CaliforniaAnaheim stadium sale materials would use the Anaheim Angels name
If Anaheim receives a land-disposal exemption for a sale or lease of Angel Stadium to the Los Angeles Angels, related materials must use the name Anaheim Angels unless both sides agree otherwise.
What it does
If Anaheim receives an exemption to sell or lease Angel Stadium to the Los Angeles Angels, materials must call the team the Anaheim Angels. The Legislature intends an exception if Anaheim and the team agree on their affiliation.
Argument forCalling the team the Anaheim Angels in stadium sale or lease materials could help keep the team’s name tied to Anaheim, unless both sides agree otherwise.
Argument againstThe naming rule could limit Anaheim’s ability to negotiate stadium sale or lease materials if the team does not agree to the affiliation.
More detail
If the City of Anaheim receives the specified land-disposal exemption, materials must call the team the Anaheim Angels. This applies to materials about disposing of surplus land through the sale or lease of Angel Stadium to the Major League Baseball team known as the Los Angeles Angels. The requirement does not apply if Anaheim reaches an agreement with the team about its affiliation, as the Legislature intends. The naming requirement applies when the specified exemption is granted; the text gives no separate start or end date.
