Here we have arguably the best of the new modern Major League baseball stadiums.The ballpark opened up in April 2004.
It's the home of the 2008 World Champion and 2009 National Champion Philadelphia Phillies.
It's conveniently located right off the Walt Whitman Bridge as well as I-95.
If you don't drive and have to resort to taking public transportation, the subway stop is the last one on the orange line which is Pattison Avenue.
The experience here is rather unique.
They have the best mascot in all of sports not just baseball.
Their mascot is known as the Phillie Phanatic.
The ballpark itself has very spacious concourses which allows fans to wander around without missing the game action.
With the recent success, the ballpark has been jammed packed every game.
They do sell standing room tickets which allows you to stand where ever you see a space.
They also have tables set up with a ledge where you can put your food down and/or your scorebook if you like to score the game right behind the seating on 100 & 300 levels.
On the first base side, they have a glass cage with two elevators that take you to all the different levels in the ballpark.
Fans like to hang out there and watch the pitchers warm up in the bullpens.
They have a wide variety of local eateries such as the famous Philly cheese steaks.
In addition, they have a barbeque ribs stand out in rightfield that's run by former Phillie Greg Luzinski aka "The Bull".
In right centerfield, they have a Liberty Bell which lights up during night games.
When a Phillie hits a home run, it sways back and forth as well.
When you go to Philadelphia you come with "high hopes" as the late great Phillie broadcaster used to sing.
As a whole, regardless if you like the Phillies or not you shouldn't pass the opportunity to see a Phillie game.
Trust me you'll have a memorable experience.
