The "of Anaheim" was encompassed in the official name to comply with a provision of the team's lease at Angel Stadium which requires that "Anaheim" be encompassed in the team's name.
They further argued that the town/city would never have agreed to the new lease without the name change, because the new lease required that the town/city partially fund the stadium's renovation but provided very little revenue for the city.
