Realistically, what is the leash on Elliott if he starts the season cold? Two weeks?

Spectrum 2.0 by 2030 (yeah, right).

Take the subway. It’s very easy and it takes you right to the sports complex.

The subway can be hell trying to get out honestly

If you want to get on the road after just drive and park but wont be cheap. 95 South is right there

FIGHT

( I don't even know if this supports either of you. I just like the fighting)

To appease a disgruntled member of my wife's family who was an WMU grad, I imported the YouTube highlights video in an NLE to do a frame by frame analysis of the end zone angle of WMU's last FG with 38 seconds left in the 4th.

You can see from that angle that the clock shown on the score overlay matches the stadium clock as it ticks down from 37s to 36s to 35s before the camera pans away. Meaning NBC's feed couldn't have drifted any more than 33ms (gap between individual frames of a 1080p30 broadcast). They have a strong case if it's true that the refs must use the stadium clock rather than this super secret relay review clock that nobody can see in real time.

Parking was 55 dollars last year I believe. I park in the Phillies lot.

Wouldn't be surprised to see it go up another 10 dollars. They raise the price pretty frequently.

App_Eagle,

My only info is for game day.

Do not spend a lot of time in the lots for tailgating. It’s fun as hell, but, since this is your first game, get into the Linc as soon as possible, as there’s so so much to do in there.

The tailgate experience can be had for a longer time if you ever (should) come up for a second or third Eagles game.

Also, by getting into the Linc as early as you can, the ticket line to enter the stadium, the concessions lines, the bathroom lines, etc…will be a bit shorter. I learned this lesson the hard way, many many years ago. 😎

What time would you recommend getting to the Linc for a 1pm game? I’ve also decided I’m probably gonna buy a parking pass and drive myself to the game since I plan on heading home right after the game

I agree.

Do you have a season record prediction you want to submit? I really have no idea what to expect from the offense. 11-6 seems as likely as any.

Personally, I get to the Phillies lot for 10:30. Opens between 10-10:30.

Walk over to chickie and Pete's. Quick bite to eat. Walk back or sometimes take their free shuttle back over depending on time or weather.

By the time you get back you'll be able to access the plaza outside the stadium, and the pro shop. And then, they'll open the stadium so you can walk around and then go find your seats.

Got it.

You also want to make sure you have enough time to fight a father in the K lot as his son watches on

I hope the Michigan final score is overturned and given to Michigan. For too long have society's sheep just accepted "The final score is what it is and we must accept it as truth." No, we don't. Illegitimate is illegitimate.

And next up: MLB acknowledging the 2009 and 2022 Phillies as the champs and NFL acknowledging the 2004 and 2022 Eagles. Never too late to do the right thing and join the side of truth and reality. Some of us are already there(me).

What would be even better would be for Michigan to step up and say this was wrong we are giving the win to Western Michigan

Dayum! I remember a time when I parked in the Vet lot for $5. I last had season tickets in 2011. I think it was $25 for the old Acme lot then.

Which was the lot that had all the whippet vendors again?

You should just camp out in the parking lot like a real fan.

Sadly, the 1998 Eagles did suffer 3 shutouts. 38-0 to Seattle, 34-0 to Dallas, and 20-0 to the Giants. Not consecutively of course.

The 38-0 shut out was the season opener for the team in 98. The season didn't get any better after that loss.

Get to the Linc by 9:30 am for a 1 pm game. Sounds early, yes, but, the time before a game, it goes by very very very quickly. Too quickly. So, you will want to enjoy, as much as possible, the game day experience. Which means…..GET INTO THE GAME/STADIUM as soon as you can. It’s awesome in there. Kudos to the Eagles for making the "game day fan experience” so much fun.

And IMO, getting the parking pass, to which you speak of, is a smart choice. I live in Delaware, so I always drive to a game, and then drive back home right after. It’s such a pleasurable car ride home after an Iggles win. 😊

Highly unlikely it gets overturned. It would be unprecedented and out of character given the NCAA's past decisions on somewhat similar matters.

Yes, the terminal is catty corner to the Marriott and the christmas village is set up on Love Park - so only 2 blocks away. There's also a Hard Rock Cafe around the corner, if you want to see some WAS losers but they probably will have jumped into the Potomac by then.

App_Eagle,

The Christmas Village thing, if I’m thinking of what it actually is, is stupid as hell. My wife and I walked through it in like 15 minutes. And we both said "That was IT??!!” A bunch of "Christmasy booths” selling overpriced, silly knickknacks. It was a craft/crap show, that’s all. Skip it.

I lived in Philly for school from '04-'12 and went to every home game with my Dad before moving to Pittsburgh for work. Moved to NY metro area 7 years ago and generally go to home opener. And, to be honest, I guess I'm old now because it's a freaking headache getting in and out. When my son is old enough to get into it, I'll probably start doing the games again.
