One of the most distinct pieces of Veterans Stadium was the replica Liberty Bell that stood on 400 level facade, visible to Phillies and Eagles fans as they went to see games at the Vet.
After the aging stadium was demolished in 2004, the bell fell into the hands of C.W. Dunnet and Co., a food distributor located right by the stadium. They originally planned to refurbish the bell and place it on their roof. Ralph Marta, the company’s president, said it would be set to toll and flash lights whenever the Phils hit a home run at home games.
