The future of Lincoln Financial Field remains uncertain while the Philadelphia Eagles continue to weigh whether to upgrade or replace their home of the past 22 seasons, writes John George for the Philadelphia Business Journal.
The Birds recently surveyed a portion of season ticket holders to gather opinions on possible Linc upgrades and gauge interest in constructing a new stadium.
When speaking to the media ahead of last season’s Super Bowl, Eagles owner Jeff Lurie discussed a potential new domed stadium for the team. He also expressed his desire to host major events in Philadelphia in the future, including the Super Bowl or NCAA Final Four.
“I think most of Philadelphia knows our lease [at the city-owned Lincoln Financial Field] runs through 2032,” said Frank Gumienny, the Eagles’ chief operating officer, in a recent interview. “That’s both far away in some ways, and not so far away in others. Right now, we are just starting to gather information. Everything is on the table.”
However at least for this season, the Linc will remain the same, with no changes planned regarding seats, suites, or the game day experience.
