Vet implosion

"I watched the implosion of the Vet from my house. The stadium should have never been torn down."

"It was sad to see it go, but the Vet had to go down. It was old."

"I saw the Vet go down on TV, and all I was thinking was that it was not old and should not have been imploded."

"I felt sad to see the Vet come down. I will miss it being on Pattison Avenue."

Anthony Lamana,
19th and Wolf streets

"I saw the Vet being built, and then 30 years later I saw it come down. I will always remember the Eagles and Wilbert Montgomery."
