Take Me Out to the Ballgame

Baseball is back! After a lengthy lockout and delay to the start of the season, the 2022 Phillies home opener is Friday, April 8 against the Oakland Athletics.

Citizens Bank Park will again have a dedicated gluten-free area. This season, the gluten-free cart is located at Section 122, behind home plate directly across from Guest Services. Expect a similar menu as in past years, with hot dogs, cheesesteaks, cookies and other snacks. Chickie's & Pete's Crabfries at Ashburn Alley and Sections 208 and 319 are prepared in dedicated fryers.


KLYR rum, a new gluten-free distilled spirit made in York County, Pennsylvania, will be sold at stands throughout the ballpark this year.

Meanwhile, Ocean City's own Manco & Manco has replaced Seasons Pizza as CBP's pizza purveyor. While its stand in Ashburn Alley will offer gluten-free pizza, I am still waiting to learn more about preparation, so stay tuned.
