Main article : Ashburn Alley Philadelphia Baseball Wall of Fame Behind center field is Ashburn Alley , named after Phillies Hall of Fame center fielder Richie Ashburn , who played for the team from 1948 to 1959 and was a Phillies broadcaster from 1963 until his death in 1997 . It is seen by Phillies fans as a compromise between the Phillies and their fans , many of whom wanted Citizens Bank Park named in honor of Ashburn . Ashburn Alley is named for the slightly-overgrown grass which bordered the third base line at Shibe Park where Ashburn was famous for laying down bunts that stayed fair . The new Ashburn Alley , located near Ashburn 's defensive position , is a walkway featuring restaurants , games and memorabilia from Phillies history . Ashburn Alley also features a memorabilia shop and a large bronze statue of Ashburn directly behind center field , as well as the U.S. flag , the flags of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the City of Philadelphia , a POW/MIA flag and the flags from the Phillies ' championships ( below ) .
Citizens Bank Park is a baseball stadium located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, within the city's South Philadelphia Sports Complex. It is the home of the Philadelphia Phillies, the city's Major League Baseball (MLB) franchise. It opened April 3, 2004, and hosted its first regular-season baseball game on April 12 of the same year, with the Phillies losing to the Cincinnati Reds, 4-1. The ballpark was built to replace the 33-year-old, now-demolished Veterans Stadium, a football/baseball multipurpose facility, and features a natural grass-and-dirt playing field and a number of Philadelphia-style food stands that serve cheesesteak sandwiches, hoagies, Tastykakes, soft pretzels, Yards and Yuengling beer, and many other regional specialties. The ballpark lies on the northeast corner of the Sports Complex, which includes Lincoln Financial Field, the Wells Fargo Center, and Xfinity Live!, the Center's adjacent theme park and food court. The stadium seats 42,792.
