Opening Day in baseball is a great tradition in our country. In fact, it might be as close as our country gets to an unofficial national holiday. It's not unusual for people to take the day off of work to watch the local team's Opening Day game. The Angels begin the season in Seattle, but you can still take the day off work to watch the team's first game. If you need a place to watch the first game of the season for the Angels, try these places.
