i miss the Vet too along with the Spectrum. Pete Rose said, “All the newly built stadiums today are band-boxes. They are built to make more home runs.” The Vet was our cathedral when the Phillies were in town. Especially when Carlton was pitching, forget about it~~!!

Only Pete Rose would be nostalgic for a cookie cutter stadium.

No, they weren't! RFK Stadium was notorious for killing home runs. Frank Howard was one of the few hitters who could reach the upper deck.

I remember going to one of the last games there with my brother. It was my first and last game at the park. Still sticks with me till this day.

This dude didn't get brain cancer. So whatever caused it for baseball players like Tug and Dutch, wasn't found in storage areas

A sports venue like Veterans Stadium should have been upgraded if the Philadelphia Eagles were still playing there.
