What's new at Citizens Bank Park this season ahead of Philadelphia Phillies' home opener
The start of the Major League Baseball season means a new lineup of tasty eats and treats, technology upgrades, fanwear and much more at Philadelphia's Citizens Bank Park.
With the
Fightins
just days away from their
home opener against the Colorado Rockies
, the Phillies and Aramark Sports & Entertainment revealed what new amenities fans can expect to see this season at the ballpark.
The stadium's enhancements begin with state-of-the-art technology aimed at elevating the fan and visitor experience at Citizens Bank Park. Like, the stadium's new LED rings, which span over 3,100 feet and wrap around the ballpark's suite level. The LED rings will display ball-strike counts, scoring decisions, stats and more.
Home run celebrations also just got a little brighter with the Xfinity Home Run Takeover, a light show that pops up every time a Phillie homers. The custom light show will illuminate the ballpark from foul pole to foul pole with a supersized Xfinity logo in the center that will pulse with color during every celebration. Plus, fans will appreciate the upgrades to the ballpark's sound system and field-level signage.
As for
mouth-watering additions
, the newly-revealed chef creations include: Bull's BBQ House Chips and Dip (Left Field Plaza), Pass and Stow Cobb Salad (adjacent to the Third Base Gate), Crispy Chicken Sandwich (Pass and Stow), Kosher Grill's pulled brisket sandwich (behind Section 124), Kyle's Cutlets (Coca-Cola Corner) – where a portion of the proceeds acquired from every sandwich sold will go to Schwarber's Neighborhood Heroes, PJ Whelihan's Onion Rings (Ashburn Alley) and Uncle Charlie's Express (behind Section 319) – named after
World Series champion manager Charlie Manuel.
Fans looking for something to quench their thirst can get a 16/24-ounce Beverage Bat filled with beer, a cocktail, frozen drink or non-alcoholic refreshment.
Visitors can also score a memento when they purchase the Cotton Candy Mask, a foam mask showcasing the Phanatic, the Fastball Souvenir Cup, designed to hold frozen cocktails and beverages, or the On-field Ice Cream Caps. This season, the ballpark will also offer Four Walls Irish Coffee Tiramisu (CP Rankin Club), Red Velvet Affogato (The Yard behind Section 102), and S'mores Quesadilla (Coca-Cola Corner).
Citizens Bank Park visitors can also support and try out Philly-favorite brands like Jason and Travis Kelce's Garage Beer, Rob McElhenney's Wrexham Lager and Zomoz mescal, which Phillies legend Ryan Howard invests in, and Philly's Best Steak, which is headquartered and made in the Greater Philadelphia area, at the ballpark. Other partner offerings include Alc-A-Chino Spiked Coffee and Schär Gluten-Free Dedicated Stand.
A retro Phanatic onesie for adults? Say less.
Citizens Bank Park will have exclusive fan gear available only at their New Era Phillies Team Store. Some of the new additions include: the retro Phanatic onesie, suit jacket, fuzzy sandals, gold chain necklace, along with plush toys, piggy banks, neon signs, bobbleheads, headgear and more.
Golfers can also sport their Phillies fandom with ballpark-exclusive designs from brands like Peter Millar, Johnnie-O and more. Plus, custom baseball bats made by Bruce "The Bat King" Tatem.
Phillies fans can also enjoy plenty of fun photo ops inside the ballpark, like at the
"City of Brotherly Love" mural, created by Lindsay Archer.
For the second year in a row, the Phillies and SEI commissioned a mural by a local artist, with this year's theme being "Connecting Communities." Archer's homage to Philadelphia will be on display above Ashburn Alley on the CP Rankin Roof.
Another perk for this season — fans can get to the ballpark earlier for games. The Third Base Gate and Left Field Gate will open two hours before each game, Monday through Friday, and two and a half hours early Saturday and Sunday. Visitors will be able to access the main concourse from the Pass and Stow and the New Era Phillies Team Store to the Yard.

Nick Gonzales' sacrifice fly lifts Pirates to win over Phillies
Adam Frazier had three hits and scored the winning run on Nick Gonzales's sacrifice fly in the ninth inning, helping the Pittsburgh Pirates rally for a 5-4 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies on Friday night. David Bednar (1-4) struck out the side in the ninth for the Pirates. Frazier and Jared Triolo started the ninth with singles off Jordan Romano (0-3). Isiah Kiner-Falefa loaded the bases with a bunt before Oneil Cruz struck out looking. Gonzales then lifted a 2-2 slider to the warning track, allowing Frazier to score. Trea Turner gave Philadelphia an early lead, getting on with a single for his first of three hits and taking third on a double steal in the first before scoring on a grounder from Nick Castellanos. The Pirates' Bryan Reynolds hit an RBI single the next inning. Turner hit a double to right and Alec Bohm brought him in with a single to left, putting the Phillies back ahead 2-1 in the third. Reynolds tied it again with his eighth home run of the season into the left-field bleachers. Turner drove in two with a two-out single for a 4-2 lead in the fourth. Henry Davis answered with a two-run homer the same inning. Matt Strahm struck out the side for the Phillies in the eighth. Bednar immediately matched him in the ninth, capped by getting Turner to whiff on a curveball in the dirt. Pirates starter Bailey Falter allowed four runs on five hits in 3 2/3 innings. Chase Shugart, Caleb Ferguson, Dennis Santana and Bednar combined to give up two hits and one walk with eight strikeouts the rest of the way. Endy Rodríguez left due to right elbow discomfort and continues to be evaluated, the Pirates said. LHP Ranger Suárez (4-0, 2.72 ERA) will take the mound for the Phillies on Saturday opposite Pirates LHP Andrew Heaney (3-4, 3.39).
