Citizens Bank Park - Home of The Philadelphia Phillies

i checked thome's home/road HR splits and they're fairly even.

i think the stadium sux and hitters are spoiled little whiners. (see: petco park)

yeah, all of baseball to thread. for what it's worth, i don't see the big problem with shea--apart from the planes, it's a nice place to see a ballgame.

Tony Luke's (Ashburn Alley)
Old Philly-style sandwiches! Philadelphia's home of cheesesteaks, roast pork sandwiches and fries. [best cheesesteak in town, many argue! i like their roast pork. -m.]

how far is a jim's/pat's/(authentic) geno's from the CBP? let's say Dr. Morbius wanted to take a field trip?

Broad Street Line to Tasker-Morris
Walk on Tasker, going East to Passyunk Avenue
Turn left on Passyunk, go about 4-5 blocks

this sounds like a cliche: but you cant miss it. geno's has huge neon flames on its facade, pats is diagonal to that and there's a baseball field right next to them.

also, jim's is not in that pat's/geno's mecca of cheesesteak. it is on south street, which can be reached from the ballpark via the broad street line to south street, then a good hike east to the corner of 3rd and south (about 11 bloocks). i'm pretty sure there's a bus that runs right along south street, too.

south street, from about 8th to front street, is sort of a philadelphia cultural destination, with shops and eateries and freaks galore. it's advertised as the counter-cultural center of the city. (which i view with cynicism) but it is a good place to kill a couple hours in the city.

south street: if you go to eat there, try maoz. its a falafel place that serves it up cheaply and has a fixin's bar. otherwise, south street is only good for record shopping [spaceboy, phila record exchange] and coffee [supreme bean]. best place to grab a bite to eat in the area is the royal tavern, on passyunk, a few blocks south of south.

sights: nat'l constitution center, mutter museum, phila museum of art, institute of contemporary art, the gallery.

Watching BP was the highlight... David Wright is virtually the only Met worth watching before or during a game at this point. Vance Wilson scolded an autograph-seeking girl not to ask him while she's wearing a Yankee cap. Unfortunately there was a game, the Mets' 8th straight loss, 7-0 (mustering 3 hits vs Cory Lidle). Sat in short RF, upper deck.

Im making a trip to philly this summer. Anyone have thoughts on what seats will get the most bang for my vacation/beisbol dollar?

i enjoy that there'er no phillie phans/no one's started a new philz thread since 2008
