Expectations are sky high for the new look Phillies, and their ballpark has a slightly new look for 2019, as well.
With Bryce Harper, Jean Segura, Andrew McCutchen and J.T. Realmuto among the new faces slated to — hopefully — lead the Phils back into contention, Citizens Bank Park has had a bit of a facelift as well.
The gigantic 19-foot tall Liberty Bell, originally hung in Veterans Stadium, is back home and will greet fans outside the third base gate. The area also now has a beautiful indoor/outdoor beer garden named after the bell — the Pass and Stow.
Not far from that, a massive Shake Shack will serve fresh burgers, fries, shakes (and even their 'Shroom Burger), while a remodeled Phillies Clubhouse Store offers all the Phillies swag any fan could ever want.
Here is quick photo tour of what's new a the ballpark this season.
