Angel Stadium: the Big A in Anaheim
Angel Stadium of Anaheim, opened in 1966, is one of the oldest active ballparks in the majors, recognizable for the “Big A” halo sign and the “California Spectacular” — an artificial rock formation and geysers behind the left-center field fence that erupt for Angels home runs.
It's in the heart of Orange County, minutes from Disneyland, making it an easy family add-on to an LA-area trip.
Below are the Anaheim and Orange County stays, restaurants and bars fans use around Angel Stadium.
Fan tip: It's minutes from Disneyland — easy to pair a game with an Orange County family trip.

Things to Do
Things to Do
Rent a $1 seat cushion (or BYO)
Most Bowl seats (sections E through X2) are wooden benches with backs, and cushion rentals at the gate (typically a few dollars) are a longstanding part of the ritual; they often run out, so regulars BYO or arrive early. American Express cardholders can get a complimentary cushion at guest services with a valid card.
Things to Do
BYOB only on LA Phil-presented nights, not lease events
You can bring wine and beer (glass bottles allowed) into the Bowl, but only for LA Phil-presented events; lease events (most pop/rock concerts) are no-alcohol-BYO. No kegs or hard liquor either way. Coolers and baskets must measure under 15 by 15 by 22 inches and fit under your seat or inside your box.
Things to Do
Skip Highland Avenue: use Park & Ride or the Ovation Hollywood shuttle
Bowl parking is stacked, meaning you can be boxed in for 30-60 minutes after the show. The Park & Ride bus network serves multiple LA lots, and the Ovation Hollywood Shuttle (Line 671) runs every 15-20 minutes from a $25/day garage at 1736 N Orange Dr starting 2.5 hours before the show, with return buses ~20 minutes after concert end.
Things to Do
Pre-show picnicking is the defining LA rite
Picnicking at the Bowl is decades-old LA tradition: 14 designated picnic areas open as early as four hours before showtime, and Bowl regulars arrive with blankets, full meals, and wine glasses. Time Out LA calls it an LA rite of passage; philanthropist Dorothy Chandler is credited with turning Bowl picnicking into a high-status candelabra-and-silver affair generations ago.
Things to Do
Box subscribers pre-order Suzanne Goin 'Supper in Your Seats'
Box-seat ticket holders can pre-order Suzanne Goin summer-supper meals (with Caroline Styne wine pairings) delivered straight to their box. Each Bowl box has a wine-bottle holder, and boxes themselves are treated like family heirlooms passed down across generations of LA Phil subscribers.
Attraction
