Irvine baseball fans don't have to go very far to see Orange County's home team.&amp;nbsp;With Angels Stadium just a few miles to the north, Irvine has a Major League baseball team right in its own backyard. &#xD;
&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&#xD;
In fact, you don't even need a car to get there.&#xD;
&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;img height="389" width="583" border="0" alt="Angels Express" src="http://www.destinationirvine.com/includes/content/images/media/images/Angels-Express-wrapped-car.jpg" /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&#xD;
&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;a href="http://www.octa.net/Metrolink/OCTA-Promotions/Angels-Express/"&gt;Metrolink's Angels Express&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;train takes fans from Irvine right to the ballpark for every evening home game. Whether you live in Irvine or are in town for a few days, taking the train to the Angels game will save you time and money. The round trip tickets are a mere $7, which is a better deal than the $10 parking fee at the stadium. Not to mention the cost of gas or the stress of sitting in stop and go traffic on the freeway.&#xD;
&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&#xD;
Parking is free at the I&lt;a href="http://www.cityofirvine.org/cityhall/pw/irvine_station.asp"&gt;rvine Transportation Center&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;or it's a short shuttle ride from most Irvine hotels.&#xD;
&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;

&lt;p&gt;&#xD;
&amp;nbsp;&#xD;
&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&#xD;
Tickets may be purchased at Metrolink vending machines by selecting &amp;quot;Special Ticket Options.&amp;quot;&#xD;
&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&#xD;
&amp;nbsp;&#xD;
&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&#xD;
&amp;nbsp;&#xD;
&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&#xD;
Just arrive up to 45 minutes before the train departure time to purchase your tickets.&amp;nbsp;&#xD;
&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&#xD;
&amp;nbsp;&#xD;
&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&#xD;
&amp;nbsp;&#xD;
&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&#xD;
It doesn't take long to catch Angels Fever once on board, as most passengers are fellow fans.&#xD;
&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;img height="413" width="550" border="0" alt="Angels Express" src="http://www.destinationirvine.com/includes/content/images/media/images/91.JPG" /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&#xD;
&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&#xD;
The mood is festive yet relaxing as the train cuises past stopped traffic on the freeway. The Irvine train leaves at 6pm and after a 20 minute ride, you arrive relaxed and ready for Angels baseball. &#xD;
&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&#xD;
There's plenty of time to make the short walk from the train station across the parking lot to&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://losangeles.angels.mlb.com/schedule/index.jsp?c_id=ana#y=2013&amp;amp;m=5&amp;amp;calendar=DEFAULT"&gt;Angels Stadium.&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&#xD;

&lt;img height="413" width="550" border="0" alt="Angels xpress" src="http://www.destinationirvine.com/includes/content/images/media/images/15.JPG" /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&#xD;
&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&#xD;
The return trains leave 30 minutes after the final pitch is thrown, even if it's an extra inning game. &#xD;
&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&#xD;
On Friday nights, when the Angels have a weekly fireworks display, the train leaves 45 minutes after game time so you have time to see the show.&#xD;
&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&#xD;
All in all, the Angels Express is a good deal. It's easy. It's inexpensive, and it's a new experience for fans. &#xD;
&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;

There's plenty of time to make the short walk from the train station across the parking lot to&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://losangeles.angels.mlb.com/schedule/index.jsp?c_id=ana#y=2013&amp;amp;m=5&amp;amp;calendar=DEFAULT"&gt;Angels Stadium.&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&#xD;

