Phillies have a ‘big and bold dream’ for South Philadelphia Sports Complex development…
When the Philadelphia Phillies play at Citizens Bank Park, their fans frequently follow pre-game routines. Some prefer to arrive early and engage in tailgating in the parking lots. Some come early to meet up at another popular site in South Philadelphia or to grab food and drink at the multipurpose venue Xfinity Live! across the street. They’re all excellent choices.
But more options should soon be available at the Philadelphia Sports Complex, according to a recent news release from the Phillies that should excite fans.
The press release reveals a two-phase plan for a major land redevelopment surrounding Citizens Bank Park, Wells Fargo Center, and Lincoln Financial Field. The details of the project are outlined in depth in the press release, with phase one of the development scheduled to get underway early this spring. But phase two is the part of the development that Phillies fans should take note of.
In order to enhance the game-day experience, the Phillies and Comcast Spectator are working together on the second phase of the project, which will include new accommodations and entertainment options. The initial rendering made public by the Phillies illustrates how drastically the project will alter the sports complex area, which presently consists of undeveloped property and an extensive parking lot network.
While this project will surely thrill Phillies fans who use ride-sharing apps as their primary transportation to and from games, fans who rely on the paid parking lots surrounding CBP will probably not like how the team’s plans will affect some of the existing parking. Below is an excerpt of the press release that details the impact of the project closest to the ballpark.
