                   2026                              SPRING TRAINING


















                        The Angels will hold Spring Training for the 34th 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 fields, refurbished clubhouses and expanded dugouts.
        In 2025, the Angels debuted major renovations and expansions of the Player Development Center, including
        updates to the new Performance Center, Players’ Clubhouse, locker rooms, dining areas, weight room, kitchen
        and dining space, and athletic training rooms. The additions came as part of the agreement between the Angels
        and the City of Tempe to extend Tempe Diablo as the Angels Spring Training home through 2035.
          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.
