Going to my first game at Angel's Stadium. I'm fully aware that Noble is right across the street, but I'm not traveling with beer folks. What can expect inside in the stadium beerwise?
Draft Pick by Gate 2 has 12 taps (Stone, St. Archers, Golden Road, Hangar 24, Rough Draft, Firestone, etc..). $12.75 for a 24oz. Also several Goose Island stands throughout the stadium.
Hangar 24 Betty IPA is pretty much my go too at the Stadium. They have a few carts for just Hangar 24 too. If not your best bet is the Draft Pick mentioned above.
More A's fans have been showing up lately too, so you wont be alone. Wonder why that is . What game you going too?
If you're flying into Orange County you should have no issues fitting Noble in. Have a good time, don't be one of those A'sshole fans please! They sure do get douchy when their team does good, at least the ones that show up here lately and in the early 2000's. I'm sure there's Angel fans that do the same up there. Not sure what games I'm going too yet, I have season tickets. Hard to make all 4. Should be an exciting series just like this weekend was. Going to be a fun ride, Definitely don't want that 1 game playoff crap.
Save $ by parking in Noble's lot and walking over to stadium. I was there last weekend for concert at the Grove. No problems. Plus you don't want to get caught drinking (tailgating) in the stadium parking lot. Thats a no no.
Tailgating Policies: Alcohol consumption in the parking lot is illegal. AMC 7.16.010.010. Tailgating is only permitted in general parking (non-preferred) areas (near the Big A, Orangewood, State College and Douglass general parking areas.) On-site catering is prohibited. No catering trucks allowed! Early entry into the parking lot for tailgating is not permitted. The parking lot opens two-and-one-half (2-1/2) hours prior to the start of the game. My bad. Tailgating is okay, but No Alcohol.
I've been drinking beers in red solo cups since I've turned 21 (8 years) in the parking lot. I go to around 40 games a year. I always hear stories of people getting nailed for it, never had an issue myself. Just don't make a scene about it if you really must. But there is always that risk. They do seem more strict during Yankees, Red Sox, or Dodger games with it though.
Thanks for the info folks. If any of you are going to the game, I'll buy you a beer. Just ask every bearded dude in A's gear "are you Mr. Dave?"
You've been lucky or doing a damn good job concealing it. Red cups is a dead giveaway to me. Anaheim and Irvine police seemed to more of a pain here in the oc. HB would be third. But that said I use a good 16oz paper cup. Not great for holding the coldness in and doesn't do much for bringing out the taste. But it's good enough. That's I why I like to hit up Noble before a game or gig. And after the games or gigs on the weekends.
Arizona Iced Tea bottles - large neck to be able to pour, big enough to fit a 12oz bottle plus foam and label is opaque so you cannot see what is in it.
