Even though a lot of players complained about the Vet, so much history happened there. Funny how players and even some owners grow up playing in the street, maybe using a broomstick for a bat or a an old tennis ball for a football and it's no problem then. Now they have to play on a Kentucky/Rye grass blend with a sand/topsoil base and an elaborate drainage system underneath it or a FieldTurf surface. Ah, how times change...
