Getting to Angel Stadium

Angel Stadium is just off the 57 freeway in Anaheim, surrounded by its own parking lot, and no rail line stops at a gate. If you would rather not drive, the train to ARTIC works from anywhere along Metrolink’s Orange County Line or Amtrak’s Pacific Surfliner, and rideshare drops you at the stadium.

Driving and parking

If you’re driving, pay for parking at the lot, since the Angels charge $2 more for parking bought online. The lots take debit and credit cards and Apple or Android Pay. You can find more about parking prices, the lot entrances, when the lot opens, and the Big A Lot tailgating rule in our First-Timer’s Guide section.

If you’d rather have a spot set before you leave home, you can reserve one on SpotHero. Driving makes the most sense for a group splitting one parking fee. Expect a slow exit from the lot after the game, since most of the crowd leaves the same lot at once.

The train to ARTIC

ARTIC, the Anaheim Regional Transportation Intermodal Center, is Anaheim’s regional transit hub, about a 15-minute walk from the stadium. It’s served by Metrolink’s Orange County Line (Southern California’s regional commuter rail) and Amtrak’s Pacific Surfliner. If you’re coming from along either line, a train to ARTIC plus the walk in skips the parking fee and the slow exit from the lot.

On weekdays, the last train toward Los Angeles on the Metrolink timetable leaves Anaheim before a night game ends, so plan how you will get home before you take the train in. For a weekend game, check Metrolink’s weekend schedule for your date.

For the Surfliner, the Angels point fans to pacificsurfliner.com/sports for late-night and weekend service.

Rideshare

Uber and Lyft drop-offs come in through Gene Autry Way. After the game, the pickup zone is in the parking lot near Gate 1, toward left field, so look for the red rideshare light pole. Rideshare saves you paying for parking, but your pickup is in the same lot everyone else is driving out of.

OCTA bus

OCTA, the Orange County Transportation Authority, runs local bus service in the area. For most visitors coming from outside the county, the train to ARTIC or a rideshare is simpler.

Getting here from the airport

Angel Stadium is a drive from John Wayne Airport (SNA), Orange County’s airport, so rent a car when you land. The airport has no train station, and the one bus the airport lists, OCTA Route 76, runs between the airport and Huntington Beach. You can find more about parking rates and when the lot opens in our Park rules, gate times, and parking section.

Rideshare and taxi. At SNA, Uber and Lyft pick up on the top levels of parking structures A2 and B2, and on the upper level of the Terminal C parking structure, next to the ticketing area. Taxis wait at the Ground Transportation Center on the Arrival (lower) Level, between Terminals A and B, and near Column 14 on the Arrival Level at Terminal C.

Heading back after a night game. For a rideshare back to SNA, the pickup zone is in the stadium parking lot near Gate 1, toward left field. The Angels say to look for the red rideshare light pole.

Los Angeles International (LAX) has a transit route to the stadium. The LAX FlyAway bus runs to Union Station East, on the Patsaouras Transit Plaza. A one-way ride is as low as $12.75. From Union Station, a Metrolink Orange County Line train or an Amtrak Pacific Surfliner takes you to Anaheim’s ARTIC station, about a 15-minute walk from the stadium. The week of your trip, look at Metrolink’s advisories page for planned service changes.

After a night game, take a rideshare back to LAX. On weekdays, Metrolink’s last train of the evening toward Los Angeles leaves Anaheim before the game ends, according to its timetable.

Rideshares and taxis at LAX pick up at the LAX-it lot next to Terminal 1. You can walk there, or take the free LAX-it shuttle from the green signs outside baggage claim.

Whichever airport you fly into, use a rental car or a rideshare to get back after a night game.

Luggage

The Angels’ security page says, “There are no bag storage facilities outside of Angel Stadium. Bags that do not meet our size guidelines or refuse to be searched cannot be stored or watched by Angel Stadium staff.”

You can carry in a purse or bag up to 12 by 12 inches with a single zipper or flap, a clear plastic or vinyl bag up to 12.75 by 6.5 by 12.75 inches, and medically necessary items, including diaper bags. Backpacks are not allowed, and the Angels say every other bag has to go back to your car, which rules out a suitcase. You can find the rest of the entry rules in our Park rules, gate times, and parking section.

If you rented a car, leave the suitcase in it during the game. Without a car, take it to your hotel first, and call ahead if you land early to ask whether the hotel can keep it until you check in.

Gates and getting in

From ARTIC or the rideshare drop-off, any of the six gates will get you in. Gates open 90 minutes before first pitch, or 60 minutes before a 1 p.m. start. You can find more about the gates, the bag rule, and mobile tickets in our First-Timer’s Guide section.

Accessibility

Wheelchair, semi-ambulatory, and companion tickets are available throughout the ballpark, and the Angels’ accessibility guide on mlb.com/angels covers accessible parking and entry.
