Leah, are you referring to the one pictured here (Veterans Stadium in Philadelphia) or Lambeau Field in Green Bay?
As far as the Vet, it was poorly maintained and falling apart. In addition, it is a multi-purpose stadium (baseball and football) in an era that doesn't look favorably upon them anymore.
Incidentally, after the demolition of the Vet, the only two "cookie cutters" left will be RFK Stadium in Washington (where the Expos will play temporarily if they move there in 2005) and Busch Stadium in St. Louis (to be torn down in 2006).
