Consistent with many major-league sports stadiums built in the 1960s, it is located in a suburban area, though one that is host to major tourist attractions. The field dimensions (333 feet instead of 347 or 350, for example) were derived from a scientific study conducted by the Angels.

An American football field, if the end zones are omitted, is 300 feet long. This reduces its area to 48,000 square feet, which is 1.1 acres. An acre is defined as an area of 43,560 square feet. The two end zones in football are 10 yards, or 30 feet long. Centered on the length of the field, on either side, are the coaching boxes and team areas. The coaching boxes are 6 feet from the edge of the field, 6 feet wide and 120 feet long.
