The Citizens Bank Park is a 43,500-seat baseball-only stadium in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania that opened on April 3, 2004 and hosted its first regular season baseball game on April 12. It was built to replace the now-demolished Veterans Stadium (a football/baseball facility) and is the home of the Philadelphia Phillies baseball team. The ballpark features natural grass and a dirt playing field. There are many philly style restururants there including some that feature cheesesteaks. Behind center field is Ashburn Alley, named after Phillies great and hall of famer Richie Ashburn. It is a walkway featuring restururants and memorabilia from Phillies history.
