Citizens Bank Park - Philadelphia, PA

At the Ballpark:  Our family's cutouts are concerned about getting wet this weekend.  When they've showed close-ups of the cutouts on the TV broadcasts, it's clear they've been zip tied to the back of the seats, so at least they won't blow away.  If the Phillies continue to play poorly, I wonder if we could request our cutouts be moved to Bull's BBQ so we could at least enjoy a good virtual meal.
