Lincoln Financial Field is a large sports stadium in South Philadelphia, opened in 2003 and named for its corporate sponsor. It is the home stadium of the NFL’s Philadelphia Eagles and is used for major sporting events and concerts.

The venue’s primary features are a multi-tier spectator bowl with approximately 69,000 seats, premium club and suite levels, and facilities for media and team operations. The stadium hosts regular-season NFL games, occasional college football fixtures and large-scale concerts.

The stadium was built to replace the older multipurpose Veterans Stadium and consolidated modern amenities, sightlines and hospitality spaces in a single-purpose football venue. It sits within the South Philadelphia sports complex adjacent to other major sports venues and is integrated into the city’s transport and parking networks.

Located in South Philadelphia near Interstate routes and public transit links, the stadium is within the city limits and a short distance from Philadelphia’s downtown core. Event-day access relies on a combination of SEPTA transit services, regional road access and designated parking/shuttle operations.

• Primary tenant and capacity: Home stadium of the NFL’s Philadelphia Eagles since opening in 2003; capacity is roughly 69,000 for football games.
• Opening and name: Opened in 2003 as a replacement for Veterans Stadium and named for the Lincoln Financial Group corporate sponsor.

What to See#

• Main bowl: The main spectator bowl with lower and upper seating tiers accommodates the primary crowd for American football and other stadium events, with an official seating capacity of about 69,000.
• Club and suites: Club and suite levels offering premium seating and hospitality areas, located on the stadium’s mid and upper tiers and used for corporate and season-ticket holders.
• Transit and access: Transport and access areas around the stadium that tie into Philadelphia’s transit network, with parking and shuttle services for event days.

Take SEPTA’s Broad Street Line (orange line) to NRG Station (South Philadelphia Sports Complex); the station is adjacent to Lincoln Financial Field and is typically a 3-5 minute walk to the stadium entrances. Many regional SEPTA trains arrive at Jefferson/30th Street Station - from there transfer to the Broad Street Line southbound.

By car the stadium is about 2-3 miles south of Center City Philadelphia. Use Broad Street (S. Broad St) and Pattison Avenue to reach the Sports Complex parking areas; I‑95 provides convenient access to the complex from the north and south.

• Use public transit - the SEPTA Broad Street Line to NRG/AT&T Station (the sports complex stop) is usually the fastest way to avoid heavy event traffic and limited parking around Lincoln Financial Field.
• If you're driving, arrive at least 90 minutes before kickoff on NFL game days; lots fill early and traffic out of South Philadelphia can take an hour or more after the final whistle.
• Most visitors focus on the game; check the stadium calendar ahead for non-game events (concerts, tours or special fan experiences) that use different gates and parking patterns so you can choose the easiest entrance for your plan.
• If you want shorter security lines, aim to arrive during the first half-hour after gates open rather than right at game time when the mass arrivals create the longest queues.
