HISTORY
HERSHEYPARK Stadium, as with so many
of Mr. Hershey's projects, was built as much for today as for
the time
when it was
built. Through the years the Stadium has served as the summer
home of the Philadelphia Eagles as well as the site of rodeos,
athletic
and music competitions, concerts, pageants, and racing events.
In 1953, the Stadium and HERSHEYPARK
Arena were the sites of a huge birthday gala in honor of
President Dwight D. Eisenhower.
HERSHEYPARK Stadium
ranked #1 in North America as the top grossing venue for
the *NSYNC & Pink
show on July 30, 2000 (venues with seats 40,000 or less).
