California Audit Critiques Anaheim Angels Stadium Lease
A recent audit by the California State Auditor has revealed significant shortcomings in the lease agreement between the City of Anaheim and the Los Angeles Angels regarding Angel Stadium maintenance and revenue-sharing terms. Although the audit confirmed that the Angels have upheld their obligations under the lease, it criticized the lack of clear inspection rights and vague language in the agreement, which dates back to 1996. State Senator Tom Umberg emphasized the need for more detailed inspections, citing public safety concerns and the impact of climate change on the aging facility. The audit also highlighted financial discrepancies, noting that the city has only received $415,000 from ticket sales over the past 28 years and criticized the team's claims regarding a shared repairs fund. The city manager has agreed with the auditor's recommendation to pursue access for necessary inspections, potentially through legal action if negotiations fail. Meanwhile, former Anaheim Mayor Harry Sidhu is facing sentencing for corruption related to past stadium negotiation dealings, which has contributed to the current scrutiny of the lease.
