Angels exploring Irvine for new stadium.

[ELEVEN]

Just knock down California Adventure and put it there.

Your California Adventure Angels! (Of Los Angeles)

[disarcina]

well the example of how difficult it is to do anything re a new ballpark may be Oakland's plight.

 

they should have been in a new ballpark years ago and they're stuck.

 

the situation there re the ballpark has been weighing down that franchise for years --- all their efforts to re-locate (complicated by SF Giants opposition just as a move to downtown LA would be opposed by the LA Dodgers who would oppose it within MLB ranks as well as using its political clout to set up roadblocks to any Angels/ downtown LA deal)......so this whole situation is going nowhere soon.

The Irvine Company Angels?

are you baggin on asians?

Hardly. My wife is Asian. I was referring to the demographics of the city which is roughy as much Asian as any other ethnicity. I think Asians and white are each about 30%ish.

Besides. Everyone knows I like Adam here.

This would be sweet, considering I'm going to UCI.

The Irvine Company Angels?

Home games at Bren Field at the Irvine Spectrum?

[CeramicDragon]

Close to my home.

Considering the demographic of the city, maybe they should move to the Nippon league.

Irvine is just japanese people? Irvine is a mix of different Asian groups. Chinese, Korean, Filipino, Vietnamese, Japanese. Your joke doesn't make sense.

That's like saying "I have a black friend" who gives?

That's so true. I am a Filipino and I have relatives who live there.

There are more Taiwanese and South Koreans than Japanese there I think.

[joeywings]

If they mover to Carson, we're hosed.

I think there might be some real estate by 405 before Long Beach that might be suitable.

[Amazing Larry]

Home games at Bren Field at the Irvine Spectrum?

The new team colors will be beige and dark beige.

[Stradling]

Exactly like that, assuming you married your black friend.

Uggh - it's amazing how grown men can't seem to figure anything out - how hard is it to make them staying in Anaheim work ? It's the best option for both parties - so silly to have all this back and forth

going nowhere indeed - they really need to work it out

[mancini79]

As long as the Angels stay in the OC area, I could care less about the stadium negotiations. If the Angels leave, that's Anaheim's loss.

Holy shit man, people are trying to make so much out of this.  He referenced the largest, most prominent Asian Baseball league as a nod to the large Asian population in the area.   Let it go already.

[Brent Maguire]

I'm all for a new stadium but none of these destinations seem realistic as this point. Anaheim has a great thing going with the Angels and the stadium is located in a very convenient spot. 

 

I'd like to see some massive upgrades and add on to the surrounding area. If they can find a new spot that's within 10 miles of Angels Stadium, that works as well. 

[Punk]

Move them to Pasadena! 

[Angel Oracle]

The new stadium near the current is probably the ultimate answer, as Anaheim is centrally located.

[Amazing Larry]

The new stadium near the current is probably the ultimate answer, as Anaheim is centrally located.

I would love for the stadium to be built on the Orangewood/State College corner but that is private land so there would be some hurdles to cross. Whatever happens I would stake my money on a new stadium being built in the parking lot with new retail/commercial/residential developments surrounding it.

[gotbeer]

It would be funny if the Angels moved to Irvine.  

 

Then Angels stadium was demolished, and Samulei builds a NHL/NBA arena on the current Angels property with shopping around it.  

[greginpsca]

Tear down the Brea Mall, and put the new stadium there.

Except most of us fail to understand that the Japanese are not the most popular people to the Chinese and Koreans to begin with. 

[Aaronkv]

I'd love this since I come from the south. Irvine is where I usually hit traffic getting to Anaheim. Just please no PSL's on a new stadium!
