Angels are extending stadium deal w/ Anaheim no more "of Anaheim"

[HBMike]

Bill Shaikin ?@BillShaikin 
Anaheim City Council to vote Tuesday on entering negotiations to extend #Angels stadium lease thru 2057, with opt-outs in 2036 and 2050.

 

Bill Shaikin ?@BillShaikin 
Under new #Angels stadium lease, team could call itself whatever it wants. No more "of Anaheim" in "Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim."

 

Bill Shaikin ?@BillShaikin 
Key part of #Angels stadium story: Team and city would delay current opt out from 2016 to 2019, extending time to negotiate new deal.

 

Discuss.

I just hope we make the playoffs before 2057.

I can understand why the city of Anaheim no longer wants its name associated with the Angels.

Then maybe you shouldn't be an Angels fan. The Angels are having a rough year, it happens. I am still  proud to be an Angel fan. The city is lucky to have them, they make money off the Angels.

Hopefully the new stadium deal would include a much different stadium than the one that's there now

Nothing on stadium renovations?

Major renovation on same property is the goal. RT @the14thjoey I was hoping for a major renovation or a new stadium on the same property.

LOL at the seriousness of this post.

[HaloCory22]

Maybe i overacted, but I'm around Doyer fans all day long. I'm little tired of people talking shit about the Angels. 

You're a prison guard? Nice!

That would be a nice 102nd birthday present.

The actual deal is that they're paying Moreno to take it off.

New stadium please! Build it in the parking lot and build a nice bar/restaurant scene where fans can go before and after games so we're not stuck with OC Sports Grill or The Catch. Give it the SD/SF downtown feel.

 

 

For now, I'll settle for some new HD jumbotrons.

[Troll Daddy]

"of Anaheim" was the best part of the name . Now we're just another LA team.

Interesting article.  I wonder what land Arte is interested in.  Could it be the parking lots?  I could see them doing a major renovation to he stadium and then converting the parking lots into a shopping/restaurant/entertainment district.

While they're at it, they should also put some sort of plaque in the stadium parking lot recognizing what Deniz has gone through as the team's superest of fans.

[ten ocho recon scout]

Wow.

lol.

'That escalated quickly'

[AngelsAndRamsFan]

It was obvious that was going to happen as soon as legally possible.

That's a great answer to a silly post.

[DropOfAnaheim]

YES!!!!! YES!!!!!!! YES!!!!!!!! YES!!!!!

[tdawg87]

That's a great answer to a silly post.

 

So is that.

[gotbeer]

Interesting that the opt out was extended to 2019.  And not just a lease extension.  

 

good thing the Economy won't improve by 2019 for a city to swoop in.

I can see how the City of Anaheim would want to tie up every conceivable loose end in order to prevent a non-ethical owner from trying to exploit another agreement in place.

 

Then again, I'm sure there's another loophole that can be found.

 

The previous agreement though probably relied too much on a gentlemen's agreement which did not take into account a complete d-bag of an owner taking the reigns and exploiting the city.

Always thought that the stadium name was Angela Stadium. That is what it says out front.
