The city is anticipating a pair of lawsuits from the team regarding a planned fire station in the Angel Stadium parking lot. Angels’ attorney Allan Abshez haspushed back, saying the city lacks the authority to do so.

Abshez added that if the city does not cancel the contract for the station within 30 days, the team would consider Anaheim in default of its stadium lease and work to cancel its contract with the city.

Anaheim政府想要在天使球場的停車場蓋消防局

對此天使球團律師Allan Abshez表示政府沒有權利這樣做

並說如果30天內不取消這計畫，球團會視政府違反雙方的租約規定

直接取消雙方合約(目前租約到2038年)

The Angels’ stadium lease allows the city to develop a portion of the parking lot, but only for the following uses: a football stadium, a youth sports facility, hotels, shops, restaurants, offices and entertainment venues.

“A fire station is not a permitted use,” Abshez wrote.

租約內是有允許政府開發停車場

但只限於

1.美足球場
2.青年體育設施
3.飯店、商店、餐廳、辦公室、娛樂場館

所以天使認為蓋消防局是違規的

The city owns the stadium and surrounding area — a fact that has caused ongoing legal tangles throughout the year.

In 2019, the city agreed to sell Angel Stadium for $320 million as part of a 151-acre property to a company controlled by team owner Arte Moreno. The city was to receive $150 million in cash.

Moreno’s company was to use $170 million in development credits to include affordable housing and parks as part of a development that would create homes, retail, restaurants, office space, and hotels.

The deal fell apart amid allegations that then-mayor Harry Sidhu passed confidential information to the team on multiple occasions. Sidhu resigned as mayor effective May 24, 2022.
Moreno is now in the process of selling the team.

天使老闆Arte Moreno一直想把天使球場以及周圍土地買下來

並曾一度在2019和政府談好以3.2億美金的價格收購

但後來市長接受貪腐調查，最終破局
