Book synopsis

In its thirty three years, Veterans Stadium was the most important sports venue in Philadelphia. It was the home of the Phillies, the Eagles, seventeen Army-Navy games, Temple football, plus such short lived teams as the Atoms, Fury, and Stars. The Vet was also the site of countless nonsporting activites too. Hailed as a technological wonder when built in 1971 and considered a relic when demolished in 2004, The Vet was where the city's greatest memories were created. Rich Westcott takes readers on a ride through the triumphs and heartbreaks that took place at the Vet, from the 1980 Phillies World Series win, to the 1980 Eagles NFC ride to the Superbowl, to immortal college football tournaments. "Veterans Stadium: Field of Memories" is both a chronicle of and elegy to a place that may not be missed, but is certainly cherished in the hearts of sports fans everywhere.
