Big Concrete Ashtray
This was a sports arena once considered better than good.
At least, it was located in a better neighborhood.
It's where the Phillies and Eagles would play.
From 1971 to 2003, the teams would stay.
The place reminded me of a big concrete ashtray.
Times changed for this famed sports venue.
In early 2004, Veterans Stadium had to bid adieu.
The Phillies staged an early Sunday morning event.
Phanatic pushed the plunger, and down the place went.
