Angel Stadium (#26)

Rockies vs. Angels
Angels win 4-2


Angel Stadium has many good attributes for the fan.  It's an older stadium that was refurbished in the late 90's that turned out great.  There are tons of food choices, I enjoyed a "Rally Brat."  There are also some games for kids to play along the concourse.  This adds to the good atmosphere.  Since Angel Stadium originally opened in the 60's, it didn't have the open concourse or angled seating that more modern stadiums have.  Our seats along the left field line faced center field.  However the sea of red created by the fans made for a good night of baseball.


The Angels came out of the gate strong with a Grand Slam by Hideki Matsui, then decided the offense was done for the night.  Fortunately for them, Saunders was pitching well and Colorado only managed two runs on the evening.  The game ended with Howard Kendrick climbing the ladder to snag a line drive and doubling off Melvin Mora to end the game.
