Construction continues during the 1970 season on Philadelphia’s Veterans Stadium, which eventually opens in April 1971.
The Phillies stay at the Vet for 33 seasons before moving into a new ballpark that eventually will be built next door in time for the 2004 season.
The Vet’s neighbors here in 1970 – the Spectrum, middle, and JFK Stadium – are, like the Vet, now long gone.
