Tastykake Stadium, commonly referred to as "The Oven", is the stadium of the Philly Pies. It is known for its zero food waste policy. All food waste is recycled. Any would-be food-wasters caught by the security team are punished with necessary force. When entering the stadium, blaseball-goers will notice the words "Crust the Process" emblazoned on the entrance gate.

Tastykake Stadium formerly housed one of the league's only in-stadium jails, the Pienitentiary, but the Philly Pies have embraced the prison abolition movement and the jail has since been converted into a community center featuring rooms available to rent for local organization meetings and youth groups. A small portion of the Pienitentiary has been preserved as an exhibit space for tours of stadium history.

This part of the Pienitiary is conneccted to a labyrinthine series of halls beneath the stadium. Few who enter this area, often called "The Hypocaust", ever return, and those who do rarely want to talk about it. Because of this, it has been cordoned off. Nevertheless, a "game" has emerged among teens within driving distance of Philadelphia called the "Philly Challenge," which involves driving to Tastykake Stadium after a school day has started, entering the Hypocaust, and returning to school before the final bell rings. The Philly Challenge has never been successfully completed.

By pushing the nose on the hidden eighth gnome in the community garden, a secret stairway leading below the stadium is revealed. This leads to the Piebrary, the Philly Pies library of pie recipes collected, curated, and stolen from all over this world and others. It is said that every pie recipe - the delicious and the terrible - can be found inside the Piebrary if you are willing to delve deep enough. Sometimes when there isn't a game going on you might catch a glimpse of the Philadelphia Philling prancing merrily through the shadowed shelves.

After former Pies player Hobbs Cain was incinerated at the start of Season 8, the eldritch goose creature known as the Wawaiathan was seen endlessly circling the skies above Tastykake Stadium, accumulating a steadily growing mass of crows in its wake. On the day of the Season 8 election, the flock suddenly descended to roost en masse in the upper deck rafters. During the siesta following that season, it's been reported that the birds have begun to intervene helpfully in the Pies' practice sessions.
