My First Ever Phillies Game

Last night Eric and I went to the Phillies game! It was the first time I have ever been to a Phillies, let alone an MLB game.
I never went to any professional team games in Dallas because they were all such a hassle to go to. Luckily we can easily take public transportation to all the stadiums in Philly.

Although I was really looking forward to the game, we picked the crappiest day ever. It was 50 degrees and rainy ALL DAY. Luckily by game time the rain had let up and we really only had to deal with the cold.

It was bobblehead night, and I was pretty excited to get a (free) souvenir from my first game.

Freeeeeezing.

I was really looking forward to eating a soft pretzel. Did you know that Citizens Bank Park is the number one veg friendly baseball stadium? They have veggie dogs, veggie burgers, "crab" cakes, "steak" sandwiches and pretzels!

The Phillies ended up losing (but the Flyers won!) but it was still a lot of fun. Hopefully my next baseball game will include some nicer weather.

That pretzel is massive!

The pretzel was giant and I smothered it in mustard and ate the entire thing! OM NOM NOM.

Fun! I love going to baseball games here. We only have a minor league team, but the stadium serves veggie dogs and giant ass cups of Blue Moon.

i love going to baseball games sometimes! i went to a mets game recently but they had such sad veg options.d

i haven't gone to a game since before they won the world series. i hope tix haven't gotten too pricey!

i couldn't find the veggie food, it must have been on the other side of the stadium from where i was sitting (i ended up just eating fries... and beer, heh).

Nothing wrong with fries and beer!