&lt;p&gt;&#xD;
The return trains leave 30 minutes after the final pitch is thrown, even if it's an extra inning game. &#xD;
&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&#xD;
On Friday nights, when the Angels have a weekly fireworks display, the train leaves 45 minutes after game time so you have time to see the show.&#xD;
&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&#xD;
All in all, the Angels Express is a good deal. It's easy. It's inexpensive, and it's a new experience for fans. &#xD;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;&#xD;
Irvine baseball fans don't have to go very far to see Orange County's home team.&amp;nbsp;With Angels Stadium just a few miles to the north, Irvine has a Major League baseball team right in its own backyard. &#xD;
&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&#xD;
In fact, you don't even need a car to get there.&#xD;
&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;img height="389" width="583" border="0" alt="Angels Express" src="http://www.destinationirvine.com/includes/content/images/media/images/Angels-Express-wrapped-car.jpg" /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&#xD;
&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;a href="http://www.octa.net/Metrolink/OCTA-Promotions/Angels-Express/"&gt;Metrolink's Angels Express&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;train takes fans from Irvine right to the ballpark for every evening home game. Whether you live in Irvine or are in town for a few days, taking the train to the Angels game will save you time and money. The round trip tickets are a mere $7, which is a better deal than the $10 parking fee at the stadium. Not to mention the cost of gas or the stress of sitting in stop and go traffic on the freeway.&#xD;
&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&#xD;
Parking is free at the I&lt;a href="http://www.cityofirvine.org/cityhall/pw/irvine_station.asp"&gt;rvine Transportation Center&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;or it's a short shuttle ride from most Irvine hotels.&#xD;
&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;img align="left" height="338" width="450" border="0" alt="Angels Express" src="http://www.destinationirvine.com/includes/content/images/media/images/24.JPG" /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&#xD;
&amp;nbsp;&#xD;
&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&#xD;
Tickets may be purchased at Metrolink vending machines by selecting &amp;quot;Special Ticket Options.&amp;quot;&#xD;
&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&#xD;
&amp;nbsp;&#xD;
&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&#xD;
&amp;nbsp;&#xD;
&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&#xD;
Just arrive up to 45 minutes before the train departure time to purchase your tickets.&amp;nbsp;&#xD;
&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&#xD;
&amp;nbsp;&#xD;
&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&#xD;
&amp;nbsp;&#xD;
&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&#xD;
It doesn't take long to catch Angels Fever once on board, as most passengers are fellow fans.&#xD;
&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;img height="413" width="550" border="0" alt="Angels Express" src="http://www.destinationirvine.com/includes/content/images/media/images/91.JPG" /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&#xD;
&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&#xD;
The mood is festive yet relaxing as the train cuises past stopped traffic on the freeway. The Irvine train leaves at 6pm and after a 20 minute ride, you arrive relaxed and ready for Angels baseball. &#xD;
&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&#xD;
There's plenty of time to make the short walk from the train station across the parking lot to&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://losangeles.angels.mlb.com/schedule/index.jsp?c_id=ana#y=2013&amp;amp;m=5&amp;amp;calendar=DEFAULT"&gt;Angels Stadium.&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&#xD;

Irvine baseball fans don't have to go very far to see Orange County's home team.&amp;nbsp;With Angels Stadium just a few miles to the north, Irvine has a Major League baseball team right in its own backyard. &#xD;
&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&#xD;
In fact, you don't even need a car to get there.&#xD;
&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&#xD;

&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;a href="http://www.octa.net/Metrolink/OCTA-Promotions/Angels-Express/"&gt;Metrolink's Angels Express&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;train takes fans from Irvine right to the ballpark for every evening home game. Whether you live in Irvine or are in town for a few days, taking the train to the Angels game will save you time and money. The round trip tickets are a mere $7, which is a better deal than the $10 parking fee at the stadium. Not to mention the cost of gas or the stress of sitting in stop and go traffic on the freeway.&#xD;
&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&#xD;
Parking is free at the I&lt;a href="http://www.cityofirvine.org/cityhall/pw/irvine_station.asp"&gt;rvine Transportation Center&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;or it's a short shuttle ride from most Irvine hotels.&#xD;
&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;

