Reading Fightin Phils, FirstEnergy Stadium
The Reading Fightin Phils offer affordable family entertainment from early April through August at FirstEnergy Stadium. Spend a night outside while watching the top Phillies prospects. The Fightin Phils are well known for creating a festive, fan-friendly atmosphere from the time the gates open until the bottom of the ninth inning. While parking is always free and the concessions remain affordable, every game is a unique experience. Enjoy one of our 30 post-game fireworks shows. Or bring the family for a Sunday Family Fun Day. Giveaways, fireworks and the five-member Fightin Phils Mascot Team keep things hopping throughout the season.
