Now called Subaru Park, Subaru Park is actually located 'downriver' from Philadelphia in Chester, PA. It is just south of the Commodore Barry Bridge, a known landmark in the area. The stadium is sold out for practically every game, and the loyal and rowdy "Sons of Ben" fans guard the "River Side". Sit near them to get a feel for European Soccer Passion in the US.
