The vet was always right off 95 too. They're located in the same place. The Linc was built no further away from the Vet than I can hit my driver on a day with no wind.
They demolished the vet shortly after both Citizen's Bank Park and the Linc were completed. Where the Vet used to sit is now used as parking.
But yes the Linc is much nicer. There's still a knucklehead contingent of Philly fans but since they won the SB last year the crowd has been appeased somewhat. I hear of less of the nasty behavior this year than I always did in previous years.
That's not to say it won't be a hostile environment, it still will. But now fans here seem to be like faux nasty because they feel like they have a reputation to uphold, rather than actually nasty and bitter because they haven't won.
