Philadelphia Sports Hall of Fame Preserving Veterans Stadium

In cooperation with Brandenburg Industrial Service Co. of Chicago and the Phillies, the Philadelphia Sports Hall of Fame is attempting to preserve numerous items from Veterans Stadium. They include some of the tall, black exit turnstiles, section signs, ticket window items, railings, lockers and numerous other memorable pieces of the soon-to-be destroyed stadium.

Brandenburg, the primary contractor on site, has agreed to remove a number of items as a donation to the Philadelphia Sports Hall of Fame Foundation, prior to the stadium’s scheduled demolition Sunday, March 21.

“Veterans Stadium contains certain items like the aluminum railings and black, cage-like turnstiles that fans easily associate with the Vet,” said Philadelphia Sports Hall of Fame’s Dave Harker.

With the opening of Citizen's Bank Park just a month away, the Phillies have been extremely busy. However, they have promised a number of items as well. Though as yet unidentified, some may be those, which remain from the “Final Pieces” Auction and Sale that raised more than $700,000 for charity in early February.

“With the Philadelphia Sports Hall of Fame now the de facto curator of Philadelphia’s sports history we did not want the Vet to go the way of JFK Stadium, Shibe Park and Baker Bowl. The generosity of the Phillies and Brandenburg will enable us to preserve the memory of the stadium for generations of fans,” continued Harker.

The artifacts, more architectural in nature than memorabilia or collectibles, will be identified, logged and stored for the immediate future. They are part of the Hall of Fame’s long-range plan for a state-of–the art, interactive sports museum in the South Philadelphia sports complex area.

Fans can participate by submitting their choice of items through the Hall of Fame’s web site: http://www.phillyhof.org/vet.asp

The Philadelphia Sports Hall of Fame Foundation is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation. Founded in 2002, it is a member of the Greater Philadelphia Chamber of Commerce, the Pennsylvania Association of Non-Profit Organizations, the Maxwell Club, the Mid-Atlantic Association of Museums and the International Association of Sports Museums and Halls of Fame.

CINEMARK TO BUILD ALL NEW STADIUM-SEATED, 12-SCREEN THEATRE IN WILLIAMSBURG

For Immediate Release
November 1, 2002

CINEMARK TO BUILD ALL NEW STADIUM-SEATED, 12-SCREEN THEATRE IN WILLIAMSBURG

Plano, TX - Cinemark USA, Inc. will build a new 12-screen theatre in Williamsburg, VA as part of the High Street, a new and exciting mixed-use entertainment complex to be built by Lerner Enterprises of Bethesda, Maryland. The new Cinemark 12 will be the first all stadium seated theatre in the city and is scheduled to open in the fall of 2004.

The new state-of-the-art stadium-seated Cinemark Theatre will feature an art-deco design with muted red, gold and bronze, reminiscent of the golden age of Hollywood. In addition, there will be digital sound; plush, high-backed seats in all auditoriums; on-line and advance ticketing; and of course, concession stands providing candy, soft drinks and fresh, hot popcorn.

Customers in Williamsburg will enjoy true stadium-style seating, featuring a sixteen-inch height difference between each row, as well as a 48-inch spacing between each aisle. This will ensure an unobstructed view from a high-back lounging rocker that includes extra padding and cup holder armrests and provides extra leg room between each row, so that patrons may enter or exit without disturbing other guests.

The new theatre will also feature “on-line ticketing,” which allows for advanced ticket purchases on the Internet. This will enable patrons to bypass lines at the box office and go directly to a kiosk in the lobby, where they may either print their paid-in-advance movie tickets or pay via a credit card.

“Cinemark is excited to be building a theatre in Williamsburg,” says Alan Stock, president of Cinemark USA, Inc. “This will be our first theatre there and between the beautiful design, the state-of-the-art projection and sound systems, and Internet ticketing, it will truly be “The Best Seat in Town.”” Cinemark has 52 screens in Virginia with theatres in Norfolk, Lynchburg, Chesapeake and Bristol.



Cinemark expects to break ground in late 2003 with the hopes to open the theatre for business the fall of 2004. Cinemark has 278 theatres and 3,014 screens in 33 states, and internationally, in 13 countries including Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, Mexico and Peru.

Lerner Enterprises Limited Partnership, of Bethesda, Maryland, is one of the recognized leaders in quality retail, office, and residential design in the mid-Atlantic region. Founded over fifty years ago by Theodore N. Lerner, Lerner Enterprises has owned and developed such projects as Tyson’s Corner Center, White Flint, and the new Dulles Town Center in northern Virginia. It presently owns and manages approximately 10 million square feet of space.

The Arrowhead Stadium Fan Fest will include the Pep Rally Kick Off, Kansas City’s largest annual pep rally. Kansas City Chiefs players will be on hand, as well as the Kansas City Chiefs Owner, President, and Head Coach. The mayor and other local dignitaries will be presented.    

With the support of local businesses, media, national partners and the incredible citizens of Kansas City, the city wide buzz has only begun to grow.
