Phillies fans share excitement on Opening Day
FOX 29's Chris O'Connell was LIVE at Citizens Bank Park where fans shared their excitement to see the Phillies take on the Rangers for opening day.
PHILADELPHIA - With baseball season in full swing and fans returning to the stands, it's the perfect time to ask: where does your team's ballpark rank among the league's best?
Local perspective:
Citizens Bank Park came in 14th place out of 30 in USA Today's Major League Baseball stadium rankings for 2026.
The ranking claims that the home of the Philadelphia Phillies needs a better location, but gave a nod to the ballpark's unique Philadelphia feeling, cheesesteak availability and new video board.
Despite its No. 13 spot, the ranking does state that Citizens Bank Park has "one of the great stadium atmospheres, particularly in the postseason."
Big picture view:
The San Diego Padres' Petco Park grabbed the No. 1 spot after being dubbed the "perfect ballpark," while the Tampa Bay Rays' Tropicana Field came in last place.
