One of the older MLB ballparks and unfortunately not in a "retro cool" old way. Still, an…read moreenjoyable place to see a game, far more affordable than other stadiums in the region. Background Attended a weekday evening game with the White Sox visiting. Sat on lower-deck first base side. Plenty of Sox fans in attendance, many dressed on Marukami garb. (Unfortunately he didn't start but was a late inning replacement.) Trout homered, Angels soared, 4-3. Stadium The walk into the ballpark is among the ugliest, maybe now THE ugliest in baseball. An old park surrounded first by highways, then by vast cement parking lots. Truly, the Angels and city of Anaheim need to get their collective... budgets... together and finally convert this acreage into an area visitors will enjoy and not... look away from. The stadium itself is OK, especially for a vintage 60-year old field. Good sight lines throughout, no obstructed view seats. Nothing exciting about the outfield view although the faux-stone landscape and fountain in central field is somewhat scenic. Lots of fireworks - for starting lineups, Angel runs, and a couple nifty flamethrowers added in for home runs. The steps down from the 200 level to our seats were steep, a bit difficult to navigate while holding food, sodas and assorted gear. (My wife says this is an "old man" comment, I prefer the term "senior gentleman" but OK, guilty I guess). Food Hot dogs were good, especially the kielbasa, although the bun disintegrated upon pickup. Otherwise, pretty standard fare. Anything Unusual I caught a ball, with a single bare hand! But then bobbled it and a nearby fan with a glove swiped it. But he already had a ball so he gave it back! I gave the ball to a youth sitting next us, except another child also wanted it and started crying, then stared daggers at me for the rest of the game. Sometimes, there's no winning. Summary Well worth a respite from the mouse-eared havoc next door. Tickets are easy to come by, fun place for a family break. This is my 100th Yelp review!!!

First time watching a baseball game at Angel Stadium. Came to watch my White Sox play the home…read moreAngels on a Wednesday afternoon, and the experience was really great...well except for the final score. Expected the ticket prices on the resale market for 2 sub 0.500 (i.e. not good) teams playing during a weekday day affair to be very low, and I wasn't wrong. It was low enough that I upgraded to first level seating (Row G) on the visitor/first base side, so my wife and I could see home plate clearly and sit near other Sox fans. Getting here by mass transit from DTLB is at least a 2 hour journey (taking only trains would mean going to Union Station and taking Metrolink down to Anaheim...useful for folks who live near Dodger Stadium, interestingly enough). So we drove, getting there about 1 hour before first pitch. We took the Douglas Road entrance (northeast of the stadium), and paid $25 by credit card. We got a parking spot really close to the parking entrance: a bit of a walk to the stadium but easy for a quick getaway onto the nearby Orange (57) freeway. One has to have the MLB ticket app on their phone, as paper tickets are no longer accepted (we used tickpick as our resell provider...seems to be a bit cheaper than competitors like Stubhub and ticketmaster). First stop was security (like most sporting events, small purses and clear backpacks are allowed in). Then needed to get the tickets scanned. Next was finding Section 128, row G. This lower section was in direct sunlight for the entire game, except for maybe row Z. The next section up are the 200's and those seats are shaded by the overhang. We told ourselves if the sun got too hot, we would just move back since there were so many open seats. Had to use the bathroom between the 1st and 2nd inning and found them to be pretty clean. Some other observations: - If you come early to the game, visiting players will sign your memorabilia (need to provide your own permanent marker). This happens right in front near section 128, through a gap in the protective netting. - Players and other employees are constantly throwing used baseballs into the stands. One clear opportunity is when the last out of the top of the inning finishes, the last used ball will be thrown into the stands as the player enters the visitor's dugout. Having a baseball glove is 'hand'y , though we saw some spectators make some great bare-handed catches. - there are 5 different Pokemon gyms throughout the stadium, all with the exact same name: 'Angel Stadium' - beer and food vendors are constantly through the crowd, hawking. Looked like they only accept credit cards. - Beer sales is supposed to stop after the 7th inning stretch. - The player I most wanted to see played 1st base for the Sox, but he (Murakami) had 4 strikeouts including when the bases were loaded in the 7th. The rest of the Sox played poorly as well, losing to the now 15-23 Angels, 2-8. It wasn't a particularly well played game, with the main highlight being shown on the Web, where our second baseman dropped a pop-up because the sun was in his eyes. The best play was made by an Angels pitcher on a bunt-for-hit, bare-handing a dribbler to first on a bang-bang play. And the best discussion my wife and I had was if the clear highlights at the end of Murakami's haircut was dyed, or bleaching from the sun. It was that sort of game for Sox fans.

Honda Center (aka The Pond) is great! In the heart of Orange County near major freeways so it's so…read moreeasy to get to. This year they are putting in tons of money to renovate the Honda Center and it's looking great! The restaurants are faster now that there is an option to mobile order. They're also adding in new cool restaurants and painting a lot of the inside. They are also adding in a bar where you can enjoy a drink while watching the game. The only bummer is how annoyingly and ear shatteringly loud it is inside. They have definitely upped the volume on microphones and music inside. People from all ages (babies, toddlers, 30s to elders) are wearing noise cancelling headphones because of how awfully loud it is inside. My whole family and I bought noice cancelling headphones for the games, and it's still loud. Please turn down the volume a bit!

