Philadelphia Eagles Travel Guide
The Eagles were founded in 1933 and have played at Lincoln Financial Field in the South Philadelphia sports complex since 2003. The club won its first Super Bowl following the 2017 season after decades as one of the sport’s most conspicuous nearly-teams, which is a large part of why the support behaves the way it does. The stadium holds around 69,000 and sits alongside the city’s baseball park and arena.

What a trip around Philadelphia Eagles looks like
Fan travel angle
Philadelphia is the most transit-friendly NFL trip in America. The Broad Street Line runs from Center City to the stadium in about fifteen minutes for the price of a normal fare, which removes the parking problem that defines most American game days. The crowd is loud and hostile in a way that is genuinely part of the draw, though the reputation for treating visitors badly is overstated if you are not wearing rival colours to a rivalry game.
Getting to Lincoln Financial Field
The transit picture on a matchday, and what changes after full time.
The Broad Street Line runs from Center City directly to NRG station at the south end of the complex in about fifteen minutes, and it is the way almost everyone arrives. SEPTA regional rail connects the airport to Center City in twenty to twenty five minutes, so the whole trip from plane to stadium is straightforward on public transport. Center City itself is walkable end to end in about half an hour.

Where fans go before and after
- The complex tailgate lots, which open early and are the standard pre-game
- Broad and Oregon in South Philly, the closest real bar strip to the stadium
- East Passyunk for the best food within reach of the subway line
- Fishtown and Northern Liberties for the best evening in the city afterwards
Plan around this
- Take the Broad Street Line to NRG. Driving means buying a lot pass and then sitting in the exit queue afterwards for no benefit.
- Check whether another team at the complex is playing the same day. Four venues share the site and a doubled-up schedule changes parking, trains and bar waits.
- Rivalry fixtures against the New York, Dallas and Washington clubs price and sell completely differently from a routine home game.
- Tailgating is a serious operation here and lots open hours before kickoff. If you have a lot pass, use it rather than arriving at kickoff.
Stadium tours
The stadium runs public tours on selected non-event days covering the field, a locker room and the club and suite levels. The schedule is limited and blocked out by the football and concert calendar, so book ahead.

Frequently asked questions
How do I get to Lincoln Financial Field?+
The Broad Street Line runs from Center City to NRG station at the south end in about fifteen minutes. It is the standard route and far better than driving.
Is the Philadelphia crowd really that hostile to visitors?+
The atmosphere is loud and the reputation is not invented, but visitors who are not in rival colours at a rivalry game generally have no problem. Use judgement about which fixture you are buying into.
Can I see more than one Philadelphia team on the same trip?+
Often yes. Four major venues share the same complex at the end of the same subway line, so a weekend can easily take in two events. Check both schedules before booking.
