A Guide to Citizens Bank Park
Citizens Bank Park is the home of the Philadelphia Phillies, located in the South Philadelphia Sports Complex and renowned for its intimate design and iconic city views. The stadium is celebrated for its fan focused layout and a reputation for having some of the best food in Major League Baseball.
Getting to the Ballpark
- SEPTA (The Broad Street Line)Take the Orange (Broad Street) Line southbound to NRG Station (formerly Pattison Avenue). It is the last stop and puts you within a 5-minute walk of the stadium. Sports Express trains run on game days, stopping only at major hubs (City Hall, Walnut-Locust) to get fans there faster. Most transit lines connect to the Orange Line at the City Hall/15th Street station. If you're coming from North Philly on regional rail transfer at Fern Rock Transit Center.
- Driving & ParkingThe stadium is accessible via I-95 and I-76. Abundant parking is available in this Stadium District
- Preferred LotsLots S, R, P, and part of Q are the closest to the main gates but only available to those with a Preferred Parking Pass. Preferred Parking is only available to season ticket holders or on the secondary market.
- General ParkingGeneral parking for cars and can be pre-purchased via the Phillies. All lots are cashless. Tailgating is permitted in the lots closer to Lincoln Financial Field, A-H, M, N & O. It is strictly prohibited in the lots north of Pattison Avenue (Lots P-X).
- Private LotsThere are also a number of private lots around the area that are often a few bucks cheaper and can be easier to exit from after the game. These are mostly cash only. Popular options include the Jetro Lot southeast of the stadium, Packer Foods to the northeast, SYCO Food Distribution Center one block east, and the Live! Casino Garage. The casino often offers a promotion where you can get the parking cost back in slot play if you show your receipt inside. If you arrive several hours before the game, parking may even be free
- RideshareThe designated rideshare pickup zone located on the west side of Darien Street in Lot T. Fans should exit the Third Base Gate and walk along Pattison Avenue toward Broad Street to enter the lot and request a vehicle
Pregame Festivities

Pregame Bars & Restaurants