&lt;p&gt;&#xD;
&amp;nbsp;&#xD;
&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&#xD;
Tickets may be purchased at Metrolink vending machines by selecting &amp;quot;Special Ticket Options.&amp;quot;&#xD;
&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&#xD;
&amp;nbsp;&#xD;
&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&#xD;
&amp;nbsp;&#xD;
&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&#xD;
Just arrive up to 45 minutes before the train departure time to purchase your tickets.&amp;nbsp;&#xD;
&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&#xD;
&amp;nbsp;&#xD;
&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&#xD;
&amp;nbsp;&#xD;
&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&#xD;
It doesn't take long to catch Angels Fever once on board, as most passengers are fellow fans.&#xD;
&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;img height="413" width="550" border="0" alt="Angels Express" src="http://www.destinationirvine.com/includes/content/images/media/images/91.JPG" /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&#xD;
&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&#xD;
The mood is festive yet relaxing as the train cuises past stopped traffic on the freeway. The Irvine train leaves at 6pm and after a 20 minute ride, you arrive relaxed and ready for Angels baseball. &#xD;
&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&#xD;
There's plenty of time to make the short walk from the train station across the parking lot to&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://losangeles.angels.mlb.com/schedule/index.jsp?c_id=ana#y=2013&amp;amp;m=5&amp;amp;calendar=DEFAULT"&gt;Angels Stadium.&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&#xD;

&lt;img height="413" width="550" border="0" alt="Angels xpress" src="http://www.destinationirvine.com/includes/content/images/media/images/15.JPG" /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&#xD;
&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&#xD;
The return trains leave 30 minutes after the final pitch is thrown, even if it's an extra inning game. &#xD;
&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&#xD;
On Friday nights, when the Angels have a weekly fireworks display, the train leaves 45 minutes after game time so you have time to see the show.&#xD;
&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&#xD;
All in all, the Angels Express is a good deal. It's easy. It's inexpensive, and it's a new experience for fans. &#xD;

On Friday nights, when the Angels have a weekly fireworks display, the train leaves 45 minutes after game time so you have time to see the show.&#xD;

Irvine baseball fans don't have to go very far to see Orange County's home team.&amp;nbsp;With Angels Stadium just a few miles to the north, Irvine has a Major League baseball team right in its own backyard. &#xD;
&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&#xD;
In fact, you don't even need a car to get there.&#xD;
&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;img height="389" width="583" border="0" alt="Angels Express" src="http://www.destinationirvine.com/includes/content/images/media/images/Angels-Express-wrapped-car.jpg" /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&#xD;
&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;a href="http://www.octa.net/Metrolink/OCTA-Promotions/Angels-Express/"&gt;Metrolink's Angels Express&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;train takes fans from Irvine right to the ballpark for every evening home game. Whether you live in Irvine or are in town for a few days, taking the train to the Angels game will save you time and money. The round trip tickets are a mere $7, which is a better deal than the $10 parking fee at the stadium. Not to mention the cost of gas or the stress of sitting in stop and go traffic on the freeway.&#xD;
&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&#xD;
Parking is free at the I&lt;a href="http://www.cityofirvine.org/cityhall/pw/irvine_station.asp"&gt;rvine Transportation Center&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;or it's a short shuttle ride from most Irvine hotels.&#xD;
&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;img align="left" height="338" width="450" border="0" alt="Angels Express" src="http://www.destinationirvine.com/includes/content/images/media/images/24.JPG" /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&#xD;
&amp;nbsp;&#xD;
&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&#xD;
Tickets may be purchased at Metrolink vending machines by selecting &amp;quot;Special Ticket Options.&amp;quot;&#xD;
&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&#xD;
&amp;nbsp;&#xD;
&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&#xD;
&amp;nbsp;&#xD;
&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&#xD;
Just arrive up to 45 minutes before the train departure time to purchase your tickets.&amp;nbsp;&#xD;
&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&#xD;
&amp;nbsp;&#xD;
&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&#xD;
&amp;nbsp;&#xD;
&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&#xD;
It doesn't take long to catch Angels Fever once on board, as most passengers are fellow fans.&#xD;
&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;img height="413" width="550" border="0" alt="Angels Express" src="http://www.destinationirvine.com/includes/content/images/media/images/91.JPG" /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&#xD;
&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&#xD;
The mood is festive yet relaxing as the train cuises past stopped traffic on the freeway. The Irvine train leaves at 6pm and after a 20 minute ride, you arrive relaxed and ready for Angels baseball. &#xD;
&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&#xD;
There's plenty of time to make the short walk from the train station across the parking lot to&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://losangeles.angels.mlb.com/schedule/index.jsp?c_id=ana#y=2013&amp;amp;m=5&amp;amp;calendar=DEFAULT"&gt;Angels Stadium.&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&#xD;

