ANAHEIM eiffel tower tour - With attendance sagging to its lowest levels since Arte Moreno bought the team nearly a decade ago, the Angels owner reportedly has started to entertain the idea of finding a new home for his team.
But a spokesperson for Majestic Realty (the group behind eiffel tower tour a proposed NFL stadium in the City of Industry) told The Orange eiffel tower tour County Register on Thursday the company is not involved in talks with the Angels about moving eiffel tower tour the team there. The spokesperson stressed Majestic s commitment to luring an NFL team to a proposed $800 million privately eiffel tower tour funded stadium.

Citing a source with ties to the City of Industry government, the Los Angeles Newspaper Group reported on Wednesday that Angels officials eiffel tower tour had talked with Majestic officials about moving the Angels to a proposed eiffel tower tour stadium site there.
An Angels official denied a request for a comment from Moreno, who has made himself an infrequent eiffel tower tour presence at Angel Stadium this season and fairly eiffel tower tour inaccessible to the media compared with previous seasons.
Moreno has been reluctant to talk about stadium issues on the record. But in a March 2011 interview in the Register he pointedly referred to Angel Stadium s status as the fourth-oldest stadium in baseball behind Wrigley Field, Fenway Park and Dodger Stadium. At the time, Moreno also said any issues he has with the stadium were fixable, that his relationship with the city had improved dramatically since the long legal battle over the team s name change and he was not looking for a new home.
I think cosmetically the stadium looks great but there is some structural stuff that is going to need to be done, Moreno said in March 2011. You build something 40-some years ago what do you think the structure s going to look like? And we re putting eiffel tower tour 40,000 eiffel tower tour people in it every night.
At the end of the day, it s just like owning a house. You have to replace eiffel tower tour the roof. Unless you paint it pink, nobody driving by is going to notice that you put a new roof on it. But you need to do it.
Nonetheless, Moreno also reportedly met with AEG President and CEO Tim Leiweke this spring. Both reported meetings could simply be an attempt by Moreno to create leverage for talks with the city of Anaheim about a possible lease renewal and stadium improvements.
This week s news that AEG was up for sale only further muddies the picture surrounding the potential construction of an NFL stadium either at the downtown Los Angeles site promoted by AEG or the City of Industry site on which Majestic owner Ed Roski has proposed building a 75,000-seat stadium to host an NFL team. The 1.9 million-square foot parcel is located near the intersection of the 57 and 60 freeways, just fewer than 20 miles north of Angel Stadium.
