Here’s an idea, in Tempe they’ve turned the essentially dry Salt River into the Tempe Town Lake.  I don’t know if it’s just for looks or it’s a functional reservoir but maybe the same could be done for the section of the Santa Ana River next to the stadium.  Pretty it up and make a park around it.  Then demolish part of the existing outfield section but so that the rest of the stadium is usable and build the new stadium in basically the same direction as the old one but so that the new one sits up next to the new river park.  That opens up much of the west side of the parking lot for development.

Just an idea.

The Big A with a McCovey cove kinda thing. Folks could hang out in kayaks and drink beer waiting for the splash. Sounds swell.

The city still owes 500K+ from when they made an addition to the Stadium...    Pretty sure the last thing they wanted to do was take on the costs on tearing that big boy down and getting rid of whatever hazardous materials and the sort were used to build the place.   

From the article https://www.ocregister.com/2019/12/04/angels-agree-to-stay-in-anaheim-through-2050-stadium-to-be-sold-for-325-million/

A city-commissioned appraisal – which is expected to be released publicly Wednesday – determined the land could be worth anywhere from $225 million to $475 million, but the highest potential values hinged on getting rid of the stadium (thus freeing the entire 153 acres for development) or keeping the stadium but cutting the parking requirement in half.

How does this proposal compare to a few years ago when Arte was to get the parking lots for development for a buck.  I cannot remember the details.

So, this is where Cole and Strasburg's money went?

Now that he owns it all (like The Dodgers) which is probably what he wanted from the start, I don't see Moreno selling the team, period.

"arte isn't selling the angels before a "new" stadium is built or the redevelopment. the angels will be worth considerably more after all that is completed. "
