An MLB GEM! Angel’s Stadium is so underrated. It’s crisp, the field is impeccable and I love the views from the upper deck! I’ve sat in a variety of spots and the only section that’s questionable view-wise is by the large yellow poles alongside the edges of the field. The Jumbotron is amazing, I can see everything I need (stats, facts etc.) clearly. There’s a cool set of flamethrowers by the waterfall that go off when we score. I absolutely adore the amount of food and beverage options. There’s tons of food, from Mexican (tacos, burritos, taquitos and more), burgers, chicken, mac and cheese, pizza and I’m not even scratching the surface. Food trucks come in with amazing BBQ, Asian-inspired dishes and other Latin cuisine! So goood. Also, the desserts are endless, I’ve always loved the ice cream and now there’s even more options like cookies (a whole pop-up), waffles, freshly baked brownies and again so much MORE. There’s tons of alcohol stands too if you’re into that like Don Julio and several brewery stands. There’s a bunch of team stores throughout the stadium, the main one at the front entrance and many smaller ones (at least one per level, the bottom level has several). I prefer the smaller ones for caps and smaller merch. The bigger store is more for clothing and miscellaneous memorabilia.
My main issue with Angels Stadium is the staff, I can’t give it five stars because the attitudes here are really odd. Most of the seating, escalator, and corridor attendants are grouchy, older people with bad vibes. It’s unfortunate that these folks hate their jobs. They’re also unprofessional, I heard them bashing on other workers, not very nice! I also see a sense of entitlement, some of the staff think they own the stadium and hand out dirty looks like Oprah hands out giveaways. It’s rare when I find friendly event staff which is a real shame. The parking staff are cool and the main entrance workers are fine. Parking was easy, there’s a lot of entrances and exits so it’s not too hard to travel to and from your car upon arrival and exit. Parking was $20, not thrilled but whatever.
Overall, I have a lot of great memories here and I’ll be sure to continue to return. It’s the first MLB stadium I went to as a kid and it will always hold a special place in my heart. Angels Stadium fueled my love for baseball. GO ANGELS!
