Bright House Field

Originally known as Bright House Networks Field, Bright House Field is a baseball park that serves as the spring training camp of the Philadelphia Phillies. The facility occupies a total of 17.5 acres of space that was once a Home Depot site. Ground for the $25 million project was broken in 2002 and completed in 2004 after 14 months of construction. The title sponsor of the ballpark, Bright House Networks, is one of Florida's leading providers of cable television, home telephone, and high-speed Internet services.

Bright House Field combines classic Floridian architecture with state-of-the-art sports amenities, such as a video scoreboard. It features a seating capacity for 8,500 fans, including 7,000 fixed seats, along with grass-berm outfield seating. There are group picnic areas, a children's play area, a 360-degree main concourse, and Frenchy's Tiki Hut Pavilion in left field, too.

The distance from home plate to the left field fence is 329 feet. It is 330 feet to right and 408 feet to the heart of center field. Apart from the Phillies appearing here each spring, Bright House Field is also used as the home venue for their minor league affiliate, the Clearwater Threshers.

Bright House Field is located at 601 North Old Coachman Road, Clearwater, Florida 33765. The clubhouse, ticket office, executive offices, souvenir shop, and media center can be found in the administration building at the West Entry.
