Anaheim Launches Major Assessment to Secure Angel Stadium's Future Amid Past Redevelopment Controversies
  • Anaheim is conducting a comprehensive assessment to determine how much money will be required to keep Angel Stadium viable for decades, with a decision expected by mid-2026.

  • The Angels’ lease at Angel Stadium runs through 2032, and there are currently no talks about extensions or long-term arrangements beyond that date, according to Anaheim City Manager Jim Vanderpool.

  • The city council authorized the stadium condition assessment in 2023, and the final results are due in mid-2026 after ongoing concrete and metal structure testing.

  • A notable past development was the failed 2022 proposal in which Angels owner Arte Moreno would have purchased the stadium and surrounding land for $150 million, but the city retained ownership and tenancy.

  • The broader context includes corruption investigations involving former Anaheim Mayor Harry Sidhu that have influenced stadium redevelopment discussions and decisions.

  • The assessment will outline required upgrades and will likely spark discussions about which party should bear the costs for any necessary improvements.
