The Phillies' ballpark includes a sunken field and retro-style interior designed to excite fans when it opened in 2004.
The venue features rooftop bleacher seats in the outfield, the Sports Pub Cafe in the ballpark's southwest corner and the more upscale Scoreboard Restaurant. Family entertainment will be available in an outfield location.
The ballpark offers better views and seats closer to the action than its old home, Veterans Stadium. The ballpark's playing field is 23 feet below street level. The cantilevered steel structure of the park allows for more open seating areas. The ballpark is configured to place fans on top of the action with fewer than one-third of the seats in the upper deck. To allow for a view of the downtown skyline, the field is oriented with home plate to the south and the outfield to the north, counter-clockwise from the Veterans Stadium orientation. All luxury suites are located between the foul poles with 60 percent of the suites placed in the infield.
Up to 400 bleacher seats sit atop an outfield pavilion similar to the team's past Shibe Park home.
The open-air design gives fans a clear view of the Philadelphia skyline, several miles up Broad Street. The main concourse boasts concessions with loads of Philadelphia flavor and clear views to the playing field.
There are also plenty of bells and whistles. A gigantic scoreboard rises from the left field seats and includes a 90-foot by 40-foot video screen that is the nation's largest for a baseball-only facility.
One of the major attractions is Ashburn Alley, an outdoor entertainment area dedicated to the Hall of Famer and former broadcaster Richie "Whitey" Ashburn. The area spans 625 feet along the entire outfield concourse. It will open an hour before the ballpark's gates on game days.
Philadelphia's baseball history is displayed in an area call Memory Lane, located in center field. This feature will honor the historic moments of the Phillies, A's and the Negro League teams in Philadelphia. At the end of Memory Lane, fans will get a close-up look at the bi-level bullpens.
One of the late additions to the ballpark's blueprints was a 50-foot by 30-foot Liberty Bell that sits above the rooftop bleacher seats. The bell, which towers 100 feet above street level, lights up in neon lights and sounds every time a Phillies player hits a home run. (Baseball, Facilities, Financial, MLBMLB, Professional Sports)
