FirstEnergy Stadium

About a 90 minute drive from Citizen Bank Park, which is where the Philadelphia Phillies play, is FirstEnergy Stadium which houses their AA affiliate team, the Reading Phillies.  For a fraction of the cost of a ticket to a major league game, you can check out quality baseball and see players that are eventually bound for the Majors.

The stadium itself is significantly smaller than a major league stadium, but that has it's benefits.  It means there is no bad seat in the house and you get a much more intimate experience.  They also provide much more entertainment between innings, especially for children, with races, t-shirts being slung into the audience and the crowd favorite, the Crazy Hot Dog Vendor, who literally throws free hot dogs into the crowd.

Any fans of the Phillies should definitely check out a game when they get an opportunity.  And even if you aren't a fan of the team, it can still be a fun, low-cost experience.  And you'll also have plenty of laughs with some of the crazy fans at the game.
