    DETAILS OF THE FINDINGS Attendee Gender – Six of ten head of game party 2012 Cactus League attendee respondents are men. This is the case among both local (Phoenix metro residents) and out-of-area (outside the Phoenix metro) attendees. In line with past studies, there continues to be a male skew regardless of team – especially among Reds (66%), Dodgers (66%) and Rockies (68%) attendees. Only among Rangers attendees is there a slight female lean (52%).

UPDATE On January 4, 2005, team owner Arte Moreno announced that the team would change its name to "The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim." Moreno believes that the name change will allow the team to tap into a larger marketing area in the greater Los Angeles community. Commissioner Bug Selig has approved the name change, but there are pending lawsuits by the city to enjoin the team, requiring the name to remain "The Anaheim Angels." The city sued arguing that the lease precludes the change, while the team argues that by leaving "Anaheim" in the name, the change satisfies the terms of the lease. NAMING RIGHTS In early 2004 Edison International exercised their option to terminate their 20-year, $50 million naming rights agreement with the Anaheim Angels.
