Things to do Around Angels Stadium

Let’s be honest, in the heart of Anaheim, California there are a plethora of options and things to do both before and after an Angels game.  Whether you’re getting to Angels Stadium by foot, taxi, or the subway, you’ll have plenty of options for food, drink, and entertainment.

• Disney California Adventure – Disney California Adventure, or commonly referred to as California Adventure or by its acronym of DCA, is a theme park located at the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, California. Owned and operated by The Walt Disney Company, it is a 72-acre theme park which celebrates the history and culture of California. Opened in 2001, the park hosts over 9.9 million guests per year, making it the 12th most visited theme park in the world.

• Anaheim Packing District – the Anaheim Packing District is a mere 2.2 miles away from Angels Stadium and offers visitors and guests a plethora of upscale food and drink options. Built in a renovated, historic 1919 citrus-packing house, the Anaheim Packing District is one of the best attractions in all of Anaheim and is a great place to head to before the start of the Angels game.

General Weather Conditions in Anaheim, California

Once you’ve found a list of things to do both before and after the Angels game, it is important to plan your outfit.  However, doing so requires understanding the general weather conditions and climate in Anaheim and near Angels Stadium.

Generally, Anaheim, being in the western portion of the country, has a dry subtropical climate.  And although the temperatures do dip into the lower 50’s between December through February, those are months that the MLB is offseason.

During the MLB season, and for when the Angels play at their home stadium, that is between the months of April through October, the weather generally remains within a low of 55-degrees to a high of 84-degrees. 

Of course, these conditions can fluctuate, but generally the weather in Anaheim remains warm and generally comfortable.  As one of the most popular tourist destinations in the United States, the general climate and weather in Anaheim is warm and relatively nice.

Preparing for a Los Angeles Angels Game

Due to the fluctuations in weather in Anaheim, you should prepare yourself for hotter and slightly cooler conditions.  Although the temperature does drop a bit as the sunsets, with the longer summer days, you may still feel the warmth and tinge of the sun against your skin as the game starts.

As such, it is always recommended to apply sunscreen before heading out to a game and when in the sun for prolonged periods of time.  Sunscreen is one of the best forms of protection against the sun’s harmful UV rays. 

In addition to reducing the risk of sunburn, sunscreen can dramatically reduce your risk of skin cancer.  Statistics have shown that by the age of 70, one in five Americans will develop skin cancer.  However, you can lower your risk by using sunscreen with a minimum rating of SPF 30 or higher when you are planning on being out in the sun for prolonged periods of time.

Similarly, be sure to drink copious amounts of hydrating liquids, including water and sports drinks to help against the heat.  These drinks will also help to keep you hydrated and will ensure that you remain active and awake during the game.

However, as Anaheim does experience some colder conditions, including the random rain shower, you should also prepare for those weather conditions. 

Bringing an umbrella with you to the game can help or you may opt for a rain jacket.  Similarly, many visitors to Angels Stadium will don a plastic, reusable raincoat.

A Baseball Cap

One of the best, and easiest, pieces of clothing to wear to the Angels game is none other than a baseball cap.  Not only will a baseball cap help you to avoid the beating sun on your forehead and in your eyes, but most baseball caps feature the logo of the team you are rooting for.

Personally, we love the New Era Authentic Angels Black Neo 39THIRTY Flex Hat. A very modern and cool take on the classic Angels logo, this hat and cap features an all-black background with the Angels logo prominently displayed in a rather off-white style.

However, if you’re looking for a more classic Angels cap, we highly recommend sticking with the New Era Los Angeles Angels 39THIRTY Flex Hat one. Almost completely all-red, the cap is a classic Angels one and one that will allow you to quickly showcase your Angels fandom and loyalty to the team.

Los Angeles Angels T-Shirt or Jersey

When it comes to upper wear, honestly the best options when going to a baseball game are to rep the team’s jerseys or a t-shirt with their logo.  Both options are easy and generally affordable and will also allow you to showcase your team fandom.

However, we personally have never been fans of wearing team jerseys due to their relative tightness around the arms.  In addition, team jerseys can be quite costly, sometimes coming to several hundreds of dollars.  Rather, we generally opt for a short or long-sleeved shirt with the team logo, name, or phrase.

When it comes to choosing a shirt to wear to the Angels game, we personally prefer a short-sleeved shirt.  Again, while the weather can drop in Anaheim, it is generally warmer and wearing heavier or longer-sleeved shirts can become uncomfortable.

We love the MLB Imprint Match Team T-Shirt for its simplicity. Featuring the Los Angeles Angels logo prominently, this t-shirt showcases your fandom for the team and does so efficiently and without too much additional text or fluff.

Alternatively, if you’re looking for a Los Angeles Angels t-shirt with a bit more style, the Vintage Angel’s Baseball Heart with Halo V-Neck T-Shirt does the job perfectly.

In a v-neck design, the shirt features a baseball in the shape of a heart with the angel halo overhead. Simple yet striking, we love this shirt for its lack of text and words on the front.

Joggers or Athletic Pants

Interestingly enough, we typically opt to go for a pair of joggers or athletic pants when going to a Angels game.  The reason is that while the weather may be warmer, rain showers can occur at almost any time. And we’re really not fans of wearing wet jeans.

However, we generally like to go for comfort over style, especially while at the ballgame.  And if the weather will be warm and hot, you don’t want to feel sweaty and uncomfortable throughout the duration of the game. 

Rather, upon confirming that the weather will remain warm and sunny, opting for shorts or pants which are a bit loose and will allow your legs to breathe and not feel enclosed is a great option.

By far our favorite joggers are from Vuori.  A bit more expensive than other options, these joggers are insanely comfortable.  In fact, you’ll feel like you’re wearing nothing at all with them on.  Vuori makes great joggers for both men and women and with a plethora of color options, you’ll be able to find the perfect ones to fit with your Angels gear. 

Alternatively, you may want to look into Lululemon joggers for the game.  Breathable and comfortable, Lululemon joggers provide sufficient space and superior materials to make a trek to the ballgame comfortable and easy.

Sunglasses

Lastly, if you are planning on attending a Los Angeles Angels game set for the middle of the day, it may be worthwhile to bring along a pair of sunglasses.  With the sun directly overhead, it may be difficult to view what is happening on the field without sunglasses.

Further, sunglasses should be able to help you avoid squinting and causing strain to your eyes.  And while you could opt for a pair of smart glasses, you really don’t have to and a simple pair should suffice for the day.   

And while there are plenty of sunglass options, we like to keep it simple and classy.  A pair of aviators always gets the job done and looks stylish in the process.
