The Linc: home of the Eagles and Temple football
Lincoln Financial Field, known locally as the Linc, is the open-air football stadium in South Philadelphia where the Philadelphia Eagles and the Temple Owls play their home games. It seats 67,594 and also hosts stadium concerts, international soccer and the Army–Navy Game in many years.
Lincoln Financial Field opened on August 3, 2003, at 1020 Pattison Avenue, part of the South Philadelphia Sports Complex alongside Interstate 95. The City of Philadelphia owns it, and the Eagles operate it under a lease. The Philadelphia Union of MLS played here before moving to their own stadium in 2010.
Compared with the newer, larger NFL stadiums, the Linc is relatively compact. There are essentially two seating decks with a club level between them, and even the upper deck feels close to the field. That design, plus a loud home crowd, is a large part of why Eagles tickets carry strong demand.
Reading the seating chart at the Linc
The numbering follows three main tiers, and the sideline that matters most is easy to find.
- Lower level (100s): sections 101 to 138. The numbering wraps around the bowl so that sections 101 and 138 meet near midfield on the Eagles sideline.
- Club level (C sections): sideline club seats labeled C1 to C40, with access to indoor club lounges.
- Upper level (200s): sections 201 to 244, following the same pattern as the lower bowl.
- Concert floor: temporary floor sections on the field for end-stage shows.
The Eagles bench is on the west sideline, in front of sections 101 to 104 and 137 to 138, with 101 and 102 closest to midfield. The visitors' bench is across the field in front of roughly sections 118 to 123. There is no official away section, so visiting fans tend to buy on the visitor sideline. For Temple games, the Owls use the opposite sideline from the Eagles.
Where to sit for an Eagles game
The most sought-after seats are on the Eagles sideline between the 30-yard lines, in sections 101 to 104 and 137 to 138, along with the club seats above them. Those sections carry the highest demand, partly because the Firstrust Bank Club (a premium lounge with food and an open bar) sits behind the Eagles bench at midfield.
Value picks
- Visitor-side lower level: sections 118 to 123 have the same midfield geometry as the Eagles side, and they are a fine choice even for home fans.
- Upper sideline: sections 201 to 204 on the Eagles side and 223 to 226 on the visitor side give a full-field view. Sit a few rows back so the sideline crowd of staff and equipment does not cut off the near side.
- Lower-level corners: good for watching scoring plays, weaker for judging the middle of the field.
Covered rows and weather
The club level overhangs the back of the lower bowl, so the last rows of many 100-level sections are covered. In section 122, for example, rows 29 and above sit under the overhang. Those rows block rain and some sun, but they also flatten the view of high punts and long passes. Rows in the low 20s are a common sweet spot: high enough to see over the bench area, low enough to stay close.
Concerts, soccer and the Army–Navy Game
For end-stage concerts, the floor sections nearest the stage and the lower-level sideline sections angled toward the stage give the best combination of distance and sightline. Sections behind the stage are usually sold only when the production is built for it. Upper-level end zone seats facing the stage are the most distant spots in the house; the sound carries well, but the performers are small.
The Linc hosted six matches of the 2026 FIFA World Cup and WrestleMania XL in April 2024. It is a regular host of the Army–Navy Game, which rotates among several East Coast stadiums, so check the year's site before planning a trip around it.
Getting to the stadium on SEPTA or by car
The Linc has one of the easiest transit connections in the NFL. SEPTA's Broad Street Line (signed as the B line under SEPTA Metro) runs straight down Broad Street to NRG Station, at the corner of Broad Street and Pattison Avenue, a short walk from the gates. For big games, SEPTA may add express trains. Bus routes 4 and 17 also serve the complex.
Drivers park in the sports complex lots. Lots generally open four and a half hours before kickoff, and the team encourages buying parking in advance. Arrive early; the approach roads into the complex back up well before kickoff on big game days. Check SEPTA for current service before you go.
Gates, bags and tailgating
As of the 2025 season, Lincoln Financial Field's guide lists these entry rules. Check the venue's current policy before you go.
- Bags: clear plastic, vinyl or PVC bags no larger than 12 by 6 by 12 inches, a one-gallon clear freezer bag, or a small non-clear bag up to 4.5 by 6.5 inches.
- Gates: the Pepsi Plaza generally opens about three hours before Eagles games, club and suite entrances about two hours before, and the inner gates about 90 minutes before kickoff.
- Re-entry: not allowed on the same ticket.
- Payment: the stadium is cashless, with cash-to-card machines in the Pepsi lobby and near sections 105 and 122.
- Smoking: prohibited everywhere in the stadium, including e-cigarettes.
Tailgating is a big part of an Eagles Sunday. It is not allowed in the lots north of Pattison Avenue and west of Darien Street (Lots Q to W), so if the tailgate matters to you, make sure your parking pass is for a lot where grilling is permitted.
Food, clubs and the stadium's history
The Pepsi Plaza, a 110,000-square-foot gathering area with a large video screen, food and the Eagles Pro Shop, is the main pregame meeting point. Premium options include the Presidents Club suites, the Firstrust Bank Club, Red Zone seats and suites, and the Bud Light Eagles Nest.
The Linc replaced Veterans Stadium as the Eagles' home. Construction began on May 7, 2001, at a cost of about 512 million, and a renovation in 2013 and 2014 added seats, new video boards and WiFi for over 125 million. Lincoln Financial Field has hosted several NFC Championship Games, including the Eagles' 55–23 win on January 26, 2025.
