TEMPE DIABLO STADIUM
SPRING TRAINING

The Angels will hold Spring Training for the 33rd consecutive season (since 1993) in
Tempe, Arizona, where the Club plays home games at Tempe Diablo Stadium.
Tempe Diablo Stadium is the oldest active ballpark in the Cactus League after Oakland
moved out of Phoenix Municipal Stadium (1964) following the 2014 season.
The Halos initially signed a 25-year lease (including two five-year options) with the city
of Tempe on July 25, 1991, making Tempe Diablo Stadium their Spring Training facility until
2017, with an extension in 2004 to stay through 2025. In 2021, the Angels and the city agreed to extend the lease
through the year 2035.
Tempe Diablo Stadium, which is owned and operated by the City of Tempe Parks and Recreation Department,
previously housed the Seattle Pilots/Milwaukee Brewers (1969-71) and Seattle Mariners (1977-92).
In advance of the Angels moving to Tempe, the stadium was completely rebuilt and renovated with the combined
efforts of HOK Sports Facilities Group and the Angels. Groundbreaking for the stadium took place, Apr. 22, 1992
with an estimated cost of $5.8 million to complete. Two-thirds of the funding was provided by Maricopa County and
one-third by the city of Tempe. All revenues from food and beverage concessions, parking, souvenirs and in-stadium
advertising are shared equally by the City of Tempe and the Angels, while the city receives 20% of revenues from
ticket sales. In 2006, the Club upgraded their minor league spring operations, expanding its practice fields with four
additional lighted ball fields, refurbished clubhouses and expanded dugouts.
Dedication ceremonies for Tempe Diablo Stadium took place Feb. 27, 1993, with the Angels playing their first
spring home game, Mar. 7, 1993 against Oakland.
The current Tempe Diablo Stadium complex includes six-and-a-half practice fields in addition to the main stadium,
which was dedicated as Gene Autry Field in 1999 in honor of the former Angels owner who passed away after the
1998 season.
