Veterans Stadium in the mid 1970s. Fountains behind the centerfield fence, Phil and Phillis fireworks cannon for home runs, Schmidt's beer sign above the 700 level. General admission tickets $1.50 for adults and 50 cents for kids. Running the ramps. The picnic patio down the line in the outfield.

As a kid, the Vet didn't feel like a cookie cutter dump of a stadium, virtually identical to Three Rivers and Riverfront.
