Citizens Bank Park

Citizens Bank Park in south Philadelphia is the home of the Phillies, famed for its electric, demanding crowds and an Ashburn Alley concourse packed with Philly food institutions behind center field. The ballpark's hitter-friendly dimensions and Liberty Bell that lights up and clangs after every Phillies home run give it a distinct South Philly identity. Fans here are famously vocal, and the stadium sits alongside the Eagles', Sixers', and Flyers' home venues in the city's sports complex, making game day part of a broader Philly sports pilgrimage. It's widely regarded as one of the loudest, most intense home-field advantages in baseball.

The ballpark opened in April 2004, replacing the multipurpose Veterans Stadium and giving the Phillies their first baseball-only home since the 1970s. Its defining moment came in the 2008 World Series, when closer Brad Lidge struck out the final batter of a rain-suspended Game 5 to clinch the franchise's second championship. The park has also hosted deep postseason runs in 2009, 2010, 2011, and the Phillies' 2022 pennant-winning season. Two decades in, it has cemented a reputation as one of the sport's most raucous and demanding ballparks.
