“Man, we got some homemade burgers, with bacon and onions and celery,” fan Mike Harrell said. “We got some brats, we got some sausage, we got pasta salad.”
Football season is here. And, a side of Super Bowl fever in August.
“We had a taste and we’re ready for the full meal,” Harrell added.
The Linc Sunday was the only time fans could catch an Eagles practice this season, compared to two last year, and as many as 18 public practices back during training days at Lehigh. Now, just one.

“They should open it up more. We all got kids, we like to bring our families down here,” John Thurston explained.
And, while nearly no other team charges to get in, this year, it cost $10.00, all to charity, the Eagles Autism Challenge. One teacher of kids with autism says that’s fine with her.
“I think it’s awesome. I mean, I know my classroom. They need it. Every cent we get that goes towards classroom materials, stuff for the kids,” Brittany Loesch stated.
And, when the likes of Carson Wentz and Zach Ertz appeared?
“I’ve been an Eagles fan my whole life. I’m really excited. I’ve never been this close,” said Dane Smith.

Fans liking what they saw, even from the nosebleeds.
