Citizens Bank Park Turns 20: Phun Philly Phacts

PHILADELPHIA, PA —It has hosted three World Series over its history and countless and endless memories for fans of all ages of the Philadelphia Phillies.

Citizens Bank Park turned 20 this year.

Since its grand opening on April 3, 2004, the iconic stadium has witnessed thrilling games, electrifying moments, and passionate fans.

We all remember "Bedlam at the Bank" when Bryce Harper hit the shot around The City of Brotherly Love with a game-winning home run in the eighth inning in Game 5 of the 2022 NLCS, sending the Phillies to the World Series for the first time since 2009.

“Bedlam at the Bank” captured the scene at Citizens Bank Park, where 45,000 fans lost their minds as Harper rounded the bases.

This stadium has seen fans fill its seats for numerous sellouts this year as the Phillies have made a run for a good chunk of the season as Major League Baseball's best team.

The ballpark features stunning views of the Philadelphia skyline, a statue of legendary broadcaster Harry Kalas, Bull’s Barbecue, a mini field for children to play whiffle ball, great eats like Chickie and Pete's crab fries, and Ashburn Alley, which pays tribute to Phillies legend Richie Ashburn.

There's also the replica of the Liberty Bell that rings with every home run and, of course, The Bank is home to baseball's best mascot, the Phillie Phanatic.

With the season winding down, the chances of visiting this stadium also are winding down.

But let's hope, the great ballpark will host yet another World Series this year.
