Stadium Tour: Citizens Bank Park

Hello sports fans!  We are back from our epic four parks in four days MLB stadium tour and I'm exhausted (and full)!  I cannot wait to share our memories of this amazing trip with you this week.  We had an amazing experience and it was so cool to travel around the East Coast and see what these different stadiums have to offer.  We are starting with Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia, home of the Phillies.  One of the first things we learned about Philly--there is baseball tailgating!  Tailgating is strictly forbidden in LA so it was a cool to see a different take on pre-game action!  The stadium in general has that old world feeling to it...

The Liberty Bell rings every time there is a home run, which is super cool.  There were some awesome details in the stadium, like this adorable bathroom sign...

And of course, there was yummy food.  We happened to be there on $1 hot dog night, so we did eat our fair share of good old fashioned dogs, but we also waited in line for the famous crab fries from Chickie's and Pete's.  Located in the outfield pavilion of the ball park, these guys were definitely tasty, though lacking in some of the crab flavor implied by the name.  That didn't stop us from eating them, of course.  The cheese sauce was awesome!

Once we had tackled dollar dogs, crab fries, beer and ice cream (more on that later), we were pretty stuffed.  But I had read all about the great food in Philly, so I grabbed a pic of this famous sandwich...

And got some brown sugar and cinnamon donuts to have for breakfast the next morning...

One of my fave parts of Philly was this awesome shirt we found...

We definitely enjoyed our time in Philly and at Citizens Bank Park.  Some great food and great scenery, plus the tailgating made the experience a lot more fun, getting to see the locals in their natural habitat!  Come back tomorrow for our tour of the world famous Yankee Stadium!
