A USA Today panel recently got together to rank the MLB stadiums in terms of both quality and best food, and Philadelphia’s Citizen Bank Park was ranked handsomely in both lists, writes Damon C. Williams.

Citizens Bank Park was ranked the third-best MLB stadium, chosen as a top ballpark due to its amenities and overall vibe.

“Philadelphia Phillies games are a top attraction around here, but no visit to the park is complete without checking out Ashburn Alley, a site that’s packed full of local restaurants and baseball-themed interactive displays,” read a portion of USA TODAY’s “10Best” stadium rankings

Voters also favor Citizens Bank Park’s interactive elements, such as a 30-foot climbing wall, a bullpen speed pitch, the Hatfield Phillies franks Phanatic hot dog launcher, and the Citizens Phan Field.

In the same mold, Citizens Bank Park was also ranked third in the stadium food list.

USA TODAY praised how the ballpark showcases the city’s most beloved dishes.

“Phillies fans can enjoy classic favorites such as cheesesteaks and soft pretzels, as well as gourmet burgers, specialty sausages, loaded fries, and local craft beers,”  read a portion of USA TODAY’s “10Best” stadium rankings.

Citizens Bank Park has over 20 food vendors.
