Eagles can now have 7,500 fans at The Linc if the city of Philadelphia lifts restrictions

Eagles can have 7,500 fans at home games if Philadelphia allows it

On Tuesday, Pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolf announced that as of Friday outdoor sporting events in the state can now have fans at 15% capacity or up to a max of 7,500 just in time for the Eagles/Steelers game in Pittsburgh on Sunday.

The city of Philadelphia would have to agree for there to now be fans allowed at Lincoln Financial Field.

Eagles games at Lincoln Financial Field are classified as private events, and not public events and yet “local authorities” still have the right to ban fans from the stadiums per Philadelphia Managing Director Brian Abernathy.
