Exciting Philadelphia Professional Sports Team Could Be Added

The rumors have been confirmed, we could be getting a new Philadelphia professional sports team! How exciting! Here in town, we have the Phillies, Eagles, 76ers, Flyers, and Union. So we've got all of the major sports covered but there is one thing missing!

On Monday, April 15th, the WNBA held their draft. Naturally, Caitlin Clark was taken first in the draft by the Indiana Fever. In fact, Luke Combs even posted a message to Clark on X (formerly Twitter), you can see his kind words here!

Women's basketball has been on the forefront since the exciting season that Caitlin Clark had for Iowa. They made it to the National Championship game before losing to the undefeated South Carolina women's basketball team.

Caitlin Clark, this season, passed the all-time scoring record for men's and women's basketball. A lot of eyes are going to be on the WNBA which is exciting considering very big news from the commissioner of the league.

It was announced during the WNBA Draft festivities by WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert. The league currently has 12 teams but it hopes to expand to 16 by 2028.

Currently, there is not a women's major sports professional team, but it looks like that could change. Currently, they are looking at Philadelphia, Toronto, Denver, Nashville and South Florida. As mentioned earlier, they are looking to expand to 16 teams by 2028, and there are five listed here.

The WNBA has 12 franchises; Atlanta Dream, Chicago Sky, Connecticut Sun, Indiana Fever, New York Liberty, Washington Mystics, Dallas Wings, Las Vegas Aces, Minnesota Lynx, Phoenix Mercury, and Seattle Storm.

Do you think that Philadelphia should fight to get a WNBA team in our town?

Citizens Bank Park became the home of the Philadelphia Phillies 20 years ago, and the ballpark will debut new food and special merchandise options as part of a year-long milestone celebration.

Jim Thome and company christened the ballpark in 2004. Ryan Howard helped bring a World Series to Philadelphia in 2008, and Bryce Harper hopes to bring another. While the most passionate MLB fan base watches the Fightin’ Phils, they can also enjoy the best eats of any MLB ballpark.

Nothing can replace the good old American hot dog. Peanuts and crackers might be another tradition, but why limit youself given the incredible list of food options at Citizens Bank Park?

You’ve tried Bull’s BBQ and Chickie’s and Pete’s crab fries for two decades at the home of the Philadelphia Phillies. You’ve probably mixed the classics with newer options like the Schwarburger. Combine it all with brand new options like the bratwurst sandwich or the buffalo chicken hoagies from Greens and Grains.

If you’re feeling up to it, wash it down with one of those crazy beer bats while you’re at it. Do anything that helps you enjoy the crack of the bat and the summer atmosphere.

It’s all part of the Citizens Bank Park experience when the Phillies are back in the conversation as a World Series contender.

Dan Baker rolled out his best Harry Kalas impersonation to introduce former Phillies great Mickey Morandini. The Phillie Phanatic, of course, won’t miss a beat or a good food option at Citizens Bank Park this summer. The classic ballpark atmosphere will send chills down the spines of Phillies fans from Opening Day through Red October.

The summer serenity of the ballpark hits Philadelphia as much as the Jersey Shore or a celebration of America’s birthplace on the 4th of July. Citizens Bank Park is once again the place to be.
