Title: Philly:Question regarding Eagles new stadium
Post by Keyshawn Johnson 76yards on Apr 8^th, 2003, 7:25pm

Are they going to play in the new stadium for this up-coming season? Also, is in it a different part of Philly then the Vet?

"Phil Lee" can respond to this more thoroughly, BUT I believe that the first game scheduled for that stadium is a preseason game this year against the Patriots. I believe they then open the season on a Monday Night there against Tampa Bay. Some way to open up shop, huh? Correct me if I am wrong. [smiley=shrug.gif]

Yep, that's exactly why I asked this question, because I'm looking to get tickets to the game, got to know if 500 level seats will cause me a problem, or I'll have to go down to level 300 like I did last season in the NFC Championsip, which I think Tampa kicked Philly's ass? ;D

The new stadium is right near the Vet. It opens during preseason against the Pats, as Steg said.

I'm not sure how the new configuration will work. There is no more 700 level. I know there is an upper bowl and a lower bowl. Most of the lower bowl are Personal Seat License seats, so if you're able to get a ticket (I understand they're keeping Bucs fans out [smiley=hellyeafunny.gif] ) it will probably be in the upper bowl. There will be about the same amount of total seating as there was in the Vet (65,000ish). But I imagine the first regular season game (MNF no less) will be a very difficult ticket to score.

WHEN are tickets going on sale???? My wife has said that for our anniversary we can go to Philly and an Eagles game in Philly.

How cool is she?

I'll check on that for you. One of my colleagues is a ticket agent for the Eagles.

Do a sense a possible connection? I would be indebted to you if you could manage to score me some seats.

After all, I will bring revenue to the local Philly economy by spending my hard earned tax dollars on hotels, cheese steaks, and of course at the Amish Market.

Any help you could provide would be apprecaited.

Again, I'll look into it. She's not in this week, but when she gets back on Monday I'll ask.

Are you interested specifically in the MNF game against the Bucs? That might be a difficult game to score. And are you looking for 2 tix? Best available seats?

Philly--

I appreciate you even TRYING to help me out. If it works out great, if not, I will try another way.

As far as what game, I am pretty realistic. I will take any game, any week, against anyone. I am just a HUGE fan and would love to go. I don't care who they play cause all I wanna see is the Eagles.
