The Vet is much more suited for football. The sight lines are much better due to the "cookie cutter" configuration. These types of multi-purpose parks are loathed in the baseball world, but quite accepted in the football world. The field level stands are on rollers and roll out towards the outfield. The fences come down as do the bullpens. Just like that 1,2,3 now you can play football. The parking is a lot worse for Eagle games than Phillies games. I guess it's a lot easier to park a crowd of 15,000 than 65,000.
Stadium Rating--B (for football)
