[MLB] Angels Game Report ⚾️ ~ 📣Watch, drink, eat, and make the best memories🍺 ~

Hello everyone. This time, I would like to introduce some tips to help you enjoy the MLB Los Angeles Angels games even more.

About the Los Angeles Angels

Meet our team

This team belongs to the MLB, a professional baseball team in the United States. As many of you may know, Shohei Otani, who is a two-way player and won the American League MVP last year in 2021, is also a member of the team. The Angels were founded in 1961. At the time, MLB was concentrated on the East Coast, and the team was the first to be based on the West Coast and in California. In 2002, they won the World Series. Although they have not had any major achievements since 2002, the Angels are a team with momentum, with players such as Shohei Otani, outfielder Mike Trout, who has won the MVP award three times, and many other excellent players. By the way, the Angels are affectionately known to locals as the Halos, which refers to the halo of light that the angels wear. Their home stadium is the Angel Stadium of Anaheim.

Recommended seats

Section	View from the seat	Price (excluding tax)	comment
111-113		$94-$150	Not only can you watch the game, but you can also see the dugout (bench seats), making it a fun seat all year round. When the players finish their offense or defense and return to the dugout, you can get a good look at their expressions.
114-116		$250 - $151	You can watch the next batter's circle (where the next batter prepares by taking practice swings) and the players at bat up close. The players may even turn to face you when you call out to them. If you sit in a seat with a good view of the ball, you can also experience what it's like to be an umpire. If you sit in this seat, you can enjoy special access to the Diamond Club restaurant and enjoy meals and drinks.
411-415		$28	These seats are relatively inexpensive, but you'll be watching the game from directly above. You'll feel very close to the field, and compared to the outfield seats, these seats offer a more realistic feel. If you're lucky, you might even be able to catch a foul ball.

Transportation

Best way to get there from Downtown Los Angeles

Railway

If you use Metrolink , you can travel between LA and Anaheim for about $8 one way ( $10 round trip on weekends). It is very convenient because it arrives at the station platform right in front of the stadium. The journey takes about 45 minutes. (For more information , click here )

Flixbus. Prices vary, but you can generally travel between LA and Anaheim for less than $10 one way. Within Los Angeles, there are routes departing from Hollywood, Downtown LA, Pacoima Center, and UCLA. This bus arrives at the Anaheim Regional Transportation Intermodal Center, about a 10-minute walk from the stadium. There are people waiting for buses and trains at the center at all times of the day and night, so there are no safety issues. (More details here )

Pre-match tip

Important points to note when checking luggage

There are strict restrictions regarding bags, and backpacks in particular are prohibited from being brought on board, so be careful.

Warm Up

Before the game starts, all players except the pitcher and catcher warm up in front of seats 108-110. Regardless of your seat, you can watch the warm-up up close in the front of the first floor seats before the game starts.

Pitching practice

Before the game, pitchers practice pitching in a place called the bullpen. Usually, people who come to watch the bullpen practice gather in the front of seat 101. However, if you want to see the pitching itself up close, we recommend that you secure seats 257-260 and watch from there.

During the match

Food and drink!

When watching a baseball game, it is essential to have a drink in your right hand and food in your left hand! This time, I would like to introduce some of the most popular foods and drinks offered at Angel Stadium.

Food ☆ Recommendation

Nachos cart

Saint Archer Brewing Co. Restaurant

"Saint Archer Pretzel"

Jersey Mike's

Drinks ☆ Recommendations

There are beer stands all over the stadium! They serve high quality and delicious beer. Most of the prices are around a dozen dollars. Each stand sells products from one company. For example, Modelo, Blue Moon, Golden Road, Firestone Walker, etc. There is also a pub called Brewery X.
