The Linc is where Eagles followers forge bonds that last forever.
It’s hard to believe that Lincoln Financial Field is 21 years old already. The rowdy, gritty Vet still holds a special place in the hearts of many Philadelphia fans, but the Linc has been a nice upgrade.
True, Eagles fans have been tamer since they moved across the street, but the atmosphere at Veterans Stadium was almost postapocalyptic. Eagles fans bonded there, though, and they continue to bond at the Linc.That’s what Jeff Neiburg found out in many interviews with those fans as part of The Inquirer’s ongoing series on the city’s sports venues. The game-day experience, they say, is less about the building and more about the people they share the stadium with and the players on the field.
“The Linc is just a building where we all congregate,” fan Colin Ramage says. “It could be a field in North Philly. It could be a beach in Ocean City. It doesn’t matter where we are. It’s a nice stadium, but the purpose is the people that come to watch the game andThe Eagles could not escape another costly injury in their victory over the Browns. Coach Nick Sirianni said that tackle Jordan Mailata is going to be “out a couple weeks” after he suffered a left hamstring injury on Sunday.
The Sixers had already ruled out Joel Embiid for the remainder of the preseason on Sunday. Now, another one of their stars will be sidelined. During the Sixers’ 104-89 preseason win against the Hawks, Paul George left the game in the second quarter with aIt’s certainly early in the campaign, and the 1-1 Flyers are trying to incorporate the offensive talents of rookies Matvei Michkov and Jett Luchanko. It takes time to build chemistry on the team’s lines.
First and foremost FIRE SIRIANI. That should have been done in February. Hire Mike Vrabel. Then prepare for next year. This one was done when they brought back Siriani.It’s a sad thing to say, after going to all kinds of sporting events in the Philadelphia area for the past 65 years, I actually dozed off in the second quarter of Sunday’s Browns game. If we couldn’t put the Browns away in the first half by 20 points we are in serious trouble against the rest of our schedule.
