Diablo Stadium renovations debut!
Tempe's Diablo Stadium, the spring training home of the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, debuted its new look at a charity game on Thursday after undergoing a 10-month renovation.
The $20 million facelift began last spring after the city of Tempe struck a deal to keep the Angels at Diablo Stadium until 2025.
One of the biggest changes the facility made was seating. The stadium will now have plastic seating, backs and cup holders for the first time.
Other changes included a new and expanded concession stand and an expanded party deck. The backstop will no longer contain poles, so there will be nothing obstructing fans' views, and the stadium has a new box office.
The new look should bring Diablo up to par with other stadiums that lodge Major League Baseball spring-training programs, Ripley said.
