One’s weakness is a strength for the others. This sums up the current scenario between the LA Angels, Anaheim city, and Long Beach city. Recently, the Anaheim City Council sealed a new stadium deal with the LA Angels, only to be collapsed within 24 hours because of an alleged scandal.

However, the Long Beach city council has come as a helping hand to the LA Angels. Long Beach has offered the LA Angels to re-start the negotiations for a new stadium in the city.

Notably, the LA Angels’ current lease in Anaheim will expire in 2029, with an option to extend until 2038. The current site in Anaheim is around 150 acres, but given the recent alleged scandal by Anaheim Mayor, the deal is in real danger.

Will the LA Angels accept the proposal of Long Beach?

Not to forget that the Angels and Long Beach had negotiations over a waterfront stadium and entertainment complex on a 55-acre site in 2019. But because of some disagreements, the Angels and Long Beach did not agree on the deal.

And now when the Angels Per Yahoo.com, the Angels owner Arte Moreno had a deal to purchase their current stadium for a whopping price of $320 million. But the recent reports suggest the deal has collapsed.

Taking this as an opportunity, Long Beach city issued a statement and invited the Angels to continue the three years old negotiations.
