Lincoln Financial Field, Philadelphia
Lincoln Financial Field, the official home of the Philadelphia Eagles, opened to the public in 2003 and has been garnering praise ever since. The 69,796-seat stadium features extra-wide concourses, massive LED video displays, almost 500 concession stands and both luxury and club seating areas. It accommodates 69,000 spectators, encompasses approximately 1,600,000 square feet of floor space, and is one of the most technologically advanced in the world. Boasting incredible sightlines, with a majority of seats along the sidelines, Lincoln Financial Field is a football fan's dream.
All categories are lined up with the above map for your convenience.
upper-level endzone (sections 209 - 218, 232 - 237)
As seen on the Lincoln Financial Field seating chart, the Upper Level Endzone seating location is positioned on the north and south sides of the stadium. While these seats may be commonly referred to as some of the worst seats at Lincoln Financial Field, the elevation of the seats allows for a decent view of the action and Sections 209-215 offer the best skyline views in the stadium.
One major complaint about these seats is how exposed they are - especially on a cold and windy day. The side of the North endzone is not attached to any other part of the stadium, so the seats get the most wind in the stadium. And if you're seated in the top rows (there are 22 in each section) of these sections on a windy day, you'll be wondering what's worse: the treacherous walk up all those steps or having to sit stationary as the wind keeps slapping you in the face.
UPPER-LEVEL SIDELINES (SECTIONS 201 - 207, 239 - 244 / 219 - 231)
The upper deck at Lincoln Financial Field can be a tough place - especially for fans of the opposing team. With each section containing up to 30 rows of seats, it's important to select the right row for the best experience.
When it's raining, the roof over the upper deck does a great job of keeping rows 20-30 out of the elements. And on hot and sunny days, the roof even does a decent job of providing shade for those on the west side of the stadium in the late afternoon. However, getting to those upper rows can be a bit of a challenge. If you are uncomfortable walking the steep and narrow staircase to the top, select seats in the lowest row possible. You'll end up spending more money (or you may have to move farther away from midfield), but you'll be close to the section tunnel which leads to concessions and restrooms.
level 100 coRNER (SECTIONS 107 - 108, 112 - 114, 126 - 127, 131 - 133)
In all four corners of the field on the lowest level of Lincoln Financial Field is the Lower Level Corner seating location. These sections are ideal for viewing scoring plays in the near endzone because of their close proximity. Once the action moves to the other side of the field, it can get hard to see due to the lack of elevation from these sections.
Sections in this seating location have between 32 and 35 numbered rows.
LEVEL 100 ENDZONE (SECTIONS 109 - 111, 128 - 130)
Behind both endzones on the first level of the stadium is the Lower Level Endzone seating location. These sections have a great view of the action in the near endzone because they are very close, but it is much more difficult to see the other end of the field.
From these sections, there is a possibility that the field goal post could be an obstruction to the view, but it is a thin structure and it should not block much of the field. And if you do happen to miss the action live, you'll have a great head-on view of one of the videobards above each endzone.
LEVEL 100 SIDELINES (SECTIONS 101 - 106, 134 - 138 / 115 - 125)
Lower sideline seats at Lincoln Financial Field feature 31 to 35 rows of seating with roughly the last five rows under cover, making them a popular destination during wet and/or warm days. In addition to being covered, the highest rows in these sections are closest to the lowest concourse and have the best views from the lower level. Unfortunately, the shallow seating bowl of the lower level pushes these rows further from the field than they need to be.
The Eagles occupy the west sideline, making sections 137-138 and 101-103 the most popular seats in the lower deck. Their midfield view and close proximity to the players often make them the most expensive tickets for Eagles games. Sections between the goalline and 20 yard line are closer to the field than midfield seats, giving them a great angle towards the 50 yardline. The sitelines in sections like 123 and 124 are much improved due to this feature, making them a good bang for your buck.
