About Philadelphia Sports
(Philadelphia, Pennsylvania - PA, USA)
The city's parks and gardens provide a perfect place for jogging, football and other sports. Philadelphia also has a large number of gymnasiums and exercise facilities which are fully equipped with weights, pools, tennis courts and other facilities.
Basketball is extremely popular with local residents and there are courts located all over the city. 'Street ball', an off-shoot of basketball, can be pretty rough and very competitive, so bring your best game if you want to play.
The city has a professional team in all four major American sports including American football, baseball, basketball and ice hockey. The Philadelphia 76ers basketball team and the Flyers ice hockey team both play at Wachovia Center, while the city's baseball team, the Phillies, play at Citizens Bank Park. The newly completed Lincoln Financial Field is the ultramodern home of the Philadelphia Eagles, the city's very own pro football team.
