Why show Connie Mack's demolition when discussing Columbia Park? Narrator sounds like he is talking while eating a sandwich in the next room.

Worst narration of all time. Hey guys either learn to read or visit your optometrist.Shea Stadium was slightly taller then Veteran stadium.Shea had 5 levels.

Did the narrator take lessons from Larry Bud Melman?

also, its comcast spectacore..not spectator. and the spectrum was NEVER featured in the rocky movies. Rocky was shot at the the old philadelphia civic center

[cowboyzsuk81]

at about 3:25 you said "new first union center" but before it was First Union it was the Corestates Center. so just a minor correction

[RAYNASTY2018]

Yes the spectrum is still here in philly and no its not open no more, there getting ready to demolish it within the next year.

[Dogman36]

You posted the picture of JFK (Municipal Stadium) with a baseball diamond wedged in. You can also find this photo at the music tribute to Dick Allen from Brazil (Echo's of November- Ana Volans- Brazil). Do you know when they attempted baseball there?
