Veterans Stadium : field of memories
"Veterans Stadium was the outdoor sports capital of Philadelphia from 1971 until its demolition in 2004. At its best, the Vet spawned two of the greatest moments in the city's sports history - Tug McGraw's 1980 strikeout of Willie Wilson to win the World Series and the Eagles thrashing of the Dallas Cowboys to clinch their first Super Bowl bid. At its worst, it saw fans pelt Santa Claus with snowballs and the opening of an in-stadium branch of Philadelphia municipal court to deal with rowdy Eagles fans."
