Coca-Cola Park
Coca-Cola Park is a baseball park in Allentown, Pennsylvania. It is the home field for the Lehigh Valley IronPigs, the Triple-A level Minor League Baseball affiliate of the Philadelphia Phillies.
Coca-Cola Park accommodates 10,178 fans, including auxiliary areas (lawn, dugout suites, and Tiki Terrace), and cost $50.25 million to build. On March 7, 2007, naming rights to the stadium were awarded to the Coca-Cola Company Bottling Co. of the Lehigh Valley.
The stadium features the team "clubhouse" store, which sells team apparel. The Bacon Strip is an area immediately behind the right field wall that provides patrons the opportunity to stand and socialize during the game. The team's name is drawn from pig iron, used in the manufacturing of steel, a vital industry in the Lehigh Valley for most of the 20th century. References to the "pig" theme are used in the majority of concession stands and stores. The Picnic Patio is immediately adjacent to left field that features buffet style food and can be booked by groups. The club level of the stadium features an indoor concourse with access to the club level seats, the suites and the two party porches.
Dugout Suites are situated immediately behind home plate and slightly sunken in below field level. There is a kid zone with a playground area and a number of games, including speed pitch and slides.
In 2012, the park added the Tiki Terrace in Left Field over the bullpens which features large group seating, tables for four, and a bar area accessible to all ticketed fans.
The maximum capacity is 10,178, which includes 8,278 seats plus seating for 1,900 on the grass berm in center field. There is one main scoreboard which is located at the 400' mark on the field. The scoreboard consists of a 20' × 50' high definition video board, a 76' × 4' LED ribbon board, as well as a large Coca-Cola bottle, which also serves as a firework launcher when a run is scored.
In addition to its traditional stadium seating, Coca-Cola Park has a wide variety of seating options, including the grass berm, picnic benches, fold-down seats, and standing room. The initial estimate of the IronPigs stadium was $48.4 million. Its final price tag of $50.25 million, just four percent over the estimate, makes Coca-Cola Park one of the most expensive Minor League Baseball stadiums in the nation.
Groundbreaking ceremonies for the new ballpark were held on September 6, 2006, and construction was completed in February 2008. Coca-Cola Park was built on land formerly owned by LSI Corporation. The field dimensions and wall heights are similar to those at Citizens Bank Park in South Philadelphia differing in left field being six feet closer (323 feet, with the addition of the new "Pig Pen" seating section in 2015, to the foul pole compared to 329), center field being one foot shorter and the right field foul pole being five feet closer (325 feet in Allentown compared to 330 feet at Citizens Bank Park).
