WHERE TO PARK?

Angel Stadium is one of a handful of parks around Major League Baseball that offers a centralized lot for all fans. The parking lot opens 2 ½ hours before the first pitch and is located on 2000 Gene Autry Way. You can access the lot via Douglass Road, State College Boulevard, and Orangewood Avenue. Expect to pay $8 for game day parking.

Ballpark Chasers Tip: make note of where you parked in the Angels lot. It is very easy in this full parking lot to misplace your vehicle after the game. Oh, and don't rely on your your car alarm to save you as everyone else is trying the same thing!

 


WHERE TO EAT?

The Catch is hands down the place to go before an Angel’s game. Located across the street from Angel stadium, The Catch is known for their steaks and seafood. Other fun sit-down options near Angel Stadium are JT Schmid’s Restaurant and Brewery, National Sports Grill and Throwbacks Sports Bar and Grill.

 

 

If you want a quicker option, try In-N-Out Burger. For those not on the west coast, this will be a treat. Believe it or not, they actually have fresh beef (not frozen patties), fresh potatoes peeled in front of you and they use real ice cream for their shakes! Needless to say, you will not find a microwave, freezer or heat-lamp at In-N-Out Burger!

Inside the park, Angel Stadium offers one restaurant open to all ticket holders. Homeplate Club is buffet style ($25 for adults and $10 for children) with a great view of the main entrance and the large, red signature Angel hats!  They open 1 ½ hours prior to the first pitch so come early for a good seat. Other good eats within the ballpark are California Pizza Kitchen, The Beach Pit BBQ and Ruby’s.

 

 

WHERE TO BUY TICKETS?

Because the Angels are currently one of the top teams in Major League Baseball, we recommend to plan and purchase your tickets in advance. Discount Angel Stadium Tickets are available at BarrysTickets.com today! Scalping tickets is more challenging at Angel Stadium since scalpers are required to stay outside of the main parking lot. If you need last minute tickets, look for the guys holding the signs “I Need Tickets” between Gene Autry Way and State College Blvd.

 


WHEN TO GO?

Ahh, beautiful California! Enjoy baseball all season long with wonderful temperatures and very little chance of rain. Ballpark Chasers recommend late May through July or whenever your hometown is still experiencing spring temperatures.


 

WHAT ELSE TO SEE?

Within minutes of Angel Stadium, Disneyland is a perfect way to spend a day or two in Anaheim. Despite the notion that Disneyland is only a place for children, we recommend it for all ages. To really appreciate Orange County, make a trip to Newport Beach. Only 20 minutes from Angel Stadium, Newport Beach is a gorgeous area to work on that tan and get some rest and relaxation.
