When Spectrum Field opens its doors for the first exhibition game of the 2020 Grapefruit League season on Sunday, the Philadelphia Phillies’ beloved Phillie Phanatic mascot will not be the only thing with a new look.
“This offseason, we’ve made some great new additions to all the fandom surrounding the game,” says Phillies Director of Florida Operations John Timberlake, who adds the team’s spring training experience “keeps getting better.”
Enhancements to the Clearwater, Florida-located ballpark include new amenities, menu offerings, beer and specialty drink options, and Spring Training gear.
Protective Netting
In an effort to protect fans from stray balls and bats that leave the playing field, the Phillies have extended 14-foot high protective netting down both foul lines.
