I could have sworn that there was a Kate Smith statue at the old Yankees Stadium. I mean, God Bless America is like the Yankees anthem, afterall. I can't recall correctly if there is one in The Bronx... but I do know I have stood in front of the Spectrum one.

On October 8, 1987, a Kate Smith statue was dedicated outside the Spectrum in Philadelphia before the Flyers game vs. the Montreal Canadiens. It is shown here at its current location near the Wells Fargo Center, the Flyers' home since 1996.

It became associated more with the “Broad Street Bullies.”
