The players have spoken about the home field advantage of The Brick Cit House, and it's not because of the homerun factor, it's the fans. Philadelphia fans get labeled many things and have a bad reputation, but ask the current squad how they feel about the 10th man and they'll all echo the same sentiment- they love us!!!

winning. that's where it's at.
a cool ballpark will fill up for a while, then fizzle if the team doesn't win. (see: baltimore)
big name players will fill a park for a while, usually right after the player signs, but if the team isn't winning, the attendance drops.
winning, on the other hand, never gets old.
Agreed, winning is the key ingredient. Citizens Bank Park is like a popular club nowadays with all the youngins that hangout there. Also, the signing of Cliff Lee this offseason added some extra excitement after a bit of a letdown to end the season.
I miss the good old days when you could walk up to the box office window and get a ticket for $20 dollars on the 3rd Base side - right at 3rd Base. circa 2001
Hell, when I lived in Philly I went to tons a games on the cheap. $8 seats at the Vet in the 700 Level, but then start working your way down as the game progressed. Good times. Of course the team sucked...
Ahh I remember those days in the 700 level. fun times. I'm starting to kick myself for not getting tickets yet
