Angel Stadium | Must Do
Check out the center field waterfall
In center field you’ll find a waterfall feature that flows over a giant faux rock formation. The “California Spectacular” also features geysers, steam and pyrotechnics that go off at the start of games, after every Angels home run and after every Angels win.
View the 2002 World series Trophy
Catch a glimpse of the team’s 2002 World Series trophy on display inside the entrance to the team store on the 100 level. Enter through the main gate behind home plate for easy access to the store.
View the “Big A”
The Big A is a HUGE red metal sign that welcoming fans in the parking lot. It is 230 feet tall, and weights 210 tons. The Angels light the halo of the sign after every win.

Angel Stadium | Transportation and Parking
Keep in mind that Cali Traffic is REAL! If you’re coming from out of town, leave yourself an hour longer than you initially think you’ll need. There’s nothing worse than missing part of a game or missing out on something that you wanted to do before the game due to sitting in traffic. Better to get there way early and pass the time at a nearby bar or restaurant.
Avoid LA area traffic and parking headaches by hoping on the Angels Express. Tickets are $7 round trip for adults, $6 for seniors/disabled, $4 for youth (6-18) and free for (5 and under). You can purchase tickets ahead of time via the Metrolink app, or at the ticketing machines at stations. Hop on from Orange County, Los Angeles, or Riverside area stations.
Visit the Angels Express website to plan the specifics of your trip.
Official Angel Stadium Lot
Unlike other parks, Angel Stadium has one, easy to access lot that surrounds the entire ballpark. Gates to the parking lot open 2.5 hours prior to first pitch, and can be accessed from Douglass, Orangewood, and State College.
Rates are incredibly reasonable for a major league sporting event at just $10 a car for regular parking and $20 for preferred. You can pay via cash, debit/credit, and both Apple and Android Pay.
Off-Site / Free Parking Options
The official parking is pretty cheap at just $10/car. But, if you want to save that 10-spot for an extra beer, you have a few options.
Both Nobel Ale Works and the Karl Strauss Brewery allow patrons to park in their lots, then walk over to the ballpark. Our recommendation is to spend the $10 you save with these guys!
There is also usually street parking available on the corner of Eckhoff and Orangewood. We suggest using the official lot, or one of the breweries.
Uber & Lyft
If you’d rather not drive, Uber and Lyft are great options for getting to and from Angel Stadium. Uber is the official rideshare company endorsed by the Angels, so you’ll see their logo everywhere. Don’t worry, Lyft is still allowed to pickup and drop off at the ballpark. In fact, you may be better off calling a Lyft since everyone else will be staring at Uber signage all night.
Drivers know to pick up in the official rideshare area of the official lot, directly in front of Gate 1. Don’t be afraid to call your car as you’re walking out of the park. You’ll be waiting on it for awhile, so you may want to consider heading over to a nearby bar to wait out the post-game rush.
If you’re new to Uber, you can use this link to get a discount on your first few rides.

Angel Stadium | Best Seats
Best Seats for Game Views
The club level of the park is a fan favorite for several reasons. Seats in the 300 section are just below the suite level, and have great views, shorter lines for food and restrooms, and aren’t ridiculously priced.
The 400 level just behind home plate are great values for views. Just be conscious of the sun if attending a day game.
Where not to Sit
Avoid section 135 which is known for obstructed views.
Best Seats for Shade
Home plate faces northeast, so your best chances for shade are on the 3rd base side of the ballpark. The back half of the 200 sections are also mostly in the shade. Aim for rows 12-15.
Angel Stadium | Ballpark Food
It’s pretty much agreed upon that the ballpark fare at Angel Stadium is hard to get excited about, but if you’re a basic ballpark food fan, you’ll be perfectly content. There are a few unique items, and a pretty cool in-park restaurant that is worth checking out.
The Must Have: The Helmet Nachos
The helmet nachos are a long heralded go-to of Angels fans. Get ’em piled high with all the fixings, then keep the hat as a souvenir. If there are 2 or 3 of you, even better, because they’re huge.
Something Special: The Red velvet whoopie pie
If you’re looking for something sweet, the Red Velvet Whoopie Pie is a solid choice. Cream cheese filling nestled between two Angels red pies. This thing is the size of an average burger!
The Beer Hack
At some park’s concession stands, the large beer is a con, charging double the price for just a little more beer. Angel Stadium is one of those places. Two smalls are better than one large!
Something Fancy: Saint Archer Brewing Co.
This in-park restaurant is located above first base, with “patio views” of the field. Saint Archer beer is served on tap, with above-par food available. We’ve heard the pretzel is a solid choice. Historically, if you use the Open Table app, you can make reservations a week prior to a game.
You can even purchase cheap seats to get into the park, make reservations, and camp out at the restaurant table.
Vegetarian and Vegan Options at Angel Stadium
Beyond meat burgers are available at Angel Stadium, as are veggie dogs, bean burritos and black bean burgers.

Bars and Restaurants
We believe that in order to fully experience a ballpark, you should spend some time in the nearby area. We’re also big believers that pre and post game rushes are awful. We suggest you spend some time at these local establishments instead of sitting in traffic or rushing to the train.
The Catch | 2100 E Katella Ave Anaheim, CA 92806 | Website | Menu | Click to Call
This is one of the most popular places in the area to have a bite or a brew before the game. Located just across the street, they even have game day tailgate parties on their patio. Check out their gameday menu we’d recommend the Snack Bomb Nachos if you’re skipping the helmet nachos once inside the park.
Nobel Ale Works | 1621 Sinclair St B, Anaheim, CA 92806 | Website | Menu | Click to Call
Mentioned in our parking section, this brewery will let you park in their lot and walk over to the park if you have a beer first. And why wouldn’t you? They’re known to rotate taps often, so it’s hard to recommend a beer, but the bartenders know what’s up. They don’t serve food but they do sometimes have food trucks.
Karl Strauss Brewing Company | 2390 E Orangewood Ave #100, Anaheim, CA 92806 | Website | Menu | Click to Call
Another pre-game favorite for local brews that features a great view and short walk to the ballpark. This spot serves both vegan and vegetarian options, and is family friendly, so feel free to bring the kids. Known for their burgers.
Golden Road Brewing | 2210 E Orangewood Ave, Anaheim, CA 92806 | Website | Menu | Click to Call
This spot is right across the street from the park and boasts an impressive beer and food menu and large outdoor space. Perfect for before or after the game. Family friendly with something for everyone, including vegetarians and vegans.
