Lincoln Financial Field, NFL stadium in South Philadelphia, United States.
Lincoln Financial Field is an American football stadium in South Philadelphia where the Eagles play their home games. The stands rise in three tiers along the sidelines, while lower stands sit behind the end zones, enclosing the entire playing surface.
Construction began in 2001 as a replacement for the aging Veterans Stadium, which no longer met modern requirements. The opening took place two years later and marked the beginning of a new era for the team and its supporters.
Fans often wear green jerseys and gather in the surrounding parking lots before games, grilling food and celebrating together. These gatherings are a fixed ritual of the stadium visit and shape the atmosphere around the grounds on game days.
Getting here works well by subway or bus, as several lines run directly from the city center. On game days, arriving early helps avoid long waits at the entrance gates.
The roof holds numerous solar panels and wind turbines that generate part of the energy needed for operations. These installations were among the first of their kind at major sports venues and show how operations and environmental care can work together.