Irvine baseball fans don't have to go very far to see Orange County's home team.&amp;nbsp;With Angels Stadium just a few miles to the north, Irvine has a Major League baseball team right in its own backyard. &#xD;
&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&#xD;
In fact, you don't even need a car to get there.&#xD;
&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;img height="389" width="583" border="0" alt="Angels Express" src="http://www.destinationirvine.com/includes/content/images/media/images/Angels-Express-wrapped-car.jpg" /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&#xD;
&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;a href="http://www.octa.net/Metrolink/OCTA-Promotions/Angels-Express/"&gt;Metrolink's Angels Express&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;train takes fans from Irvine right to the ballpark for every evening home game. Whether you live in Irvine or are in town for a few days, taking the train to the Angels game will save you time and money. The round trip tickets are a mere $7, which is a better deal than the $10 parking fee at the stadium. Not to mention the cost of gas or the stress of sitting in stop and go traffic on the freeway.&#xD;
&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&#xD;
Parking is free at the I&lt;a href="http://www.cityofirvine.org/cityhall/pw/irvine_station.asp"&gt;rvine Transportation Center&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;or it's a short shuttle ride from most Irvine hotels.&#xD;
&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;img align="left" height="338" width="450" border="0" alt="Angels Express" src="http://www.destinationirvine.com/includes/content/images/media/images/24.JPG" /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&#xD;
&amp;nbsp;&#xD;
&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&#xD;
Tickets may be purchased at Metrolink vending machines by selecting &amp;quot;Special Ticket Options.&amp;quot;&#xD;
&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&#xD;
&amp;nbsp;&#xD;
&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&#xD;
&amp;nbsp;&#xD;
&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&#xD;
Just arrive up to 45 minutes before the train departure time to purchase your tickets.&amp;nbsp;&#xD;
&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&#xD;
&amp;nbsp;&#xD;
&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&#xD;
&amp;nbsp;&#xD;
&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&#xD;
It doesn't take long to catch Angels Fever once on board, as most passengers are fellow fans.&#xD;
&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;img height="413" width="550" border="0" alt="Angels Express" src="http://www.destinationirvine.com/includes/content/images/media/images/91.JPG" /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&#xD;
&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&#xD;
The mood is festive yet relaxing as the train cuises past stopped traffic on the freeway. The Irvine train leaves at 6pm and after a 20 minute ride, you arrive relaxed and ready for Angels baseball. &#xD;
&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&#xD;
There's plenty of time to make the short walk from the train station across the parking lot to&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://losangeles.angels.mlb.com/schedule/index.jsp?c_id=ana#y=2013&amp;amp;m=5&amp;amp;calendar=DEFAULT"&gt;Angels Stadium.&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&#xD;

&lt;p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;img height="413" width="550" border="0" alt="Angels xpress" src="http://www.destinationirvine.com/includes/content/images/media/images/15.JPG" /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&#xD;
&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&#xD;
The return trains leave 30 minutes after the final pitch is thrown, even if it's an extra inning game. &#xD;
&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&#xD;
On Friday nights, when the Angels have a weekly fireworks display, the train leaves 45 minutes after game time so you have time to see the show.&#xD;
&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&#xD;
All in all, the Angels Express is a good deal. It's easy. It's inexpensive, and it's a new experience for fans. &#xD;
&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;

&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&#xD;
Parking is free at the I&lt;a href="http://www.cityofirvine.org/cityhall/pw/irvine_station.asp"&gt;rvine Transportation Center&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;or it's a short shuttle ride from most Irvine hotels.&#xD;

&amp;nbsp;&#xD;
&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&#xD;
&amp;nbsp;&#xD;
&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&#xD;
Just arrive up to 45 minutes before the train departure time to purchase your tickets.&amp;nbsp;&#xD;
&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&#xD;
&amp;nbsp;&#xD;
&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&#xD;
&amp;nbsp;&#xD;
&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&#xD;
It doesn't take long to catch Angels Fever once on board, as most passengers are fellow fans.&#xD;

