Thousands of Eagles fans pack Lincoln Financial Field for public practice
Tickets cost $15, with all proceeds donated to the Eagles Autism Foundation.
Hundreds of Eagles supporters descended upon Lincoln Financial Field on Tuesday night for the team's public practice. Each attendee paid just $15 for their ticket, with all proceeds going to the Eagles Autism Foundation. As the regular season approaches, fans were eager to get an up-close look at the team. "It's so much fun. It's affordable," said Courtney Leard, from Hagerstown, Maryland.
Prior to the gates opening, the sidewalk outside the stadium was filled with eager fans. The lines formed well before the doors opened, with some like Tawana Wilson waiting since 8 a.m. "I love to be front row. I have to be in the front row. There is nothing like having that front row experience," she said.
Joshua Williams brought his nephew to the practice. "We're just enjoying seeing these players do their thing before the season starts," he remarked. Fans can look forward to the final preseason game on Friday night, with the regular season opener set for Sunday, September 13 against the Washington Commanders at 4:25 p.m.
