Few fan bases in football anticipate September the way Philadelphia does, and the Eagles have given the city plenty to roar about. The franchise has won two Super Bowls in the past decade, including a 40-22 win over the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LIX to close the 2024 season, denying Kansas City the first three-peat in Super Bowl history. Demand for Philadelphia Eagles tickets stays stubbornly high for a simple reason: the team has sold out every home game since the 1999 season and ranks among the NFL's best in attendance year after year, and the NFC East schedule brings the Dallas Cowboys, New York Giants, and Washington Commanders to Lincoln Financial Field every season carrying decades of bad blood.
The franchise was founded on July 8, 1933, when a group led by Bert Bell acquired the rights to an NFL team in Philadelphia, replacing the bankrupt Frankford Yellow Jackets. The early years were lean: the Eagles lost their first game 56-0 and waited until 1944 for a winning season. The first golden age arrived under head coach Greasy Neale and Hall of Fame running back Steve Van Buren, with NFL championships in 1948 and 1949, both won by shutout. A third title followed in 1960, when Norm Van Brocklin, Chuck Bednarik, and head coach Buck Shaw closed their careers by beating Vince Lombardi's Green Bay Packers 17-13 at Franklin Field, still the only championship game loss of Lombardi's career. Conference championship seasons in 1980 under Dick Vermeil and 2004 under Andy Reid ended in Super Bowl defeats, and then the breakthrough came in the 2017 season: backup quarterback Nick Foles stepped in late in the year and led the Eagles past Tom Brady and the New England Patriots 41-33 in Super Bowl LII, the franchise's first Lombardi Trophy and its first championship in 57 years. The 2024 season delivered the second title, powered by Saquon Barkley's 2,000-yard rushing season, just the ninth in NFL history, and a Super Bowl win over the Chiefs with Jalen Hurts named MVP.
Since opening in 2003 in the South Philadelphia Sports Complex, Lincoln Financial Field has been one of the most reliably packed venues in the league, and the rituals inside it are stitched into the city's identity. Every Eagles touchdown sets off the fight song Fly, Eagles Fly, and the E-A-G-L-E-S chant rolls through the stands no matter the score. The NFC East matchups are the circled dates for anyone holding Eagles tickets: the rivalry with the Cowboys is regarded as among the most acrimonious in the NFL, and the feud with the Giants dates to the Eagles' founding season in 1933, fed by the long-running New York versus Philadelphia animosity between the two cities. Eagles fans fill the building in midnight green whether the team is contending or rebuilding, and they have for generations.
