Lincoln Financial Field, home of the Philadelphia
Eagles is the newest NFL stadium. In the late 1990’s
the Eagles proposed that a new football only facility
be built adjacent to their current home Veterans
Stadium. The Eagles and the Philadelphia Phillies
(MLB) who also shared Veterans Stadium were tired
of playing at the multipurpose facility. For many
years the stadium had been considered the worst
venue in the league. After financing packages were
completed in 2000, construction began in April of
2001. In June 2002, Lincoln Financial Group, a financial
services firm that has its headquarters in downtown
Philadelphia, agreed to pay $139.6 million for the
naming rights.
The Eagles played there first game at Lincoln Financial
Field against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on September
8, 2003. The 66,000 seat stadium is located at 11th
Street and Pattison Ave. The stadium looks similar
to other NFL stadiums that have been completed in
past years. Nearly two-thirds of the seats are located
on the sidelines, and are 60 feet from the field.
Two three tier grandstands of seats are located
on both sides of the gridiron. Two tier sections
of seats are located beyond the endzones. The stadium
features three open plaza corners for views of the
city and into the stadium. The exterior of the stadium
has a pair of wing-like coverings over the upper
deck. These wings form some protection from the
elements for some fans and serve to focus stadium
noise back towards the field, enhancing the game
experience. Two 27ft. by 96ft. video boards are
located between the lower and upper decks in the
endzones. A number of amenities are at Lincoln Financial
Field including 117 luxury suites, 9,000 club seats,
a 100,00 square foot fan oriented plaza, and an
Eagles team store. The Eagles hope to have many
successful years at their new home.
