Can the Angels even move to downtown LA?

[yk9001]

Are there restrictions to him moving the club to LA?  Can he do it?  Does he need approval from owners?  Doyyer?

Ask the Clippers.

Dodgers and Angels share Orange, Ventura and Los Angeles Counties.  Angels could move to Downtown LA if they wanted.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

As a Kings, Lakers, and LB State fan, I wouldn't be demoralized if the Halos moved to LA County.

It's a heck of a lot better than leaving SoCal all together.

As NMH said, no.  But the Angels would need approval from the MLB in terms of having financing deals in place.  

 

The harder part will be to get city permission.  I think it took 2-3 years just to get the environmental side of thing approved for the Convention Center football stadium.  Just because a football stadium was approved, doesn't mean that a baseball stadium will be approved.  Because now you are dealing with 8 Sundays, to 81 games throughout the week.

 

And to make matters even worse.  You would go from pretty much in control of your stadium, to being under AEG's thumb.

If they move out of Anaheim, I would like it to be LA.

Where exactly would they move if they went to LA?
