What makes it iconic

  • The 'Big A' — a 230-foot-tall A-shaped sign with a halo, originally a scoreboard support, now a freestanding landmark in the parking lot.
  • The California Spectacular — an artificial waterfall and rocks beyond the center field wall, added in the 1998 renovation.
  • Fourth-oldest active MLB park, after Fenway, Wrigley, and Dodger Stadium.
  • Renovated in 1998 to remove a football configuration after the Rams left for St. Louis.

Notable moments

  • The 2002 World Series title — the Angels' only championship — won in seven games over San Francisco. The Rally Monkey was born.
  • Mike Trout's three MVP awards (2014, 2016, 2019) and decade-plus of historically great play.
  • Shohei Ohtani's 2021 and 2023 unanimous AL MVP awards as a two-way star.
  • Nolan Ryan's strikeout records — 383 in a season (1973), four no-hitters as an Angel.

Timeline

  1. 1966

    Anaheim Stadium opens

    The Angels moved out of Dodger Stadium (their tenant home from 1962-65) into a permanent home in Orange County.

  2. 1979

    First playoff appearance

    The Angels won the AL West, but lost the ALCS to Baltimore in four games. Don Baylor was AL MVP.

  3. 1998

    Major renovation

    The football configuration (added for the Rams in 1980) was removed, and the California Spectacular was added. The park became baseball-only again.

  4. 2002

    World Series title

    Behind Troy Glaus, Garret Anderson, and Tim Salmon, the Angels beat the Giants in seven games. Game 6, with the Angels facing elimination, was an all-time classic — a five-run rally to force a Game 7.

  5. 2018

    Ohtani arrives

    Shohei Ohtani signed with the Angels and revolutionized baseball as a two-way player. He'd win MVP in 2021 and 2023 before leaving in free agency.
