Gates to the stadium open three hours early, so you’ll definitely be able to watch some batting practice and get your picture taken with something World Series related in the background. Since the stadium is in the middle of lots and lots of asphalt, you’ll need to start the party within the park rather than a bar around the corner. Head through the gates and make your way to Ashburn Alley. There’s plenty of room to catch a home run and you can even play a giant version of baseball pinball. Just make sure you swing by the stadium’s Wall of Fame before taking your seats; it's just good karma.

· During The Game
Standing room-only seats are going for $320 on StubHub, so if those are the tickets you’re stuck with, you’ll need something to do between innings. The ballpark’s main concourse is open to a full view of the field, so you can try your best to get different viewpoints throughout the game. More importantly, this also means that you can check on the status of your Phillies while waiting in line to refill your beer.

The stadium also definitely understands ballpark food. They’ve been voted tops by the Food Network for ballpark eats, and PETA loves them for their vegetarian offerings. Despite the tasty veggie options like the Southwestern Veggie Burger, we say go for some meat at Bull’s BBQ. That’s right, skip the cheesesteak and enjoy ribs, turkey, and pulled pork from Major League Baseball’s largest grill. Just save room for Chickie’s and Pete’s Crab Fries.

· After The Game
After the game, just walk across the parking lot to pay your last respects to Philadelphia’s Spectrum. The arena has been hosting hockey, basketball, and concerts since the 1960s. Pearl Jam is closing things down on Saturday night, so if the game ends early, maybe you’ll have time to catch the band’s encore.

For a little more realistic after party action, head to Rittenhouse Square to check out the debut of Hotel Palomar. The place is brand new and our pals over at HotelChatter were there just the other day to take in the new hotel smell. Just don’t try to stay there since it’s very sold out. Instead, toast to a Phillies victory (or drown yourself in sorrow) with one of 15 draft beers at Devil’s Alley. They’ve got good food too, just in case you skipped the Crab Fries back at the park.
