The stadium belonged to the city of Philadelphia and was used from 1971 to 2003 by the MLB team Philadelphia Phillies and from 1971 to 2002 by the NFL team Philadelphia Eagles as a home. Ten years after the departure of the Philadelphia Athletics and for fear of losing another professional team, the citizens of Philadelphia approved $ 25 million in 1964 to the dilapidated Shibe Park And to replace the Franklin Field. The construction had to be confirmed again in 1967 due to budget overalls. With total costs of $ 50 million, it was one of the most expensive stadiums at this time. In 1968 the stadium was named in Veteran’s stadium by the city council in honor of the veterans of all wars. The Phillies played their first game in the Veterans Stadium on April 10, 1971 and won in front of 55,352 spectators against the Montreal Expos with 4\u20131.
