Angels Draw Scrutiny Over 25,161 Attendance Claim as 52-82 Season Leaves Stadium Nearly Empty

Summary
Angel Stadium looked largely empty for Wednesday’s 1 p.m. game against Cleveland, even though the Angels officially announced attendance of 25,161.
The sparse crowd came with Los Angeles at 52-82 and 16 games out of the AL wild card, extending a season that has deepened fan frustration.
The attendance scene also reflected a longer slide: the Angels have not reached the playoffs since 2014 despite years with Mike Trout and Shohei Ohtani.
Fans online called the turnout embarrassing, while some blamed the 92-degree heat; the report argues the bigger driver was a decade of losing.
