Insider Tips
01
The One Thing
Get garlic fries and find a seat with a view of the left-center field rock and waterfall display. When the geyser fires on a home run, hold the garlic fries and watch.
02
The Rally Monkey
Watch the video board when the Angels need a late-inning rally. The Rally Monkey still appears and the crowd responds.
03
Arrive Early
Walk the exterior to see the Big A scoreboard structure with the halo. In the evening with the Orange County sky, it is the most Southern California thing.
04
Wahoo's and Garlic Fries
Wahoo's fish tacos and garlic fries are the two non-negotiable Angel Stadium food items. Both Southern California originals.
05
Parking Reality
Angel Stadium is car-centric on the freeway corridor. Most fans drive. Parking lots open 2.5 hours before game time.
06
Best Value Seat
Terrace sections 418–428 along the right field line. Good sight lines, lowest prices, rock and waterfall display visible at an angle.
