Philadelphia Phillies end Dollar Dog Night promotion, replace it with BOGO night

The Philadelphia Phillies, trying to have a "positive experience for all fans in attendance," have decided to replace Dollar Dog Night with Hatfield Phillies Franks BOGO Nights.

After a 27-year run of Dollar Dog Night, the Phillies are offering fans the ability to buy one hot dog and get another for free. The cost of a hot dog at Citizens Bank Park is $5.

The BOGO nights are:

  • Tuesday, April 2, vs. Cincinnati Reds at 6:40 p.m.

  • Tuesday, April 16, vs. Colorado Rockies at 6:40 p.m.

Last year during Dollar Dog Night, a food fight broke out at Citizens Bank Ballpark and was caught on social media. Phillies fans were caught on social media holding a food fight with hot dogs.

The ending of the beloved promotion did not sit well as fans took to social media.

Some fans were understanding of Phillies' move and blamed rowdy fans for the decision.

Of course, others were just pleased not to be tempted by gluttony.

Philadelphia Phillies add other promotions

Along with BOGO Nights, the Phillies have added several additional promotions to the 2024 schedule.

Among the biggest is a Phillies double-decker bus giveaway for children 14 and younger on Saturday, June 1. The Phillies face the St. Louis Cardinals at 7:15 p.m.
