The Phillies stadium may still be filled with a sea of red this season after all

Opening Day for the Philadelphia Phillies is less than one more away, and, unlike in years past, Citizens Bank Park will not be filled in a sea fans wearing red attire. However, the color could still ubiquitous throughout the venue, but rather as cardboard cutouts.

While fans cannot attend games in-person, the Phillies organization is reportedly looking into ways to keep them somehow linked to the ballpark, which each season of the previous decade had an average attendance of more than 23,000, according to Statista.
