Angel Stadium turns 60 next year. Anaheim wants to determine how many hundreds of millions of dollars will be needed to keep the stadium viable for decades. The Angels' lease runs through 2032 and no long-term talks with the team are underway. A 2022 proposed sale and redevelopment by Arte Moreno was canceled after a federal corruption probe into then-mayor Harry Sidhu. The Angels remain tenants and the city authorized a facility condition assessment in 2023. Engineers conducted visual inspections and are testing concrete and metal, with a finalized assessment expected in mid-2026. Results will guide renovation needs and funding responsibility.
Angel Stadium turns 60 next year. By then, the city of Anaheim hopes to learn how many hundreds of millions of dollars it might take to keep the stadium viable for decades to come. The Angels' stadium lease extends through 2032, and the city manager said Tuesday there are no talks between the city and the team about what might happen beyond then.
In 2022, after the disclosure of a federal corruption investigation into then-mayor Harry Sidhu, the council killed a deal under which Angels owner Arte Moreno would have bought the stadium and surrounding land for $150 million, then built a neighborhood atop the parking lots and renovated or replaced the stadium. The Angels remained a tenant in the city-owned stadium, and in 2023 the council authorized an assessment of the condition of the facility.
