NASA space capsule[edit]

I recall as a child seeing one of NASA's space capsules at Angel Stadium. This was in the 1970s. If anybody has some information about it being there or it being removed (if it has), that might be some nice info to add to this entry in the Wikipedia!

Brian213 (talk) 16:38, 17 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I would like to know when the space capsules supposed to be opened: you meant the 1975 or 1976 America's bicentennial celebration and they are buried for a year I'm unsure of. 71.102.4.138 (talk) 00:29, 26 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Space capsule, not time capsule. I saw what looked like an Apollo command module at Anaheim Stadium a couple of times in the late 1970s or early 1980s. It wasn't complete: It was a just a shell with a lot of wires. 209.131.230.63 (talk) 22:38, 16 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

What locals call it[edit]

Currently, there is a sentence towards the end of the "Disney era" section, which states that local still call the stadium "Anaheim Stadium." However, I have lived in North County before 2003 and since then, and I have never heard a single person call it that. I have only heard people call it "Angel Stadium," regardless of the official name at the time.

Does anyone else live nearby that can substantiate or erode this phenomenon? I would like to see the article updated, but I didn't want to do so myself just in case I happen to completely misrepresent my immediately surrounding culture.

Vercillo (talk) 06:35, 24 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, most locals refer to it as Angel Stadium. Very few people still refer to it as Anaheim Stadium since the name change. I've only heard a couple of people call it that in the last few years. One was an older usher who greeted me with "Welcome to Anaheim Stadium" when I went to a game there. I agree that the article should be changed to reflect that.

I am from Orange County and I catch myself calling the stadium Anaheim Stadium or Angel Stadium interchangeably . . . most people I know use both names as well. Doesn't really matter though! --CASportsFan (talk) 12:39, 9 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Angel Stadium concession staff strike threat[edit]

In the fall of 2011 after the Angels' 50th season came to a close, the stadium's 800 staffers part of the union (AFL-CIO of Orange county) threatened to strike in the 2012 season until a new contract was reached to satisfy them and their demands to preserve employee benefits. If the staff did strike, the Angels may have to share Dodger Stadium or have the bankrupt Dodgers play "home" game series in Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas or even Queens, New York (to honor the former Brooklyn Dodgers whom left Brooklyn, New York city in 1958) to make the also bankrupt New York Mets have some of theirs' special series in Meadowlands Stadium in New Jersey. The strike can cost the Angel Stadium, the Angels baseball franchise and the local economy in the hundreds of millions of dollars. 71.102.4.138 (talk) 00:32, 26 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Updates: The stadium concession staff union agreed not to strike; and the Dodgers' were sold, according to Wikipedia's front page news:

Guggenheim Partners agree to purchase the Los Angeles Dodgers (cap insignia pictured) for US$2.1 billion, the most ever for a professional sports franchise. 71.102.4.138 (talk) 07:08, 29 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The Rams move in[edit]

It seems there may be a typo in this graf. "Matix" is probably "matrix." Cellmaker (talk) 13:40, 11 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Fence heights?[edit]

Can anyone post how high the outfield fences are in this ballpark?

WWII unofficial all-star games?[edit]

Under the baseball event section, there is a claim that Angel Stadium hosted two all-star games during WWII. I can find no evidence of that. I'm tempted to remove it, but thought I'd open a discussion here. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zukkie44 (talk • contribs) 15:48, 20 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I think you misread the article. It meant that the 1967 all star game was the first time an all star game was held at night since WWII. It never said that Angel Stadium hosted an all star game during WWII. It didn't even exist at that time. CrispyCream27 (talk) 05:52, 16 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Name?[edit]

It seems to me that the name of the stadium is now officially just "Angel Stadium" with Moreno taking control of the site. The "of" has been painted over in the front of the stadium although the "Anaheim" remains. This might be a "quiet" name change in the same way dropping the "of Anaheim" was for the team name back in 2015-2016. It's hard to tell without getting the new 2020 media guide, but, well, it's hard to get one with the COVID-19 situation. --2600:8802:500:4BF:8419:31E0:7D2:743E (talk) 07:48, 29 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
