Aside from the confusing lineup, Phillies fans were greeted with several surprises at Citizens Bank Park as they arrived for Opening Day. While ownership alluded to changes to the 14-year-old stadium, many of them were secret.
Perhaps the biggest change is the relocation of the Toyota Phillies Wall of Fame, which moved from Ashburn Alley to the Left Field Gate entrance. Instead of being tucked away in a confined location next to the bullpens, the Wall of Fame is now wide open with several new additions. Retired numbers are honoured with large markers, championship banners are displayed above, and there is finally room for expansion when a new generation of players are inducted.
