"Assemblyman Avelino Valencia's 'Home Run for Anaheim Act' aims to mandate that any new lease or sale of Angel Stadium requires the team to revert to the Anaheim Angels name, reflecting the city's support over the years."
"Valencia stated, 'The Angels have been supported by the city and its residents for 60 years. I think it's rightfully owed to the residents that, if the team wants to play in Anaheim, then the name should also resemble that.'"
"The Angels' current stadium lease extends through 2032, with options to extend through 2038, following a previous agreement that fell through due to state objections regarding public property sales."
Anaheim officials are taking steps to restore the Angels' name to the Anaheim Angels. Assemblyman Avelino Valencia introduced legislation requiring any sale or new lease of Angel Stadium to condition the team name's return. Mayor Ashleigh Aitken is investigating potential lease violations related to the name change. Valencia's bill, the 'Home Run for Anaheim Act,' aims to ensure the team reflects its city in future developments. The Angels' current lease extends through 2032, with options to extend through 2038, following a failed deal for a long-term agreement.
