About Lincoln Financial Field
Lincoln Financial Field is an American football stadium located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It serves as the home stadium of the Philadelphia Eagles of the National Football League (NFL) and the Temple Owls football team of Temple University. It is commonly referred to as "The Linc" and opened in 2003, replacing Veterans Stadium.
The stadium has a seating capacity of 69,796. Its design features open corners that provide views of the Philadelphia skyline. The "Eagle's Nest" is a unique seating section located in the upper deck of the north end zone. The stadium is known for its raucous and demanding fanbase, creating one of the most intimidating environments in the league.
Energy efficiency is a key feature, with the stadium incorporating wind turbines and solar panels to generate renewable energy. It has hosted various major events, including the Army-Navy game and international soccer matches. A statue of "Rocky" formerly stood nearby (now at the Art Museum), but a statue of Nick Foles and Doug Pederson commemorating "The Philly Special" now graces the plaza.