&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&#xD;
The mood is festive yet relaxing as the train cuises past stopped traffic on the freeway. The Irvine train leaves at 6pm and after a 20 minute ride, you arrive relaxed and ready for Angels baseball. &#xD;
&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&#xD;
There's plenty of time to make the short walk from the train station across the parking lot to&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://losangeles.angels.mlb.com/schedule/index.jsp?c_id=ana#y=2013&amp;amp;m=5&amp;amp;calendar=DEFAULT"&gt;Angels Stadium.&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&#xD;

&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&#xD;
The return trains leave 30 minutes after the final pitch is thrown, even if it's an extra inning game. &#xD;
&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&#xD;
On Friday nights, when the Angels have a weekly fireworks display, the train leaves 45 minutes after game time so you have time to see the show.&#xD;
&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&#xD;
All in all, the Angels Express is a good deal. It's easy. It's inexpensive, and it's a new experience for fans. &#xD;

Irvine baseball fans don't have to go very far to see Orange County's home team.&amp;nbsp;With Angels Stadium just a few miles to the north, Irvine has a Major League baseball team right in its own backyard. &#xD;
&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&#xD;
In fact, you don't even need a car to get there.&#xD;
&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;img height="389" width="583" border="0" alt="Angels Express" src="http://www.destinationirvine.com/includes/content/images/media/images/Angels-Express-wrapped-car.jpg" /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&#xD;
&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;a href="http://www.octa.net/Metrolink/OCTA-Promotions/Angels-Express/"&gt;Metrolink's Angels Express&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;train takes fans from Irvine right to the ballpark for every evening home game. Whether you live in Irvine or are in town for a few days, taking the train to the Angels game will save you time and money. The round trip tickets are a mere $7, which is a better deal than the $10 parking fee at the stadium. Not to mention the cost of gas or the stress of sitting in stop and go traffic on the freeway.&#xD;
&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&#xD;
Parking is free at the I&lt;a href="http://www.cityofirvine.org/cityhall/pw/irvine_station.asp"&gt;rvine Transportation Center&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;or it's a short shuttle ride from most Irvine hotels.&#xD;
&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;img align="left" height="338" width="450" border="0" alt="Angels Express" src="http://www.destinationirvine.com/includes/content/images/media/images/24.JPG" /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&#xD;
&amp;nbsp;&#xD;
&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&#xD;
Tickets may be purchased at Metrolink vending machines by selecting &amp;quot;Special Ticket Options.&amp;quot;&#xD;
&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&#xD;
&amp;nbsp;&#xD;
&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&#xD;
&amp;nbsp;&#xD;
&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&#xD;
Just arrive up to 45 minutes before the train departure time to purchase your tickets.&amp;nbsp;&#xD;
&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&#xD;
&amp;nbsp;&#xD;
&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&#xD;
&amp;nbsp;&#xD;
&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&#xD;
It doesn't take long to catch Angels Fever once on board, as most passengers are fellow fans.&#xD;
&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;img height="413" width="550" border="0" alt="Angels Express" src="http://www.destinationirvine.com/includes/content/images/media/images/91.JPG" /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&#xD;
&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&#xD;
The mood is festive yet relaxing as the train cuises past stopped traffic on the freeway. The Irvine train leaves at 6pm and after a 20 minute ride, you arrive relaxed and ready for Angels baseball. &#xD;
&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&#xD;
There's plenty of time to make the short walk from the train station across the parking lot to&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://losangeles.angels.mlb.com/schedule/index.jsp?c_id=ana#y=2013&amp;amp;m=5&amp;amp;calendar=DEFAULT"&gt;Angels Stadium.&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&#xD;
&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;img height="413" width="550" border="0" alt="Angels xpress" src="http://www.destinationirvine.com/includes/content/images/media/images/15.JPG" /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&#xD;
&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&#xD;
The return trains leave 30 minutes after the final pitch is thrown, even if it's an extra inning game. &#xD;
&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&#xD;
On Friday nights, when the Angels have a weekly fireworks display, the train leaves 45 minutes after game time so you have time to see the show.&#xD;
&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&#xD;
All in all, the Angels Express is a good deal. It's easy. It's inexpensive, and it's a new experience for fans. &#xD;
&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;

