With the Philadelphia Phillies' regular season right around the corner, we should take a look at some of the promotions the team is putting on for fans this season. Every year there are some popular giveaways that are definitely worth the trip to the ballpark.
If you haven't heard yet, the Phillies open the 2024 season at home, hosting the division rival Atlanta Brave for a three-game set on March 28 and then March 30-31, with a pair of giveaways to get things kicked off on the right foot.
If you're heading to Citizens Bank Park for Opening Day on Thursday, March 28, you can get yourself a Phillies scarf, which might come in handy if it's a typical brisk March day in Philly. This giveaway is for all fans in attendance, so there's no rush to get to the ballpark, unless you're itching to get baseball season started as soon as possible.
The second game of the series, on Saturday, March 30, features a McDonald’s Opening Night with Phillies T-Shirt giveaway. It's a red t-shirt emblazoned with "The Fightins" for fans 15 and over.
