A biased review of the Vet

by whitty Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Jan 25 '02
Pros: the fans are crazed; mmmm cheesesteaks
Cons: the fans are crazed

In honor of the Eagles making it to the NFL Conference Championship to be played against the Rams this Sunday, I decided to write an Epinion about the Eagles home -- Veterans Stadium.

The basic info
Veterans Stadium is home...

Vets Stadium Soon to be gone?

by djsplendid Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, May 24 '00
Pros: new seats, great place to see a game
Cons: old, kind of run down, astroturf
I grew up in and around Philadelphia, going to Veterans Stadium was a mere trip across the bridge from Jersey, or a quick hop on the train from Philly. Eagles games, Phillies games and most notably, Army vs Navy football games and numerous concerts are...

If We Fixed the Building, People Might Notice the Real Problem: The Fans

by Sloucho Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Mar 20 '01
Pros: Taking an enemy to a game and accusing him of being a Cowboy fan.
Cons: Are you ready to be tried as an accomplice to murder?
Is it altogether necessary to beat up a Dallas Cowboy fan at an exhibition game between the Eagles and the Falcons?

Believe me, I think it's important for all of us to acknowledge that Dallas Cowboy fans deserve to be beaten up. But when it...

. . .neither man nor beast

by fuche_bu Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Dec 28 '00
Pros: lots of great memories
Cons: dilapidated piece of--
I remember when I was a lad and I would get to attend Phillies games at Veteran's Stadium. Back in the 70s this was a state of the art stadium. We always marveled at the Vet in those days. Back then, Philly faithful held their heads high and...

NFL Football,WaWa,Ketel One,Cadillac:Story of 10.8.00

by pearl3147 , Oct 17 '00
Pros: great view of field from even cheap seats
Cons: stop selling at 1/2 time
The day started at the break of dawn. The Cadillac Fleetwood had been filled and was eager to turn it loose on the highway, the coolers had been artfully stocked with $.99 bottles of Miller Genuine Draft, Heineken, Fosters, Boddingtons, and an...

Just about as bad as you've heard.

by Pavel21 , Aug 04 '03
Pros: It's Major League Baseball. Philly Phanatic.
Cons: The stadium.
Veteran's Stadium in Philadelphia is going to be deserted and demolished at the end of this season. ...

The Vet is not a stadium, its an event!

by darthmike12 , Jan 08 '03
Pros: Easily accessible, high energy crowds
Cons: Expensive and average food, it's closing down
Veterans Stadium has long held the dubious title of the world's "ugliest" venue to watch a game. The term "ugly" has a double meaning in this case, referring not only to the eyesore called the Vet, but also the fans who pack the joint on any given...

No respect for THIS Veteran!

by Slayer19 , Jul 20 '02
Pros: Easily accessible by car or train; can be intimidating to visiting teams
Cons: An utter lack of charm; some of the highest seats in sports
NOTE: Veterans Stadium is no longer in service, in fact, it was imploded (spectacularly, I might add) in March 2004...which turns this Epinion into a nostalgia piece. I hope you enjoy it.(4/16/04) In baseball, the names Wrigley Field, Fenway Park, and ...

They paved paradise and put up a parking lot (well they soon will)

by onerunner2 , May 20 '03
Pros: Loved by those who regularly go there
Cons: Hated by those who don't
I would like to call Veterans Stadium (the Vet) a timeless baseball icon. But honestly, the only thing Veterans Stadium as a building is good for is to remind people why cookie-cutters and astro-turf should never be built. Making the matter worse, the...

Is it really as bad as they say ?

by kevl8op , May 20 '00
Pros: Nothing to good about it
Cons: Nothing to bad about it
Whether you are a Phillies fan or an Eagles fan you have had to deal with good old Veterans Stadium. The majority of people who deal with this stadium have stated they don’t like it what so ever. I somewhat agree with them. The only people who don’t...

Why bother?

by madeluca , Jul 30 '02
Pros: The new artificial turf is an improvement over the old stuff.
Cons: Dirty. Poor facilities. Overpriced and substandard refreshment offerings.
I've been to The Vet more times than I care to admit. The best part about going to a Phillies game is that you can get a good seat with an $8 General Admission ticket because few people are willing to pay good money to watch the Phils play in the Toilet...

If You Want To Attend A Game Here You Better Take An Uzi

by hwz1 Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 50, Jan 22 '00
Pros: Ah, let me think...none
Cons: The area is a warzone, fans are nuts, views are mediocre
We have all heard the players gripe about how bad the Vet's field is, but would you believe the stadium is even worse. Some of the stories that come out of the Vet are amazing and the main drawback is the area where the stadium is located.

My lord, this is a ballpark?

by I_Like_Cheese , Sep 26 '00
Pros: Ticket price, availability
Cons: Have You Seen the Place?
Let's get this straight from the start: the Vet is a dump. Anyone who tells you otherwise hasn't seen baseball played outside of Philly recently. This is not a knock on the Phillies who, despite their problems this year, have had some wonderful...

by pakkiemal , Nov 09 '00
Pros: great stadium in every way
Cons: absolutely nothing...we don't want you high class judgemental ppl in philly anyways
The sound of obscenities being yelled left and right...broken beer bottles and debris all over the place...a struggle to live...we must be in the ghettos of New York City or LA right? WRONG. We are in attendance at Veteran's Stadium in Philadelphia, PA...

big, bland concrete building

by michaelh18 , Sep 02 '00
Pros: good parking
Cons: boring, bland building, lack of environment
recently, I went to Philly to see the Phillies play the Arizona Diamondbacks. The stadium is right off the highway and is easily accesible. What you will see, though, won't take away your breath or make you gasp in amazement, unless you like round,...
