Phillies End Dollar Dog Nights Amid Fan Backlash, Offer BOGO Deal

The team cites safety and security concerns due to unruly behavior as the reason for the change, sparking a petition for reinstatement.

The Philadelphia Phillies have ended their 27-year tradition of Dollar Dog Nights, replacing it with a BOGO hot dog deal for two games in April.
The decision was prompted by unruly fan behavior, including throwing hot dogs onto the field and clogging concourses, leading to safety and security concerns.
The promotion's cancellation has sparked widespread backlash among fans, with thousands signing a petition to reinstate Dollar Dog Nights.
Local TikTok personality Alex Pearlman, known as @Pearlmania500, played a significant role in mobilizing support for the petition.
Despite the change, other MLB teams, including the Pittsburgh Pirates, Minnesota Twins, and Texas Rangers, continue to offer similar dollar hot dog promotions.
