Facts, Figures and Fun Features

After 33 years at Veterans Stadium, the Phillies moved into their new state-of-the art facility, Citizens Bank Park, in 2004. The world-class ballpark - rated one of the best in the country - opened on April 3, 2004, with an exhibition game against Cleveland. Since that time, the Phillies have captured a World Series championship (2008), three National League pennants (2008-09, 2022) and seven NL East titles (2007-11; 2024-2025), while countless records have been broken both on and off the field.

Excellent regional highway access for vehicles and Broad Street Subway Line for public transportation.

21-acre site, north side of Pattison Avenue between Citizens Bank Way and Darien Street.

With the help of an Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) consultant, the park was designed to be universally accessible and comfortable for all fans with disabilities.

The Yard

Located in right field, this 13,000-square-foot interactive kids' baseball experience literally gives kids the chance to get into the game! Highlights include:

• Citizens Phan Field: A Wiffle ball field complete with a major-league-class dugout and MLB-quality padded outfield wall, as well as an AstroTurf-covered field that stretches 70-feet deep. This authentic play area resembles the Phillies big-league field, with the diamond-orientation featuring a unique mural of the city skyline. Framing that view is a scaled-down version of the team's PhanaVision scoreboard and the iconic Liberty Bell, both clearly visible from the centrally located dugout.
• Hatfield Phillies Franks Phanatic Hot Dog Launcher: Kids can test their marksmanship by aiming at targets on the wall and sending foam-frankfurters soaring.
• A 30-foot Phanatic Chevrolet Climbing Wall: Gives fans (in harnesses) the chance to clamber around graphic depictions of Philadelphia's landmark buildings.
• A Bullpen Speed Pitch: Fans can practice their pitches as well as measure their velocity with a radar gun.
• Richman's Ice Cream Bar at The Yard: The ultimate indulgence for any child or kid at heart, as well as kid-sized concessions!

Located in Section 137, this unoccupied seat pays tribute to every mother who lost a son or daughter during active service and is dedicated to the memory of their loved ones.

The exterior architecture - comprised primarily of multiple shades of red brick, precast concrete and granite complemented by the green roofs with a copper patina finish - combines the essence of Philadelphia's rich tradition of sports architecture with an unmistakably 21st century style.

Black accent bricks patterned in the shape of baseball diamonds are inlaid across the top of the three primary facades. Additionally, along Pattison Avenue, the black bricks spell the word "Philadelphia" in 12' high letters. The ballpark architecture is a welcome addition to this historic city.

At the four corners of the site, landscaped entrance plazas open the park to the street. Each of these entrance plazas has a distinct character and focus, echoing the City of Philadelphia design plan with its four unique squares. Approaching the entrance plazas, the steel-framed seating bowl and twin light towers flank the primary entrances - which lead to the open-air main concourse and an open view to the playing field.

With the Philadelphia city skyline as the backdrop, the ballpark features bowl-style seating with the playing field scooped out 23 feet below street level. The seating bowl layout is inspired by the classic plans of Baker Bowl and Connie Mack Stadium, former homes of the Phillies. Like Connie Mack Stadium, the upper and lower decks do not correspond exactly in plan. The cantilevered steel structure allows for more open seating areas.

The walk-around, open-air concourses offer a continuous, uninterrupted view of the field. Guests can now enjoy the game whether they are in a seat, a restaurant, a suite, on a concourse or in a club lounge.

Statues

World-renowned sculptor Zenos Frudakis has created four 10-foot tall bronze statues of Phillies Hall of Famers Richie Ashburn, Robin Roberts, Steve Carlton and Mike Schmidt. In addition, the Phillies relocated the Connie Mack statue that was part of the Veterans Stadium and Connie Mack Stadium experiences. Mr. Mack's statue is located on the west side of Citizens Bank Way. The four Joe Brown statues that graced the Vet have been relocated to the perimeter of the parking lot where Veterans Stadium once stood.

A statue dedicated to the memory of Phillies Hall of Fame broadcaster Harry Kalas is located on the Main Concourse behind Section 141. The 7.5' statue was sculpted by Lawrence J. Nowlan.

Terrazzo Floors

Thirty-one images of popular Phillies Alumni outlined in action poses are featured in a terrazzo tile floor in the Suite and Club Entrance on Pattison Avenue.

Another terrazzo floor can be found in the Philadelphia Insurance Club.

Veterans Memorial

To commemorate the site of Veterans Stadium, the Phillies built a monument as an everlasting memorial to veterans. The granite-covered memorial is prominently located on Pattison Avenue and includes medallions representing the Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force, Space Force, Coast Guard and POW/MIA.

Ashburn Alley: Festive outfield entertainment area named after Phillies Hall of Famer and former broadcaster Richie “Whitey” Ashburn; 625 feet in length covering 50,000 square feet. Highlights include:

• Right Field: The Yard, a 13,000-square-foot interactive kids’ baseball experience complete with Citizens Phan Field (a 70-foot Astroturf-covered field), a Hatfield Phillies Franks Hot Dog Launcher, a 30-foot Phanatic Chevrolet Climbing Wall, Bullpen pitching area, and Richman’s Ice Cream bar.

• All-Star Walk: Granite markers featuring Phillies All-Stars since the first All-Star Game in 1933 are on display along Ashburn Alley. Additions will take place annually as Phillies players receive All-Star honors.

• Pass and Stow: This 24,500-square-foot space includes an outdoor Kona at the Park Bar, Foundry Pizza featuring Manco & Manco, a family-friendly sports pub, TVs to catch game action and more. Pass and Stow is a historic nod to the Liberty Bell, which has been part of the Phillies brand and logo for many years. The name is derived from the two Philadelphia foundry workers, John Pass and John Stow, who recast the original bell in 1753, and whose names are inscribed on this important piece of American history.
• Concessions: Freddy's and Chickie's & Pete's. Plus, grab-and-go Coca-Cola products, beer, Surfside, snacks and hot foods at Coca-Cola Home Plate Grab-N-Go Market, powered by Amazon Just Walk Out technology.

Citizens Bank Park is designed with a unique construction "break" in the Cadillac Hall of Fame Club/Pavilion Level (near Section 210). The "break" lowers the entire right field Pavilion Deck approximately 20 feet, moving those seats lower and closer to the playing field. It also provides a viewing platform that allows guests to see the game and catch a glimpse of the Philadelphia skyline.

The uniqueness of Citizens Bank Park carries over to the playing field with Monty’s Angle. The outfield wall, located between the left-center field power alley and dead center field, angles into the playing field and has heights that taper from 19' to 12' 8". Batted balls hitting the Angle are sure to create havoc for outfielders and produce some interesting extra-base hits.

This area was named for late Phillies president and CEO David Montgomery, who led the building of the ballpark in 2004 and originally introduced the idea of a unique angle in center field.

The protective netting extends most of the way down each baseline to Section 109 (right field line) and Section 138 (left field line). The netting behind the dugouts and down the baselines is approximately 25 feet high and made of state-of-the-art "field green" material to blend in with the playing field and minimize obstruction of views.
