There may be a couple parks with a better backdrop in cities like Pittsburgh and San Francisco, and there may be a few more with a historical aura in Boston, Chicago and Los Angeles, but there is no better place to take in a ballgame than Citizen Bank Park.
Don't just take my word for it.
USA Today published its annual Reader's Choice Awards, and as part of it ranked the 10 best baseball stadiums in the majors. Readers of the national newspaper picked the Phillies home stadium as the best in the Bigs.
The poll highlights Ashburn Alley as the gem of the ballpark, but it should also be noted that CBP came in No. 2 for best ballpark food.
Today is Opening Day in Philadelphia and the Phillies will host the Colorado Rockies at 3:05 PM. Gates are opening early for fans to enter the ballpark. Fans can come in as early as 12:35.
Opening ceremonies are slated to begin at 2:20 PM.
There are a lot of new things at the ballpark from new food options to new fan gear and a new home run display that features a large Xfinity logo installed over the batter's eye in centerfield.
We will have wall to wall coverage of Opening Day throughout the day. Be sure to check back with us throughout the day - and frankly the entire baseball season.
