Citizens Bank Park

We spent this past Sunday at the Phillies vs. Nationals game at Citizens Bank Park.  For anyone who hasn't been to this stadium yet, you're truly missing out.  The Phillies' home turf is one of the top venues to view a baseball game in the country.  The stadium is clean, provides good viewing angles from all the seats, and has plenty of food and entertainment.

The promenade located behind the outfield has various food vendors, including the famous Tony Luke's (some of the best cheesesteaks in Philly!) and Chickies and Pete's (a long line just for their Crab Fries!).  There's plenty of shops around to get your Phillies' paraphernalia, including a Build-A-Bear directly in the stadium.  It's great that when planning this stadium, that the designers thought about the entire ball-park experience and didn't just make a "cookie-cutter" stadium like the old Veterans Stadium this replaced.


Also, inside the stadium is one of the Phillie Phanatic statues that have been placed around town.  This is the only one we've seen thus far inside of a glass enclosure, but it's still allows for photos to be taken.


A final statue that caught our eye is the Mickey Mouse one.  Apparently all of the MLB stadiums have one of these this season for their teams as part of a promotion by Disney from the All-Star game.
