Angel Stadium Tour

Today we went to Angel Stadium for a tour. When I was looking for places to go while Blake was off track, I found out online that stadiums give behind the scene tours. Even though we are Dodger fans it is a lot cheaper to for the Angel stadium tours, so we thought we would give it a try. Blake brought his friend Cason to come along with us. In front of the stadium the bricks are made into a baseball field which is the same size as the major league infield. The kids had fun playing pretend baseball before our tour.

Our group waiting for our tour. It ended up being our family and one other guy in our group, so it was nice not have tons of people on the tour with us.

The kids looking at all the players who started on opening day. They have them by each position by the field in front of the stadium.

Here we are walking from the locker room to the field.


Right before you go into the dugout they have a punching bag for players who have a bad temper. The kids like punching it.


The field from the dugout.


Cason, Blake and Logan in the dugout looking over the field.


Logan looking at the field. He kept asking where the Dodgers were. When we would tell him we were at Angel stadium he would say, "No the Dodgers!"


The boys on the Angel bench.


Sadie with her Angel shirt. This was actually given to her by Cason's family at my baby shower. They are huge Angel fans and we are Dodger fans, so we always joke around with each other about our teams.

Here we are in the announcer and broadcaster booth. The boys are pretending to announce a game.



View from the announcer's booth. We had a good time, our kids did pretty good even though it is more for older people. Since it is still considered off season they were fixing up the stadium and didn't have a lot of the rooms set up yet. Like the World Series trophy wasn't out on display, and the locker room wasn't set up how it is during the year. If you are a baseball fan I would recommend it without kids. After the tour was over we went to the Angel store and bought the kids all mini baseball bats. I think that was the highlight for them.
