About the Angeles Stadium:

Is it Los Angeles or Anaheim? Either way, it is the home of the Angels. The ballpark was originally built in 1966 for the California Angels and has since been the home to an NFL team and a major earthquake. After undergoing a major renovation, it has become a baseball landmark. The “California Spectacular” in left-field features geysers that spray water and fireworks celebrations after every homerun. The Angels were World Series Champions in 2002 and have also won quite a few West Division Titles in their history.
