History
Edison International Field has been the home of the Anaheim Angels since their move from Los Angeles. In 1964, ground was broken for Anaheim Stadium and in 1966, the newly-renamed California Angels moved into their new home.
In 1996, the City of Anaheim and the Walt Disney Corporation, owners of the Angels, agreed to a new deal that would keep the Angels in Anaheim until 2018. As part of the deal, the stadium would undergo an extensive renovation and expansion into a baseball-only facility.
In 1997, the Angels officially changed their name to the Anaheim Angels. The same year, a sponsorship deal was created with Edison International, giving them the naming rights over the stadium for 20 years.
The field was host to a Major League Baseball All-Star Game in 1967 and 1989 and hosted the World Series in 2002.
