Spaceman Spiff 0 Report post Posted March 20, 2004 In a way, I'll miss the Vet. The only home baseball stadium I"ve known, and I've seen countless games there. Can't wait to see a game at the new place, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the pinjockey 0 Report post Posted March 20, 2004 I think all of the major stations (CBS, ABC, NBC, and Fox) are covering it. As well as Comcast, who I think is having a two hour Vet retrospective afterward. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Papacita 0 Report post Posted March 20, 2004 My brother used to work at the Vet back in the day. I remember the time he got me an Eagles practice ball signed by a few of the players. I wonder whatever happened to that ball? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

the pinjockey 0 Report post Posted March 21, 2004 Easily. That is one of the reasons it was a great place. Visiting teams literally feared for their careers just stepping out on the field. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

EVIL~! alkeiper 0 Report post Posted March 21, 2004 Its all over. Fun times for all. Greg Luzinski and the Phillie Phanatic did the honors, and the stadium refused to go down. Actually, it took the planned 62 seconds, and its all a pile of rubble. It'll take them about six months to completely clear the rubble. EDIT: I'd be remiss if I didn't mention Philly spectators dropping the F-bomb in the process. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EVIL~! alkeiper 0 Report post Posted March 21, 2004 I find this amusing. One guy screams "fuck you" when the Vet falls. Every time they show the replay with that guy in earshot, its still there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
C Dubya 04 0 Report post Posted March 22, 2004 Somehow I managed to drag my ass out of bed at 6:30 to get down there on time to see it. It was fucking amazing to see come down. Looked like it was clockwork. Tons of people out too. Quite a display. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
