Philadelphia Eagles in talks to leave Lincoln Financial Field in surprise exit and build new stadium of their own

As their lease at Lincoln Financial Field draws to a close, the Philadelphia Eagles are “starting to talk” about constructing a new stadium.

Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie said that the team might decide to leave the stadium where they have played since 2003.

Since the Temple Owls, an NCAA team, moved into the arena more than 21 years ago, Philadelphia has shared the 67,594-person capacity.

However, it might be time for the Eagles to move away from the nest and establish their own residence somewhere else.

The current lease on Lincoln Financial Field is scheduled to expire in 2032, Lurie acknowledged.

It also makes it possible to start thinking about future goals, even though that is still seven years away.

Lurie, the 73-year-old club owner, acknowledged that he and the Philadelphia executives are doing just that: “We’re starting to talk all about it and think about what our options are.”

In order to keep the weather out and enable Philadelphia to host some of the largest football events, Lurie, who has owned the Eagles since 1994, was questioned about the prospect of relocating to a stadium with domes.

“I don’t have a strong opinion about it because you’re torn,” he clarified.

“I adore playing football outside. I adore it. The frigid games are my favorite. The steamy games appeal to me. The snow games appeal to me.

However, is Philadelphia deserving of hosting the Super Bowl? The Final Four of the NCAA? Many wonderful events.

It’s a fantastic city for sports. Is that what it deserves? Indeed, you must strike a balance between all of those factors.

Although it has never hosted a Super Bowl, Philadelphia will soon host another important athletic event.

The 2026 World Cup will be held in 16 stadiums in the US, Canada, and Mexico, including Lincoln Financial Field.
