Philadelphia, PACitizens Bank Park
Summer 2009

Game Day Atmosphere: These guys are the reigning World Series Champions so people were actually very friendly here. Honestly, I was surprised after our experience in Washington DC, but then again everything is good when you're winning.
Stay: In Historical Downtown Philly near Independence Hall so you can go on a tour and see the Liberty Bell during your stay.
View: Nice view behind the outfield, especially of the Liberty Bell Tower that lights, sways, and rings on every Philly home run.
Arrive: Drive to the game. Traffic flow was good getting to the game and there are many parking spaces that were all the same price. Now, getting out of the stadium lot was another story. Be prepared to wait, and wait, and wait.
Concessions: You have to get a Cheesesteak sandwich since you are in Philly. Do not call it a "Philly" Cheesesteak, just cheesesteak will work, and be prepared to wait up to 45 minutes in line.
Not advertised: Just like the Eagles football games, these fans will turn on their own in a heartbeat. Philly is known as the only town to actually boo Santa.

Not in the box score: The outfield fans can be ruthless to the other teams' outfielders. The entire left field section razzed Alfonso Soriano from the Cubs for booting a ball and not hustling to another. Cue the "Sorry-ano" cheers.
Final Box: Philadelphia Phillies 10, Chicago Cubs 1
