Anaheim Launches Major Assessment to Secure Angel Stadium's Future Amid Past Redevelopment Controversies
August 27, 2025
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.
