PHILADELPHIA, PA (PRWEB) May 7, 2004 -- Sparks Exhibits & Environments, a leading provider of trade show exhibits and custom environments, announces the completion and debut of its multiple experiential display areas throughout the new Citizens Bank Park, the new home of the Major League Baseball team, the Philadelphia Phillies. From the ballparks outfield entertainment area, Ashburn Alley, to the upscale Hall of Fame Club, Sparks creative influence will soon become a baseball fans experience.

Were thrilled to have worked with the Phillies organization to create memorable fan experiences for this new landmark ballpark. Were certain that this ballpark will become the new gold standard for future parks to emulate," explains Jeffrey Harrow, Chairman of Sparks Exhibits & Environments. And as a Philadelphia-based custom environment design firm, we are honored to be associated with the Phillies and fully appreciate the legacy to which we have contributed."

Working with the Phillies organization and two additional firms, Sparks created several unique hallway experiences using state-of-the-art technology. From murals that illustrate the history of the Phillies, to a Phillies Wall of Fame, to Cooperstown Gallery, an upscale corridor with art, artifacts and technology, Sparks worked tireless hours to be certain that these experiential elements were delivered on time for the parks opening day.

Building a new ballpark is a complex task," said Joe Giles, Director of Business Development for the Phillies. Getting everything done on time for opening day can be a challenge. Sparks really came through for the Phillies at crunch time -- everything they did was on-time or ahead of schedule and it all looked great on opening day!"
