It’s going to be a fun year at the ballpark.
The Phillies season is upon us and our defending NL East Champions have some very exciting things planned for the 2025 season including new concession offerings, theme nights, giveaways, and ballpark and gameday enhancements. The Phillies are always at the top of their game and this year is no exception.
Want to get to Citizen’s Bank Park early?
Now you can arrive even earlier than before! Monday through Friday fans can enter the Third Base or Left Field Gates 2 hour prior to game time. Saturday and Sunday you can get in 2.5 hours before the game! You’ll be able to take in Ashburn Alley, Pass and Stow, the Team Store and The Yard with all other gates opening 90 minutes prior.
GameDay Experience Enhancements!
Similar to Wells Fargo Center, the rings spanning above and below the suite level now have two new Daktronics RTX LED outdoor full-color displays totaling more than 6,800 square feet. This will feature real-time stats, interactive game prompts, out-of-town scores, and special effects during key moments during the game.
One of those key moments will be during the new Xfinity Home Run Takeover. After every Phillies home run, it will trigger a custom light show that will illuminate CBP. I was able to see this in action during a special preview and it is quite the experience that fans will surely love.
Don’t think CBP is “bumpin’” enough? The Phillies have added an additional 28 subwoofers to the Terrace and Pavilion Decks.
Theme Nights, Merch and Giveaways!
This is always the big highlight of the season because the Phillies are second-to-none in new and exciting offerings for fans looking to deck out in the coolest gear and collectables. This year is no exception. This year’s highlights include:

New Ballpark Food and Drink Partnerships!
Phillies have a ton of new partners this year with some excellent local ties:
There has been an outcry for coffee at the games for years and now your prayers have been answered with two excellent options:
- Alc-A-Chino Spiked Coffee – this will come with two options being Salted Caramel Harder Coffee and a Strawberry Acai Hard Refresher.
- Many Hands Coffee Company – a non-alcoholic option featuring their Cold Brew Mainstay Blend.
New Alcohol items are just as exciting with all options having local ties:
- Garage Beer – yes, Eagles’ legend Jason Kelce’s beer will now be available throughout the ballpark.
- Wrexham Lager – first we had Rob McElhenney’s Four Walls Whiskey last year, now we have his award-winning lager. This lager is only available in Wrexham and CBP making it an extra special treat.
- ZOMOZ – a premium mezcal from Oaxaca that has an investor of none other than 2008 legend Ryan Howard. This will be offered at bar locations throughout CBP.
There are a few new exciting food partnerships too:
- Liscio’s Bakery – the local legend will now the the sole hotdog bun purveyor of CBP. Every hotdog you eat will be on one of their lovely buns.
- Philly’s Best Steak – the local meat company will be supplying steak meat for sandwiches and other dishes throughout the ballpark.

New Food Creations and Exclusive Offerings from Aramark
Bull’s BBQ House Chips and Dip – fresh fried chips with a BBP blend of spices served with Grillo’s Pickle bacon dip. This was excellent with the standout being that fantastic dip. Bull’s BBQ will also have a rotating menu throughout the season with items like hush puppies, jerk chicken and rice, char siu pork sandwich, and andouille sausage kabobs.
Pass and Stow Cobb Salad – mixed lettuce, bacon, bleu cheese, hardboiled egg, pickled onions and avocado ranch.
Pass and Stow Crispy Chicken Sandwich – buttermilk-marinated chicken breast, pickled slaw and hot honey aioli. This was among the best things I tried during the preview event.
Kosher Grill Pulled Brisket Sandwich – Kosher Grill launched last season, but has moved behind Homeplate for 2025.
Kyle’s Cutlet Sandwich – also an excellent sandwich when I tried it. Located in Coca Cola Corner, the chicken cutler sandwich is topped with creamy burrata, crispy fried pepperoni, arugula, and topped with a sweet and spicy hot honey sauce on a Liscio’s roll.
PJ Wheelihan’s Onion Rings – their fantastic crispy onion rings served with an excellent creole mayo.
Four Walls Irish Coffee Tiramisu – served in the CP Rankin Club, the iconic Italian dessert is made with Rob McElhenney’s delectable Four Walls Irish Whiskey for an added twist.
Red Velvet Affogato – available in The Yard, these are red velvet cookies served with vanilla ice cream and espresso.
S’mores Quesadilla – available only in Coca Cola Corner, the anticipated hot new item is a crispy flour tortilla filled with Nutella, mini marshmallows and graham cracker crumble served with a chocolate dipping sauce. It was truly delectable.
On-field Ice Cream Caps – not necessarily a new food, but new souvenir ice cream batting helmets are available wherever ice cream or Dippin’ Dots is served. Will be a fun collectible for 2025 for sure.
