The Chronology
Your complete game day timeline at Citizens Bank Park.
Hit the lots early
The South Philadelphia Sports Complex parking lots have a legit tailgating scene. Fans set up grills, coolers, and cornhole boards hours before first pitch.
Tailgate or hit Xfinity Live!
Xfinity Live! is the sports entertainment complex in the parking lot area with bars, restaurants, and TVs. The outdoor areas fill with red-clad Phillies fans.
Enter through Ashburn Alley
Ashburn Alley in center field is the main food and entertainment hub inside the park. Grab a cheesesteak and explore the concourse.
Watch batting practice
Head to the outfield sections for BP. The home run bell in right field rings when the Phillies go deep.
Grab a cheesesteak and find your seat
The cheesesteak stands have the longest lines. Go now or during BP to avoid the 3rd-inning rush.
Play ball
Nine innings of Philly baseball. The crowd is loud, engaged, and will boo their own players if warranted. That's Philly love.
Stand up and stretch
The crowd sings and the energy peaks. Grab a final soft pretzel and a Yards Brawler.
Broad Street subway or Xfinity Live!
Take the Broad Street Line back to Center City or head to Xfinity Live! for postgame drinks. The lots clear in 20-30 minutes.
