The Angels and the city of Anaheim agreed Monday to settle a two-year-old dispute, providing the team with $2.75 million in financial relief while granting the city the right to build a fire station on the Angel Stadium property.
The resolution announced Monday has no impact on the Angels’ long-term future at Angel Stadium, where the team’s lease expires in 2029. In a statement, the city said that issue was not raised during talks to settle the dispute and there are “no long-term talks underway now.”
In 2022, after the FBI disclosed allegations of corruption against then-mayor Harry Sidhu, the Anaheim City Council killed the deal in which Angels owner Arte Moreno and his company would have bought the stadium property, renovated or replaced the ballpark, and surrounded it with a village of homes, shops, restaurants, offices and hotels.
