Citizens Bank Park is a 43,647-seat
baseball-only
stadium in
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania that opened on
April 3,
2004 and hosted its first regular season baseball game on
April 12 of that same year, as the tenants of the facility, the
Philadelphia Phillies lost to the
Cincinnati Reds, 4-1. The ballpark was built to replace the now-demolished
Veterans Stadium (a
football/baseball multipurpose facility), and features natural grass and dirt playing field and boasts many Philadelphia style food stands, including
cheesesteaks, hoagies, and other regional specialties. Behind center field is Ashburn Alley, named after Phillies great center fielder and
Hall of Famer Richie Ashburn, a walkway featuring restaurants and memorabilia from Phillies history, along with a restaurant/bar and grille called "Harry The K's" named after Hall of Fame broadcaster
Harry Kalas. This area opens two-and-a-half hours before the scheduled first pitch, much like Eutaw Street at
Oriole Park at Camden Yards via the Left Field Gate, with two exceptions: Opening Day, when all gates open three hours before the scheduled first pitch and on the team's annual Photo Day, when all gates open two-and-a-half hours before the scheduled first pitch to allow fans with cameras onto the warning track to take pictures (or videos) of the team's players.