The return trains leave 30 minutes after the final pitch is thrown, even if it's an extra inning game. &#xD;

On Friday nights, when the Angels have a weekly fireworks display, the train leaves 45 minutes after game time so you have time to see the show.&#xD;
&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;

Irvine baseball fans don't have to go very far to see Orange County's home team.&amp;nbsp;With Angels Stadium just a few miles to the north, Irvine has a Major League baseball team right in its own backyard. &#xD;
&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&#xD;
In fact, you don't even need a car to get there.&#xD;

Irvine baseball fans don't have to go very far to see Orange County's home team.&amp;nbsp;With Angels Stadium just a few miles to the north, Irvine has a Major League baseball team right in its own backyard. &#xD;
&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&#xD;
In fact, you don't even need a car to get there.&#xD;
&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;img height="389" width="583" border="0" alt="Angels Express" src="http://www.destinationirvine.com/includes/content/images/media/images/Angels-Express-wrapped-car.jpg" /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&#xD;
&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;a href="http://www.octa.net/Metrolink/OCTA-Promotions/Angels-Express/"&gt;Metrolink's Angels Express&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;train takes fans from Irvine right to the ballpark for every evening home game. Whether you live in Irvine or are in town for a few days, taking the train to the Angels game will save you time and money. The round trip tickets are a mere $7, which is a better deal than the $10 parking fee at the stadium. Not to mention the cost of gas or the stress of sitting in stop and go traffic on the freeway.&#xD;
&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&#xD;
Parking is free at the I&lt;a href="http://www.cityofirvine.org/cityhall/pw/irvine_station.asp"&gt;rvine Transportation Center&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;or it's a short shuttle ride from most Irvine hotels.&#xD;
&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;img align="left" height="338" width="450" border="0" alt="Angels Express" src="http://www.destinationirvine.com/includes/content/images/media/images/24.JPG" /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&#xD;
&amp;nbsp;&#xD;
&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&#xD;
Tickets may be purchased at Metrolink vending machines by selecting &amp;quot;Special Ticket Options.&amp;quot;&#xD;
&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&#xD;
&amp;nbsp;&#xD;
&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&#xD;
&amp;nbsp;&#xD;
&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&#xD;
Just arrive up to 45 minutes before the train departure time to purchase your tickets.&amp;nbsp;&#xD;
&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&#xD;
&amp;nbsp;&#xD;
&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&#xD;
&amp;nbsp;&#xD;
&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&#xD;
It doesn't take long to catch Angels Fever once on board, as most passengers are fellow fans.&#xD;
&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;img height="413" width="550" border="0" alt="Angels Express" src="http://www.destinationirvine.com/includes/content/images/media/images/91.JPG" /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&#xD;
&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&#xD;
The mood is festive yet relaxing as the train cuises past stopped traffic on the freeway. The Irvine train leaves at 6pm and after a 20 minute ride, you arrive relaxed and ready for Angels baseball. &#xD;
&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&#xD;
There's plenty of time to make the short walk from the train station across the parking lot to&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://losangeles.angels.mlb.com/schedule/index.jsp?c_id=ana#y=2013&amp;amp;m=5&amp;amp;calendar=DEFAULT"&gt;Angels Stadium.&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&#xD;
&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;img height="413" width="550" border="0" alt="Angels xpress" src="http://www.destinationirvine.com/includes/content/images/media/images/15.JPG" /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&#xD;
&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&#xD;
The return trains leave 30 minutes after the final pitch is thrown, even if it's an extra inning game. &#xD;
&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&#xD;
On Friday nights, when the Angels have a weekly fireworks display, the train leaves 45 minutes after game time so you have time to see the show.&#xD;
&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&#xD;
All in all, the Angels Express is a good deal. It's easy. It's inexpensive, and it's a new experience for fans. &#xD;
&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
