Citizens Park Shakeup Brings the Excitement

Phillies games will be more fun than ever, as the team and Aramark pair up to revitalize Citizens Park, which is the large seating area adjacent to Citizens Field. What used to be the eatery McFadden’s is closed, and, in exciting news, a brand new beer garden and burger joint will be filling the space.

From the Philadelphia Patch:

The 24,500-square-feet of space adjacent to the Third Base Plaza will be turned into Pass and Stow: a new area that features an outdoor beer garden and bar, Foundry Pizza serving brick-oven pizza, a family-friendly sports pub, 44 TVs to catch game action, and more.

The “more” includes a location of the perennially-popular Shake Shack, which features burgers and delicious milkshakes on order and seating for a healthy crowd of 120 people.

Pass and Stow will be the place to pre-game, and will appropriately open two hours before the start of each home game. The good times will roll until the game ends. Shake Shack ‘s operating hours will be during normal home game hours. Other features will be a lit Phillies-themed fountain, a firepit for cozying up on cool evenings, a pergola, and sitting/standing room for hundreds of fans.

“We are always striving to make the Phillies fan experience the best in baseball,” said David Buck, Phillies Executive Vice President. “With this, we are excited to partner with Aramark to bring an outdoor beer garden to the ballpark, complete with an open-patio concept and backyard type feel. Pass and Stow’s sports pub and Shake Shack are also great additions for our fans. Not only will these social spaces feature a wide array of food options, but also fun design elements that tie into Phillies history and Philadelphia’s iconic Liberty Bell.”

Pass and Stow will be completed in time for the Phillies’ home opener against the Atlanta Braves on March 28th.
