the Platinum Triangle

Anaheim, California

Part of Major League Ballparks

Angel Stadium stands at 2000 Gene Autry Way in Anaheim, and the Los Angeles Angels have played there since it opened on April 19, 1966. It is nicknamed "The Big A".

This guide takes the ballpark first, then the arena and the music venue on East Katella Avenue, and then the ballpark's own record. Research for it was carried out with the session's search budget already exhausted, from named sources fetched directly: English Wikipedia, MLB.com's Angels pages, Metrolink's own station page and the Orange County Transportation Authority's routes page. The verifier records that the surroundings are thinner than the transit and history material for that reason, and that the thinness is a limit of access rather than a finding about Anaheim.

2200 East Katella Avenue: a 1,700-capacity music venue on the northwest corner of the Angel Stadium parking lot, opened in 1998 as "Tinseltown" and renamed four times since.

Getting there

The ballpark's address is 2000 Gene Autry Way, Anaheim, California 92806.

The Anaheim Regional Transportation Intermodal Center, at 2626 East Katella Avenue in Anaheim's Platinum Triangle, is served by Amtrak's Pacific Surfliner and by Metrolink's Orange County Line. Metrolink's own station page for Anaheim/ARTIC lists the Orange County Line and no other. The encyclopedia states that one of Angel Stadium's three gates "can be reached southwesterly through the Douglass Road underpass" from ARTIC.

On buses, the record is an absence and is published as one. No source this research reached identified a specific Orange County Transportation Authority route serving Angel Stadium itself. OCTA's routes-and-schedules page lists several routes serving Anaheim generally — 30, 38, 53, 59, 123, 129 and 553 — but none of them was confirmed on that page to stop at or near the ballpark, and OCTA directs riders to its trip planner or its phone line for a route-specific answer. No route is claimed here that the sources do not carry.

Published day-of-game parking rates for the regular season are $25 in person and $27 online for general parking, and $35 in person and $37 online for preferred parking, subject to availability. Oversized vehicles and buses of 20 feet or more are $100, in person only. Payment is by debit or credit card or by Apple Pay or Android Pay. Postseason and special-event rates vary from these figures. The same page states how far ahead of first pitch the lot opens; that clause is duration-shaped, this corpus publishes no duration-shaped string, and it is dropped rather than the gate weakened.

Three named entrances serve the parking lot: Douglass Road, State College Boulevard and Orangewood Avenue. Oversized vehicles and buses use the Orangewood Avenue entrance, and season ticket holders have an Express Entry Lane also on Orangewood Avenue. A separate Lexus Lot offers free parking for Lexus vehicles, and the first 100 Lexus vehicles entering by the State College Boulevard entrance receive a complimentary upgrade to that lot's premium spaces. The last clause is the one the research got wrong: the finder wrote it as a perk for the first 100 vehicles generally, the verifier refuted that reading against the source, and the narrower form the verifier states is what appears here.

Around the ballpark

Two places around the ballpark were researched, and both are on East Katella Avenue.

Honda Center, at 2695 East Katella Avenue, is the home arena of the NHL's Anaheim Ducks. The encyclopedia states that it "lies northeast across California State Route 57 from Angel Stadium" — a numbered route rather than a gesture, which is why it is published in those terms. The arena opened on June 17, 1993, with a Barry Manilow concert on June 19, 1993 as its first event; the two dates are the source article's own, in its infobox and its body respectively, and the disagreement is reported rather than resolved. It was called Anaheim Arena during construction. It hosted the 2003 Stanley Cup Final, and the Ducks won their first Stanley Cup there on June 6, 2007, defeating the Ottawa Senators 6-2. The NHL's own Ducks site currently names Honda Center as the team's arena, which is third-party evidence of operation rather than the arena's own account.

The DigAlert Grove of Anaheim, at 2200 East Katella Avenue, is a 1,700-capacity venue which the encyclopedia says "sits on the northwest corner of the parking lot of Angel Stadium of Anaheim". It opened in 1998 as "Tinseltown", an awards-show-themed restaurant and venue, became "The Sun Theatre", then "The Grove of Anaheim", and on January 24, 2011 became "City National Grove of Anaheim" under a five-year, $1.25 million naming-rights deal with City National Bank. The article, in its version dated August 4, 2026, gives the current name as "DigAlert Grove of Anaheim".

Two limits on that last paragraph are worth stating plainly. The current name rests on one source, and no independent confirmation of it could be reached — the venue's own site does not resolve at the domain the finder tried, and every ticketing and listings service attempted was blocked or returned nothing. So this guide does not say the Grove is trading. It does not say it has closed either: no closure notice and no successor at the address was found, and none should be inferred.

No official website is published for either place. Honda Center's own site was not fetched in either pass, and no working official site for the Grove could be located at all.

The ballpark and the team

Ground was broken on August 31, 1964 and the ballpark opened on April 19, 1966, at an original construction cost of about $24 million.

It has carried three names. Anaheim Stadium from 1966 to 1997; Edison International Field of Anaheim from 1998 to 2003, under a naming-rights deal with the utility company; and, from an announcement on December 29, 2003, Angel Stadium — in full, Angel Stadium of Anaheim. The two forms are one unchanged name rather than a later renaming. Which is the more precise form for formal use today could not be established: MLB.com's own channels use the shorter form throughout, while the encyclopedia article still gives the fuller form as the 2003 announcement's wording.

Football shaped the building and then left it. The Los Angeles Rams played there from 1980 to 1994, and a $118 million renovation between the 1997 and 1998 seasons returned the stadium to a baseball-only facility, removing the football-era infrastructure and adding outfield bleachers and the "California Spectacular" — geysers and a stream cascading down an artificial rock mountainside with real trees, behind the left-center-field fence — in time for the 1998 season. The rock formation has a name in the source; the verifier could not reproduce it verbatim on re-fetch, so the feature is described here and not named.

The club's name has moved more than the club has. The franchise was founded in 1961 as the Los Angeles Angels, became the California Angels in 1965 ahead of the move to Anaheim, the Anaheim Angels in 1997 after Disney acquired the club, and the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim in 2005 under owner Arte Moreno — the "of Anaheim" kept to satisfy a lease clause requiring the city's name. In 2016 it reverted to Los Angeles Angels, and throughout it has played at Angel Stadium in Anaheim.

On February 6, 2025 the Angels extended their lease to play at the ballpark through 2032.
