CLUB HISTORY 2026

The 2026 season marks the 61st season for the Angels playing home games at Angel Stadium. After
spending their first five years of existence playing at Wrigley Field (1961) and Chavez Ravine (1962-65), the
Halos landed in their new home in Orange County in 1966. Since opening the doors for its first exhibition
game Apr. 9, 1966, Angel Stadium has played host to some of the Club’s most memorable events, including
seven A.L. West Division clinching games (1979, 1982, 1986, 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2014), three All-Star
Games (1967, 1989 and 2010), the 2006 World Baseball Classic and the 2002 World Series, including the
Angels Game 7 victory over the San Francisco Giants to clinch the franchise’s first championship. Angel
Stadium has also seen several individual Halos leave their indelible marks on the game of baseball. Whether
it be the seven Angels no-hitters, Rod Carew’s 3,000th hit, Reggie Jackson’s 500th home run, Don Sutton’s
300th win or Albert Pujols’ 600th home run, Angel Stadium has housed some of Major League Baseball’s
most prestigious accomplishments.
Presently, Angel Stadium sits as baseball’s fourth-oldest ballpark, trailing only Boston’s Fenway Park,
Chicago’s Wrigley Field and Los Angeles’ Dodger Stadium. Affectionately known as “The Big A”, Angel Stadium
has seen over 130 million fans pass through its gates since 1966, including a stretch of 17 consecutive full
seasons drawing over three million fans, a streak only the Angels and Yankees achieved from 2003-19.
