Veterans Stadium in Philadelphia is about to suffer the ultimate indignity of obsolete ballparks: implosion. You can watch the demolition live at 7:00 AM ET this Sunday, the 21st, on the web, and probably on an ESPN channel too. If you're in Philadelphia, it's going to be very hard to get close to the blast. The area will be blocked off and aggressively patroled. Some folks who live nearby have to be careful:
The contractor has also told those in the area who wish to remain in their homes to close doors and windows, seal vents, and be prepared to remain indoors for a period that could be as short as 30 minutes or as long as six hours or more - depending on the direction of the wind and when the city health department gives an all-clear indication.
They should wait for rain, then.
