Batter up! The time has come for your long-awaited visit to Angel Stadium of Anaheim, originally known as Anaheim Stadium, a modern-style ballpark located in the southeast section of the city off the Santa Ana River. Since its opening in 1966, it has served as the home ballpark of the Los Angeles Angels (MLB) and the home stadium to the Los Angeles Rams until 1994.
This classic and exemplary stadium is often referred to by its unofficial nickname The Big A, is the fourth-oldest active MLB stadium, and home to the landmark Big A sign and electric marquee whose famous halo is illuminated following games in which the Angels win (both at home and on the road), which gives rise to the revered fan expression, "Light that baby Up!"
Baseball fans unite and step into the "celestial" world of The Los Angeles Angels, an American professional baseball team based in Anaheim and taking their name from nearby Los Angeles. This well-known and cherished team competes in MLB as a member of the American League (AL) West Division and has played all their home games at Angel Stadium since 1966.
The Angels' first owner was the legendary Gene Autry, the singing cowboy of stage and film. The mantra "Win One for the Cowboy" refers to Autry who dreamed of the historic day that all fans remember in 2002 when The Angels won the World Series. Angels player Tim Salmon ran into the home dugout and brought out one of Autry's signature white Stetson hats in honor of the "singing cowboy."