If you are looking for God, he is here. I have been attending for 4 years and every time I felt…read moreGod's presence at River arena. Pastor Dante is down to earth and tells it like it is. His sermons are about real life, your day to day walk with Jesus, and the grace of God. He sprinkles in a lot of humor and he isn't scared to talk about taboo subjects, especially in our Hispanic culture where it is hidden or frowned upon. I always see how busy he is with so many projects but still humble with his congregation. I really love the church. When I first came to this church I was really broken over many bad situations in my life. Slowly I gave my control to God and just as slowly (maybe slower) because God is funny sometimes, but I got a second chance at life. Pastor Dante and all his staff are not pushovers and allow members to stand on their own feet. No one here is spoon fed but they are really interested in your walk with Jesus. There are no harsh words or condemnation coming down on you but things do get revealed to you through the word of God. Personally I appreciate Pastor Danny. He always says hi, he has kind words for me, asks me how I liked the service and truly cares. I see him interact with everyone and it's really nice to be surrounded by caring brothers and sisters here. His wife sings during worship at River and i really believe in her lifelong walk with Jesus, she is a good role model for any woman or christian alike. It is easy to see flaws or find issues with anything in life, Pastor Dante is ridiculed a lot online but if you are looking for a church - anyone is welcome here. Pastor Dante believes that our church is like a hospital for the soul, he says some members are on IVs, others are taking medicine and some are about to get downgraded to another unit.. We congregate here to recognize that Jesus has already healed us and we walk together until we are with him forever.

I hate leaving bad reviews but I wish someone warned me before coming Here…read more It literally felt like a cult :( A Ted talk and concert. The pastor is an amazing speaker, but the Bible was never opened and he didn't quote any scripture. He spoke well but I felt very uneasy during the service. I love everyone who lead people closer to God but I dislike and can't agree with the way they run its service. It just wasn't for me. Ps They had a merch store and inside they had figurines of the pastor for sale.... like what???? I knew for sure this wasn't a house of God.

The Arena is where dreams are announced... and where wallets go to die…read more If you're coming here for D23 Expo (Disney's once-every-two-years fan mega-event), then welcome to the beating heart of Disney nerdom. The Anaheim Convention Center Arena has seen it all: park announcements, movie reveals, surprise celebrity appearances, and 7,000 people screaming at the unveiling of a new logo. The Anaheim Convention Center opened in 1967 -- the same year Walt Disney's EPCOT film was still fresh in everyone's mind -- as a way to handle big events just across the street from Disneyland. Over the decades it's expanded into the largest convention center on the West Coast. The Arena itself once hosted pro sports and concerts before becoming the go-to stage for mega-panels, keynote presentations, and all things Disney fan service. The Arena is massive and electric during D23 -- the energy feels like Comic-Con with mouse ears. The seating's comfortable enough, the acoustics are solid, and the production value is pure Disney: lights, sound, video screens the size of apartment buildings. You'll laugh, cry, and maybe even mortgage your house for exclusive merch. The food options leave a lot to be desired. Think overpriced convention center staples: pizza slices, soggy nachos, sad sandwiches, and bottled water priced like it's Evian filtered through Tinker Bell's wings. If you don't plan ahead, you'll end up eating a $15 hot dog while dreaming about Trader Sam's. The Arena at Anaheim Convention Center is where Disney makes magic real -- even if the food is criminal. Come prepared, bring snacks, and know that what happens here shapes the future of Disney parks, movies, and fandom. It's history in the making... with nachos you'll regret.

I often accompany her to Ducks games and today was the first time this season. We sit near a mother (90-something) and son (60-something) who are there every game. The son has a huge bellowing voice to yell "Let's Go Ducks!!" No doubt the players can hear him from the ice rink. The Honda Center is full of adrenaline and pep and it's entertaining to watch people as much as it is to watch the game! The new parking structure is really nice! I didn't understand why my friend insisted on parking backwards but then it totally made sense as we left just now because it's much easier to join the line of departing cars if you're driving forward. ALSO, if someone kind makes room for you in the line. Thank you, kind person! Back to the Honda Center--we got some chicken tenders and curly fries for $15 for dinner because we were hungry after work. (Usually we just get Dole whip soft serve pineapple (yum))! Generous portions of real chicken meat in three huge tenders which were well cooked and seasoned, on a mountain of curly fries--very satisfying! You grab your own condiments to go, so I got ranch and ketchup. The Ducks played very well and it was fun sitting next to a 5-year-old boy and his dad--the boy was enraptured with the game, shouting things like "Ducks, do better!" To which his dad replied, "well, we ARE winning". I went to my first Ducks game back in 1996, 30 years ago when Paul Kariya was playing. It's still a super fun team to watch live!! I'm sure we'll be back!

We fell lower but went up to 18th. Hopefully we can at least try to get to 15 or 12 or 10th place before the season ends. Anyways ducks had a huge comeback this season and here's pictures from the 2024 season home opener. Go ducks!

Honestly the food was so-so. It's just the experience to be able to eat a variety of stadium food ( see menu pic) in one seating while watching the game was pretty cool. It was really chilly during the game, so it helps to just eat at the restaurant instead of sitting outside at our actual seats. You can always pay and add entree food to your menu but they do have a lot of food in the buffet ($60/pp) The thing is there were 3 of us, so we left $200 and rest was card with over 20% of tip. Come to find out days later, they charged us the full amount again on one of our friends card. So that really left a sour taste in our mouth. Never again!
