Road Trip to Citizens Bank Park
As you gaze over the field at Citizens Bank Park, you get good sight
lines, and a pleasing view of the Philadelphia skyline in the
not too far distance. With wide concourses, a good selection of food,
beverages, but not all the vendors appear at all levels and they aren't
open for all games,
so one may need to take a lengthy trip back downstairs to get the beer of
choice, so if you see one you like on the way to upper decks, buy it then.
I didn't look for single malt scotch, but the draft microbrew was
appreciated on the hot humid day I was there (actually, so was the diet
soda). Seats are comfortable, staff was friendly.
The park is easy to reach: take the
SEPTA Orange line
south from downtown for extremely easy access, though there is also ample
parking and the ballpark is right off
the freeways.
