Coming Soon To Phillies Games: Full Capacity, Tailgating And More

PHILADELPHIA — Good news for Philadelphia Phillies fans: Citizens Bank Park will return to full capacity fan attendance next month. According to the Phillies, the park will welcome its normal capacity of 43,035 when the New York Yankees come to town on June 12 .

The team said a limited number of seating pods will be available for fans who prefer to remain in a socially-distanced environment. And to make things even more exciting, tailgating will once again be allowed in the parking lots around the ballpark.

The announcement comes on the heels of city officials saying all coronavirus restrictions, save for mask usage, will be lifted in Philadelphia on June 11. Read more about the lifted restrictions here.

Face coverings are still required when attending games, per city guidelines.

Before the park has full capacity, it will increase seating capacity from 11,000 to 16,000 on May 21 for the game against the Boston Red Sox. The 16,000 capacity will run through the series against the Washington Nationals (June 4 through June 6) and Atlanta Braves (June 8 through June 10).

Season ticket holders will be notified about their seating locations in the coming days.

Single-game tickets are on sale for games through June 10 and tickets for the rest of the 2021 season will go on sale May 25.

"This is a very exciting time in the City of Philadelphia as we begin to return to some sense of normalcy," Phillies Executive Vice President David Buck said. "There is nothing better than the energy and enthusiasm that Phillies fans bring to Citizens Bank Park. We look forward to welcoming even more fans back to enjoy the ballpark experience."
