Welcome
to the Metro Leagues crown jewel of ballparks. It was the countries
first baseball stadium built of concrete and steel. Ownership likes to
think that there is no better maintained ballpark anywhere. A 40 foot
wall known as the Jolly Giant
dominates right field. The surrounding area, once considered an urban
eye
sore, has undergone extensive renovation and has become a gentrified
community.
Day games start at
1pm. Night games start at 7pm..
City notes...
Philadelphia (Market size: Big) - a dynamic place
where big city excitement meets hometown charm. Famous as the
birthplace of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, the cradle of
liberty offers much more than cobblestone streets and historical
landmarks. Known as the 'City of
Brotherly Love', Philadelphia is a welcoming place, a city based on
freedom of expression. This big city has caught the
world's attention as an unforgettable experience.
Robins fans are fantastic. They
love their team and constantly sell-out the ballpark. However, the fans
who sit in the 'Robins Nest' (the second deck of the left field
bleachers ) can get quite nasty. They've adopted the tradition of
making up their own songs that include the name of the opposing
leftfielder. If the song catches on the whole ballpark will start
singing it in an effort to distract the targeted player in the field or
at the plate. It will become his anthem every time he visits the park.
The only way to stop the fans from singing his song is to become a
Robin. Tradition has it that the song is forever discarded after that.
