See An Angels Baseball Game in Anaheim

There has been a lot of controversy in recent years about some name changes for the home baseball team of Orange County (The Angels).  Once the California Angels, then the Anaheim Angels, then the Los Angeles Angels, now I think they're just the Los Angeles Angels, the one thing they can't argue is that the baseball team is not from LA, they're from Orange County.

If you're a baseball fan in Orange County, Angels Stadium is a great stadium to see a game.  They gave the stadium a major overhaul in recent years, and are still updating things regularly.  Even if you're not a fan, it's still a fun day or night event, come out and see the Angels play, grab a hot dog, some soda or beer, maybe a nachos, and enjoy yourself while supporting the local OC baseball team!

Monster Jam - Angel Stadium in Anaheim

Monster Jam comes to Orange County several times a year at Angel Stadium in Anaheim.  The show is good fun, worth seeing, especially if you've never seen it before.  They usually also throw in another event like a destruction derby, and or quad racing.  The event is loud, the trucks are extremely powerful and it's very clear when you're seeing how fast they go, how high they jump, and how much sound they put off.

Long Beach Grand Prix

Every year in April, Long Beach plays host to the Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach.  The event lasts through the weekend and is good fun.  In addition to the main race they generally feature a celebrity race and a drifting race.  I know Long Beach is technically not Orange County, but it's our close neighbor, and at less than 30 minutes from most or the county it's no big deal to head North for a day or a weekend.  Beware, tickets to the Long Beach Grand Prix are not cheap, especially if you want a reserved seat.  Also consider the parking expenses when budgeting your trip.
