The Los Angeles Angels opted out of their stadium lease with the city of Anaheim on Tuesday, throwing the status of their home since 1966 into limbo.

"As we look to the future, we need the ability to continue to deliver a high-quality fan experience beyond what the original lease allows," Angels president John Carpino said in a statement. "It is important that we look at all our options and how we can best serve our fans now and in the future."

Talks broke off between the Angels and Anaheim in 2014, and the team looked for other sites for a new ballpark, but nothing has come together.
