That’s because your Philadelphia Phillies are moving to the Delaware River. Specifically, they’re building a new stadium at Delaware Avenue & Spring Garden Street, the huge parcel you’ve known as Festival Pier for many years. You may recall, the Delaware River Waterfront Corporation signed an agreement with developers back in 2015 to construct a mixed-use development on this site, with over 500 apartments and tens of thousands of retail space. You may have also noticed that said development has not moved forward, which inspired the DRWC to consider alternate uses for the enormous site. Inspired by owner John Middleton’s comments in November that the Phillies might be a “little bit stupid” about spending money on free agents in the offseason, DRWC President Joseph Forkin made contact with Phillies ownership at the end of last year to see if they had any interest in spending even more money on a new home on the waterfront.
