There’s no way the turf at Veterans Stadium in Philadelphia can get any worse. Only because it won’t be around next season. The NFL Players Association released its biennial ranking of NFL playing surfaces Thursday. And surprise: The Vet ranked worst in the league once more, giving it a clean sweep of the worst spot since the survey began in 1994.
“It's true,” NFLPA Executive Director Gene Upshaw said. “It’s a horrible field. Just awful.”
The stadium known for hastening the end of many careers — Wendell Davis, George Teague and Michael Irvin, to name a few —has hosted its last NFL game.
Much to the rejoicing of players around the league, it will be demolished after baseball season and replaced by a new stadium in nearby South Philly.
