Citizens Bank Park
Its location isn't exciting, but the attention to detail certainly is!
Since the Phillies moved into Citizens Bank Park, the baseballs have
been flying out of it and fans have been pouring into it. This homer haven
isn't located in a spot as special as the sport deserves, but once you're
inside, you won't care. You'll find more nice touches than you'll be able
to take in during a single visit to the park that has been nicknamed "The
Vault."

In one interesting way, Philadelphia's new park has a decided advantage
over the other new park in the Majors in 2004, San Diego's PETCO Park.
The "PR Machine" for Citizens Bank Park is almost unstoppable!
It began before a shovel-full of dirt had been moved in South Philly,
and continues to this day. From Web coverage to press releases to multimedia
presentations to color brochures on the park's features, the public-relations
effort on behalf of this stadium is breathtaking. Of course, coming from
Veterans Stadium, there's a great story to tell about how much better
everything is in the new digs!
Join us for BASEBALLPARKS.COM's full review of the the park
that made Phillie fans forget the Vet (as if that's hard to do!).
