Philadelphia Eagles Announce New Light Show At The Linc For Upcoming Season
How exciting that the Eagles home opener is tomorrow! Remember last year when Jordan Davis performed at XFinity Live? That was awesome! The Philadelphia Eagles are very excited for the new season too and announced a new light show for the upcoming season!
Here are the details: The Eagles are asking all fans attending tomorrow’s game to be in their seats by 8pm and to download the Eagles app to participate in the debut of their brand new “LIGHT UP THE LINC” pre-game light show. The app will use your phone’s screen/flashlight to participate for you and create the experience.
The last time I was at the Linc was for Beyonce, before that was Taylor Swift, and before that was the NFC championship game when they beach the 49ers in the best way. I haven’t gone back and watched the Super Bowl when the Eagles were up 10 points at halftime and still lost to the Kansas City Chiefs, but I know a lot of people have and said it still stings. I actually had the 2018 Super Bowl saved in my DVR for a few years and then something happened with my Fios and it was deleted. I’m still not over it. If you are looking to watch a little of last season, check out the new documentary on Netflix called Quarterback. It followed Chiefs Quarterback Patrick Mahomes, Vikings Quarterback Kirk Cousins, and former Falcons (current Eagles backup) Marcus Mariota. It’s interesting how the Eagles popped up in the documentary a few times, which was cool.
Also, don’t forget that Jason Kelce’s new documentary on Amazon Prime “Kelce” is out and it’s so great. It made me cry a few times. You really see how passionate he is about playing football, his family, and leaving a legacy in Philadelphia. As of today, it was the #1 movie in the US on Amazon Prime.
9 Things You Need To Know Before Going To A Philadelphia Eagles Game
Who Will They Be Playing?
It’s not always a no-brainer. You’ll have your Eagles gear on, but make sure a jacket, a hat, or any other clothes you wear don’t rep the visiting colors. Also, just completely avoid wearing any Dallas Cowboys gear.
Where Is A Good Place To Park?
Most lots surrounding the sports complex open 4.5 hours before kickoff on Eagles gamedays. Make sure you know which lots permit tailgating and which ones don’t. Visit K Lot or Jetro for the best party scenes!
If you’d rather take public transportation to the game, NRG Station is the terminal stop on the Broad Street Line (Orange Line). It lets riders out at Broad Street and Pattison Avenue, about three blocks from the Linc.
What Time Can You Get In?
The Pepsi Plaza usually opens three hours before home games for the first arrivals, and the other gates follow. An early arrival at the gate means less of a crowd to move through to work your way through security, grab some food and a drink, and get settled in your seats.
How Will the Fan Screening Process Work?
Limit what you bring into the stadium to make the screening process simpler. The Linc allows clear bags 12 x 6 x 12 or smaller inside. Fans can’t bring larger purses or bags besides small wallets into the game. Try to address any questions about bags before you get to the game.
How Do You Access Your Tickets?
Eagles tickets are now completely digital. For the easiest method, have your digital tickets accessible on a smartphone at the gate on gamedays. Make sure that phone is charged and ready to go.
What Time Does The Game Begin?
Most games start at 1 pm on Sundays. As scheduled now, they have 6 games that are 1 pm starts. But the Eagles do have a lot of Primetime games this season, including the home opener that takes place on a Monday Night. Game times can also be flexed, so if you bought ahead of time, still double-check the week of in case they were moved to 4, or even flexed to a prime-time game.
What Will the Weather Be Like?
Check the weather. The NFL regular season starts in September and ends in the early part of January. Philadelphia also expects another deep playoff run. You’ll need to know whether to wear your current midnight green t-shirt or that retro Kelly Green jacket you bought.
Where Can You Get the Best Eats?
You could go with a cheesesteak, and crab fries from Chickie’s and Pete’s should be on the table. There are plenty of options at the Linc. Many fans will be interested in a cold drink too.
Is There Anything Special Happening?
Sometimes, the Eagles will give away rally towels or other items to all fans. They also honor a military veteran as a “Hometown Hero” every game. You might even see a flyover during the National Anthem if you’re lucky.
