Not counting the Phandemic Krew cheering outside of the center field gates and keeping the Philadelphia Phillies fan spirit alive, the last time the team played in front of fans was March 12, 2020.
More than 350 days later, that will change when the Phillies’ 2021 Grapefruit League schedule gets underway on Sunday, February 28, away against the Detroit Tigers. The American League Central team recently announced that it will host approximately 2,000 fans per game at its spring training home, Joker Marchant Stadium in Lakeland, Florida.
