Citizens Bank Park is the Philadelphia Phillies' ballpark in the South Philadelphia sports complex, with Phillies home games in season and 75-minute ballpark tours on select dates.

A Phillies game is the whole day: tailgating lots open five hours before first pitch and the rest three hours before. The 75-minute tour goes where a game ticket does not, the Phillies dugout, the broadcast booth, the Media Room, the Philadelphia Insurance Club and the Cadillac Hall of Fame Club, about a mile of walking inside and out, rain or shine.
