About Lincoln Financial Field
Lincoln Financial Field is located on Pattison Avenue between 11th and South Darien streets in South Philadelphia. Commonly referred to by locals as “the Linc,” the stadium is home to the Philadelphia Eagles (NFL), as well as the Temple University Owls football team. Lincoln Financial Field opened in August 2003 following two years of construction, and replaced the Eagles’ former home base at Veterans Stadium.
Fun fact: The annual Army-Navy football game is often held at Lincoln Financial Field due to its halfway point between the two academies.
