Could the Angels lose their Angel Stadium lease? New state audit to probe land deal

What if — and this is a very big if — the Angels found themselves without a place to play beyond this season?

The state auditor is set to launch an investigation into the failed Angel Stadium sale and whether the Angels have complied with the current stadium lease, two state legislators announced Wednesday.

The audit was requested by Sen. Tom Umberg (D-Santa Ana) and Assemblyman Avelino Valencia (D-Anaheim). Valencia formerly served on the Anaheim City Council.

“Our audit request will ensure we examine any actions in the past and how they can inform and bind future decision making,” Umberg said in a statement.
