The Chronology

Your complete game day timeline at Angel Stadium.

3 hours before first pitch

Arrive and set up in the lot

Angel Stadium's massive parking lot is one of the few in MLB where traditional tailgating thrives. Get there early, pop the trunk, and set up.

2 hours before first pitch

Tailgate and socialize

The lot fills with music, grills, and coolers. The Mexican-American fan community brings incredible carne asada and street tacos to the parking lot scene.

Gates open (90 minutes before first pitch)

Enter and explore

Walk through the main entrance past the Big A sign. Head to center field to see the rocks and waterfall display up close.

60 minutes before first pitch

Watch batting practice

The outfield seats offer good BP views. The rocks in center field make a fun backdrop for photos.

30 minutes before first pitch

Grab SoCal food

Fish tacos, carne asada fries, and helmet nachos are the moves. The food program reflects Anaheim's SoCal and Mexican food culture.

First pitch

Play ball

Nine innings under the Southern California sun (or stars for evening games). The Rally Monkey appears on the video board when the Angels need a comeback.

7th inning stretch

Stretch under the SoCal sky

The crowd sings 'Take Me Out to the Ball Game' under one of the most consistently perfect baseball skies in America.

Post-game

Exit to the lot

The massive lot means you're probably walking 5-10 minutes to your car. I-5 traffic is the main post-game challenge.
