About Lincoln Financial Field
Lincoln Financial Field, "The Linc", is a state of the art Football-only stadium located in South Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in the United States. It is the home field of the Philadelphia Eagles of the National Football League and the NCAA's Temple Owls. Lincoln Financial Field was completed in 2003 at a cost of $512 million. The building lies at the northwest corner of the South Philadelphia sports complex, which includes Wachovia Center (Philadelphia 76ers, Philadelphia Flyers,) Citizens Bank Park (Philadelphia Phillies,) and the Wachovia Spectrum, current home of the Philadelphia Phantoms and The Wachovia Center's predecessor as home to the Flyers, 76ers, and Wings. Lincoln Financial Field hosts 68,532 guests and The Philadelphia Eagles currently have a 30 year wait list for season tickets.
Inquire with Wanamaker Tickets about purchasing 2008 Philadelphia Eagles Season Tickets. Availability is extremely limited, however we can accomodate some customers on a first-come, first-served basis.
Naming Rights: Lincoln Financial Field is owned by The City of Philadelphia, however, the stadium's naming rights belong to Lincoln Financial Group.
Lincoln Financial Field replaced the Eagles former home, Veterans Stadium after a two year construction period. The total capacity slightly changed, however, Lincoln Financial Field contans double the amount of luxury and wheelchair accessible seating and a huge upgrade in the stadium's amenities. Like the Vet, Lincoln Financial Field contained a jail, however, with the new stadium and an end to the 700 Level at the Vet, The Eagles faced fewer problems with unruly Philadelphia fan behavior and did away with the jail.
The first game played at the complex was an exhibition Soccer match between Manchester United and FC Barcelona on August 3, 2003. Additional Soccer matches were played at The Linc as part of FIFA Women's World Cup. Bruce Springsteen performed three sold-out concerts in 2003 and the Linc has also hosted the Annual Army-Navy Football game.

FRANCHISE HISTORY
During the 1931 NFL season, the Frankford Yellow Jackets went bankrupt and folded. After more than a year of searching, the NFL awarded the dormant franchise to a syndicate headed by Bert Bell and Lud Wray, in exchange for an entry fee of $2,500. Drawing inspiration from the insignia of the centerpiece of President Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal, the National Recovery Act, Bell and Wray named the new franchise the Philadelphia Eagles. The Eagles, along with the Pittsburgh Steelers and the now defunct Cincinnati Reds, joined the NFL as expansion teams.
The Eagles struggled over the course of their first ten years, enduring repeated losing seasons. In 1943, when personnel shortages stemming from World War II made it difficult to fill the roster, the team temporarily merged with the Pittsburgh Steelers to form a team known as "the Phil-Pitt Steagles." (The merger, never intended as a permanent arrangement, was dissolved at the end of the 1943 season.)
By the late 1940s, head coach Earle "Greasy" Neale and running back Steve Van Buren led the team to three consecutive NFL Championship Games, winning two of them in 1948 and 1949. Those two Championships mark the Eagles as the only NFL team ever to win back to back Championships without allowing a single point against them. They defeated the Chicago Cardinals 7-0 in 1948 and the Los Angeles Rams 14-0 in 1949.
The Eagles wouldn't win another NFL championship until 1960, under the leadership of future Pro Football Hall of Famers Norm Van Brocklin and Chuck Bednarik and head coach was Buck Shaw. The 1960 Eagles, by a score of 17-13, became the only team to defeat Vince Lombardi's Packers in the playoffs.
In 1969, Leonard Tose bought the Philadelphia Eagles from Jerry Wolman for a reported $16,155,000, then a record for a professional sports franchise. Tose's first official act was to fire Coach Joe Kuharich. He followed this by naming former Eagles receiving great Pete Retzlaff as General Manager and Jerry Williams as coach.
With the merger of the NFL and AFL in 1970, the Eagles were placed in the NFC East Division with their archrivals the New York Giants, the Washington Redskins, and the Dallas Cowboys.
In 1976, Leonard Tose, along with General Manager Jimmy Murray, lured Dick Vermeil from UCLA to coach the Eagles, who had only one winning season from 1962-75. Dick Vermeil's 1980 team (led by Ron Jaworski, the current co-owner of the AFL's Philadelphia Soul) was very successful and made it to the first Super Bowl in franchise History. The Eagles lost, however, to the Oakland Raiders.
In January 1983, Tose announced that his daughter, Susan Fletcher, the Eagles' vice president and legal counsel, would eventually succeed him as primary owner of the Eagles. However, by 1985 Tose was forced to sell the Eagles to Norman Braman and Ed Leibowitz, automobile dealers from Florida, for a reported $65 million to pay off his more than $25 million in gambling debts at Atlantic City casinos.
Philadelphia football struggled through the Marion Campbell years of the mid 1980s and was marked by a malaise in fan participation. In 1986, the arrival of head coach Buddy Ryan and his fiery attitude rejuvenated The Eagles performance and ignited the fan base. From 1988 to 1996, the Eagles qualified for the playoffs during 6 out of those 9 seasons, but they won the NFC East only once, in 1988. Among the team's offensive stars during that period were quarterback Randall Cunningham, tight end Keith Jackson, and running back Keith Byars. But the Gang Green Defense is what defined the team, led by Reggie White, Jerome Brown, Clyde Simmons, Seth Joyner, Wes Hopkins, Byron Evans, Eric Allen, and Andre Waters.
In 1999, the Eagles hired head coach Andy Reid and drafted quarterback Donovan McNabb despite the fan's pleas to draft Texas Longhorn standout Ricky Williams. The Eagles Fans and local media had so despised the Eagles Front Office for drafting anyone other than Williams that Sports Radio 610WIP's Angelo Cataldi recruited the "Terrible Twenty"-a group of savage fans sent to the 1999 NFL Draft to boo the pick that turned out to be Donovan McNabb. (Williams has since been in and out of the league due to marijuana use while McNabb has led his team to four NFC Championship games.)
With Andy Reid's guidance and Donovan McNabb's mesmerizing athleticism, The Eagles continually improved, returning to the playoffs in 2000, then succeeding in winning the NFC East and playing in four consecutive conference championship games between 2001 and 2004. After losing the conference championship in 2001 to the St. Louis Rams, in 2002 to the eventual Super Bowl Champions Tampa Bay Buccaneers and 2003 to the Carolina Panthers, the Eagles finally advanced to the Super Bowl again in 2004, Super Bowl XXXIX, where they were lost narrowly to the New England Patriots, 24-21.
Following a 2005 season marred by injuries and controversy between Donovan McNabb and Terrell Owens, the Eagles returned to the playoffs in 2006 with Jeff Garcia at the helm as he led an improbable run of 5 consecutive wins to end the season, bringing the team its fifth NFC East title under Coach Reid. The Eagles finished the 2007 season with 3 consecutive wins, but failed to make the playoffs, finishing 8-8.
In the 2008 off-season, The Eagles signed the most highly coveted Defensive Free Agent, Corner Back Asante Samuel from the New England Patriots. Samuel is a physical corner, excellent in pass coverage, with big play making abilities. It was Asante Samuel's Interception returned for a touchdown in the first quarter and fourth quarter interception of QB A.J. Feely that prohibited the Eagles from making an improbable defeat of the Patriots and ending their perfect season.
