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.

Giveaways, fireworks and the five-member Fightin Phils Mascot Team keep things hopping throughout the season.

My family came as part of a group outing. So our tickets were free. The stadium itself feels kinda old. You can’t walk all around the stadium like some other minor league ballparks (Scranton Wilkes Barre). The food is garbage. It’s like high school cafeteria food. Very disappointed. They have a nice team store, plenty of dinner seating and the fans were well behaved. I honestly don’t think we would go again even with free tickets.

I liked the vintage feel. Another plus was free parking! Friendly staff, okay food, lots of opportunities to spend money. They loved their team their as evident by the number of fans in attendance and their support. It has all the regular ballpark foods available.

Stadium personnel were very friendly
I liked the vending locations. It had the old time stadium look. Best of all the R-Phillies won in the bottom of the ninth so we could see the fireworks. Affordable tickets. Free parking. Everyone took turns exiting the parking lots.

One of the better minor league ballparks with lots of entertainment. A pleasant surprise was not having to pay for parking. Many of the minor league stadiums don’t open long before the game starts. In Reading, you’re able to go in and see batting practice before the game. There were live bands on the days I was there. There are different promotions on different days. There aren’t many healthy food choices which isn’t uncommon at a ballpark. In right field, there’s a pool for kids; you have to buy tickets for that. But there are other free activities for kids on the backside of the stadium. I’m 2024 they’ll be an events center for rental in center field.

Been coming to see the Reading Phillies for 20 years plus. I even bought a brick in front of the stadium for my dad for his birthday. Tickets are cheap and there isn’t a bad seat in the house.

This was my very first minor league game. Very exciting venue for a business trip. It is a great experience watching the players fine tune their skills here. Next stop...the majors! ⚾

Went here for a baseball game with my family. I can’t say enough about this place. We added on the all you can eat buffet it was pretty basic but still did the job. The park was beautiful and everyone that worked there was friendly.

Tickets are as low as $5, so it's affordable to take the whole family. They don't allow outside food, but there are lots of choices for sale. Go early to get good parking...it's free, but can be tricky.

I recently attended yet another Reading Fightin' Phils game, my fifth this season. First Energy Stadium offers the best experience in minor league baseball, by far. Ticket prices are reasonable and family-friendly. I always add the pre-game buffet to my ticket so I can eat great ballpark food and then enjoy the game without having to visit a concession stand and miss some of the game. The games are very exciting and the Fightin' Phils always field a competitive team. They won the game I attended 4 to 2. This season, they made the playoffs. I've been coming to the games for many years now, and will continue to do so in the future. To me, this is the best value for money in baseball.

Watch the game. Eat good food. Even drink a cold beer if ya want. Lots of different food and drink choices to choose from. Lots for little kids to do and they even have a splash pool. Now how cool is that?

Where are the general admission seats located? Are they shaded at all?

All the answers are true. Sitting in Gen admission on 3rd base side was fine at least this time of year. No sun hits you. All on the first base side were in the sun. For a 7 o'clock start.

Taking kids tonight. Anyone aware if they are allergy (tree nut) friendly?
Written 31 August 2017
There are tons of options; as a mom who also needs to be aware of peanuts & tree nuts I usually just ask them at the concession if it’s an item I’m concerned about. We’ve gone many times and there are always plenty of treats I consider safe for my son.
