I want to comment really briefly on the Vet’s implosion tomorrow. The Linc is a terrific stadium, but the Vet was home to the Eagles for over thirty years. There is nostalgia there. That was home. My fiancée got nostalgic when we moved out of our old apartment building despite the fact that we both hated the place because that was where we met. It meant something special. It wasn't just some place where we lived: it was where our love began.
Yeah, it may have been the worst stadium in the NFL, but the Vet was someplace special. The fistfights in the stands, the terrible playing surface, the uncomfortable seats … ignore all that. The Eagles played some great (and lousy) football in that stadium. It was home to our heroes. There were memorable moments.
Goodbye Vet, we’ll miss you.
