Over the past five decades, the city has claimed two Stanley Cup trophies, two World Series titles and two NBA championships, while regularly making deep runs into the playoffs.

Super fans also like to see and be seen. At the Linc, the sections in the 100 level around the 50-yard line are considered ideal. At the Wells Fargo Center, Flyers fans prefer the 100- and 200-level seats near center ice, while 76ers followers shoot for courtside seats on the east or west sides. In Citizens Bank Park, many Phillies fans find the field-level seats between the dugouts combine good value and vantage points. The Phillies reserve 500 tickets each game for standing room and post updates on available seats on Twitter and Facebook. Each facility also boasts its own pregame rituals. Before Eagles games at the Linc, fans congregate at HeadHouse Plaza, a 100,000-square-foot area TASTING VICTORY at the north end of the stadium that features a giant video screen and a team You’ll want to come hungry to Philadelphia’s major store.

  • Eagles' Team Travel
    PRO FOOTBALL HALL OF FAME TEACHER ACTIVITY GUIDE 2019-2020 EDITIOn PHILADELPHIA EAGLES Team History The Eagles have been a Philadelphia institution since their beginning in 1933 when a syndicate headed by the late Bert Bell and Lud Wray purchased the former Frankford Yellowjackets franchise for $2,500. In 1941, a unique swap took place between Philadelphia and Pittsburgh that saw the clubs trade home cities with Alexis Thompson becoming the Eagles owner. In 1943, the Philadelphia and Pittsburgh franchises combined for one season due to the manpower shortage created by World War II. The team was called both Phil-Pitt and the Steagles. Greasy Neale of the Eagles and Walt Kiesling of the Steelers were co-coaches and the team finished 5-4-1. Counting the 1943 season, Neale coached the Eagles for 10 seasons and he led them to their first significant successes in the NFL. Paced by such future Pro Football Hall of Fame members as running back Steve Van Buren, center-linebacker Alex Wojciechowicz, end Pete Pihos and beginning in 1949, center-linebacker Chuck Bednarik, the Eagles dominated the league for six seasons. They finished second in the NFL Eastern division in 1944, 1945 and 1946, won the division title in 1947 and then scored successive shutout victories in the 1948 and 1949 championship games. A rash of injuries ended Philadelphia’s era of domination and, by 1958, the Eagles had fallen to last place in their division. That year, however, saw the start of a rebuilding program by a new coach, Buck Shaw, and the addition of quarterback Norm Van Brocklin in a trade with the Los Angeles Rams.
