Facts and Figures

This season, the Phillies are celebrating the 20th anniversary of Citizens Bank Park, the state-of-the-art facility they moved into after 33 years at Veterans Stadium.

The world-class ballpark - rated one of the best in the country - opened on April 3, 2004, with an exhibition game against Cleveland. Since that time, the Phillies have captured a World Series championship (2008), three National League pennants (2008-09, 2022) and five consecutive NL East titles (2007-11), while countless records have been broken both on and off the field.

Excellent regional highway access for vehicles and Broad Street Subway Line for public transportation.

21-acre site, north side of Pattison Avenue between Citizens Bank Way and Darien Street.

With the help of an Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) consultant, the park was designed to be universally accessible and comfortable for all fans with disabilities.
