Phillies and Aramark Sports + Entertainment reveal what’s new in food, fan gear and the gameday experience for the 2025 season at Citizens Bank Park

Three days before the reigning NL East champs return for the home opener, officials from the Phillies and Aramark Sports + Entertainment, as well as team partners, unveiled all the exciting new enhancements surrounding the fan experience at Citizens Bank Park. The 2025 season also marks the 40^th year of the partnership between the Phillies and Aramark.

“This is about giving the best fans in baseball the best ballpark experience,” said Michael Harris, Phillies Vice President, Marketing & Government Affairs. “There is nothing like the atmosphere at Citizens Bank Park, and we are excited to amp up that energy level even more with the newest additions to our off-the-field lineup.”

The team has made several enhancements when it comes to state-of-the-art technology, immersing fans even more in the gameday experience. This includes new outdoor LED rings that span over 3,100 feet in length and wrap around the suite level of the ballpark, bringing instant, real-time access to ball-strike counts, scoring decisions, stats and much more. A fan favorite is sure to be the Xfinity Home Run Takeover, featuring an all-new Xfinity logo in right-center field and a custom light show synced to every Phillies home run. Fans will also experience the ballpark’s newly enhanced audio system, which will rock the house with its powerful low-frequency audio.

The season also features a new lineup of promotions and special events, along with enhancements to the award-winning ballpark menu, with new chef creations and a selection of offerings by new partners that include 2008 World Series champion Ryan Howard, former NFL star and podcast host Jason Kelce, and actor and producer Rob McElhenney, who is also co-owner of Wrexham AFC, among others.

There is also plenty of new fan gear available exclusively at the New Era Phillies Team Store including Opening Day merchandise, Phanatic swag and a high-end Phillies Fairway Golf Collection with product from Peter Millar, Travis Mathew, Johnnie-O and more. Custom bats by local renowned artist Bruce “The Bat King” Tatem have also been added to the lineup.

More exciting news for fans: the ballpark will open earlier for all to enjoy the new amenities and more, with gate openings here. Other features include the rebranded Cadillac Hall of Fame Club and Phillies Party Tent in the King Swings Courtyard, photo opportunities at a “Connecting Communities” mural in partnership with SEI, and an online auction benefitting Phillies Charities with signed player memorabilia. A full listing of what’s new is below.
