On Friday, May 20, the Phillies will host the Los Angeles Dodgers for the first of a three-game series at Citizens Bank Park. The games will be held during Armed Forces Weekend, which is being celebrated throughout Major League Baseball. To pay tribute to our nation’s armed forces, players and on-field personnel will wear camouflage caps and socks.

Below is a look at all the promotions and Phillies fun surrounding the games. Plus, see below for other need-to-know information including safety guidelines, cashless parking details, ballpark entry permitted items and more.

Andrews, MD, FACS, Anthony Alfred Chiurco, MD Professor of Neurological Surgery.
