: I'm not 100% on this, but I believe the stadium no longer adhered to modern safety standards.

reasons. I know they fought for years about where to build the new stadium. I'm not a sports fan but I heard things, from time to time, but never cared enough to find all of the details. The last Philly stadium I went to was Connie Mack and that was 1958. I used to go to baseball games with my father when I was a kid. Then, other interests overtook baseball.
