The Philadelphia Phillies are the hottest team in baseball right now. Kyle Schwarber's monster walk-off two-run home run on Aug. 23 capped a six-run ninth inning, giving the Phillies their ninth straight win.
Amid what once felt like a lost season, Philadelphia enters the new week sitting three games back of the Atlanta Braves for the top spot in the NL East. Schwarber has been the hero, but the rest of the lineup is starting to come around, too. When you pair that with a solid starting rotation, it will have fans believing in the team once again.
The franchise is looking to capitalize on the recent revitalization of this roster. Citizens Bank Park was rocking this past weekend as they swept the St. Louis Cardinals, and the organization is acting quickly to take full advantage (and potentially chart a path for playoff fun).
The Phillies are off to the West Coast for a nine-game road trip this week, but the team isn't allowing the distance to bar your excitement. Citizens Bank Park is hosting a watch party on Sunday, Aug. 30 as the Phillies face the Los Angeles Angels. The deal seems too good to be true, but the team appears to genuinely want the fans to continue riding this win streak.
Philadelphia Phillies to host watch party at Citizens Bank Park during road trip
At only $5, plus free parking, Phillies fans can watch the game in the Cadillac Hall of Fame Club. To up the ante, there will be guest appearances to view the game on the scoreboard alongside the fans, though it wasn't specified yet who will show up. Seems fun regardless.
Not only is this a unique event for Phillies fans, but this is the perfect opportunity for a test run for ownership. What kind of demand will a viewing party like this cause? If thousands of fans express interest in watching a regular season game on the road amid a winning streak, who's to say the Phillies won't roll this out again during the postseason?
Other sports franchises will open their doors in the playoffs when their respective team is on the road. It makes for a magnificent experience for the fans. So why shouldn't the Phillies join in on that trend, especially if this upcoming Sunday goes so well?
