Track Every Veterans Stadium Game You've Attended
Veterans Stadium was Philadelphia's shared Phillies and Eagles home from 1971 until the last catalog event in 2003. Ticket Timeline helps you log every game you attended there, even though the Vet does not stand.
This building is gone
A Veterans Stadium stub is not a leftover from a place that no longer matters. The night still happened in South Philadelphia, even though the Vet does not.
Veterans Stadium was the shared home of the Phillies and Eagles from 1971. Tickets said Veterans Stadium. Shibe Park was the earlier Phillies home. Franklin Field was the earlier Eagles ground.
The Eagles' last night here in Ticket Timeline's data is January 19, 2003. The Phillies' last night is September 28, 2003. The catalog marks lastEventYear 2003. The stadium was demolished in 2004.
Parking for Citizens Bank Park and Lincoln Financial Field occupies the Veterans Stadium footprint. Those later buildings stand next door, not on this slab.

Why track Veterans Stadium attendance?
If your stub says Veterans Stadium, that is this South Philadelphia bowl — it is gone, demolished in 2004. Phillies baseball here runs April 10, 1971 through September 28, 2003. Eagles football ran September 26, 1971 through January 19, 2003. Citizens Bank Park and Lincoln Financial Field are different buildings next door, not renames. Log baseball on the Philadelphia Phillies game tracker and football on the Philadelphia Eagles game tracker.
A Vet stub from the South Philadelphia sports complex is not a Citizens Bank Park night and not a Lincoln Financial Field ticket. Ticket Timeline helps you pin each game you attended in this bowl to the real matchup and roster.
- Log Phillies and Eagles games you personally attended in this building—not the parks next door.
- Keep Shibe Park tickets on that earlier Phillies home and Franklin Field tickets on that earlier Eagles ground.
- Keep Citizens Bank Park and Lincoln Financial Field tickets on those later buildings.
- Count those games toward your wider MLB and NFL venue progress.
- Import old stubs, spreadsheets, or Gmail confirmations instead of retyping every date.
