Phillies debut everything new for fans at Citizens Bank Park ahead of 2024 season
PHILADELPHIA – Officials rolled out the red carpet for fans at Citizens Bank Park on Monday as part of a larger event celebrating everything new for Phillies fans this year ahead of Opening Day on Thursday.
“We can’t wait to celebrate the start of the 2024 season,” said Phillies PA announcer Dan Baker.
Opening Day is set for March 28 at Citizens Bank Park vs. the Atlanta Braves. The start of the 2024 season marks 20 years for the Phillies at Citizens Bank Park.
A table at the front of the room inside Pass and Stow showcased everything fans can look forward to. New player, Phanatic, and Phillies-themed gear and merchandise were on display, in addition to new promotions, giveaways, and food and drink creations.
Some of the new food items this year include the Schwarsburger 2.0 and a bratwurst sandwich. New partners are also coming on board too, like Briganti Wines, Big Mozz, and Primo Hoagies.
Part of the fun is also the free stuff. Fans can look forward to theme nights, scarves, t-shirts, hats, and items connected to their favorite players.
This season the Phillies technology team is also making major enhancements to the fan experience. This includes new digital technology on the field and an expansion of facial authentication technology where your face is your ticket.
“Go Ahead Entry” will now be available at the Third Base and Left Field Gates.
Fans can even look forward to new art. Colombian-born artist and South Jersey resident Jose Bustamante won a mural contest for his work entitled “Next Generation.”
