EARLY REVIEWERS GET A CHARGE OUT OF NEW EDISON FIELD

3.30.1998

          Edison International Field, the Angels' newly renovated
     ballpark, received positive reviews after its debut Friday.
     In L.A., J.A. Adande wrote, "The good news is there was
     plenty that needed to be changed.  Anaheim Stadium used to be
     the blandest place around. ... Now, it evokes words like
     'cozy'" (L.A. TIMES, 3/28).  In Orange County, Steve Bisheff
     called Edison Field "striking. ... The Big E should become to
     baseball what The Pond already is to hockey.  A place that
     makes you want to come back" (ORANGE COUNTY REGISTER, 3/28). 
     Mark Emmons wrote that added to Edison Field "are some very
     Disney touches, most notably the rock formation beyond the
     left-center outfield wall that resembles something straight
     from 'The Lion King'" (ORANGE COUNTY REGISTER, 3/28).
