We went for the EAGLE'S watch party and fun event. The traffic was so uncoordinated and ridiculously long you have to pack your patience. Once you get close enough there will be signs for specific parking lots. We were trying to go to handicapped parking. However, they have none without a parking pass for lot K nor could you drop off. So we dropped the person off at curbside.
Once we walked to the building there is a check point. No food or drinks an a light search.
Once inside there were some give away activities. We spun the wheel for free prizes. The prizes were a ring light, a pillow, fanny pack, and ink pen. The booth was running out of prizes and were giving an extra pen. But not the pillows, like they were keeping them for themselves.
There was an opportunity to take a picture with an Eagle, face paint, corn hole, darts and a marching band.
Then finding our way to the right section for seats was not to bad. We used the escalators instead of the stairs.
Then we decided to get something light to eat an drink. Those prices are so overpriced you will have a bit of sticker shock. However, you will purchase something and they know it. The lines were so long for everything. It's best to make a plan and have more than one person with you to stand at another vendor.
We decided on Little Ceasars and Chickies and Pete's. So Little Ceasars line was shorter so they wanted pizza and water. The pizza they call large was the size of a personal pizza for $14.40 and water was $6, I don't remember. So they got that and then I purchased the Eagles cup. I asked if it was refills, he asked they said yes. So I purchased 5 and a water at $63. The went to Chickie's and waited about 35 min in line to purchase 4 crab fries at $16.50 each. I couldn't believe the mark up on fries with seasonings and a small cup of cheese (they were heavily seasoned and not that wonderful for the price). Mind you they didn't even have nothing to put ketchup in. The lady offered me some cup lids to put it in. I covered the lids with napkins and put the ketchup on it, had to be creative. There was a guy whom offered to pay money to make his order. So keep in mind for those that may want to try this take cash lol.
So once we finally were able to get back to our seats, all was well until I tasted my lemonade. It was an expensive cup of water. So I wanted until the crowd calmed and went back. I went to the same server and explained the issue. He looked confused and wanted to charge me for a new lemonade. I told him it was water in the cup and you all said it was free refills. Needless to say he gave me a lemonade. For the prices here beverages should have free refills with the souvenir cup. They may lie just to get the up-sale so be careful. I will just use another vendor when I go back. The employees were very nice and helpful. Lincoln FF is a beautiful building with many areas to take pictures and create memories. The seats are probably average, so if you need a few inches book an isle seat. Just know people will be going past you all night. One lady dropped her can of beer right near our group and they were sprayed. There were plenty of kids there having fun. People left at different points in the game and it was less crowded than when we arrived. So just keep in mind for traffic the later you stay you take a chance on exit times. It was a great game. The atmosphere was fire and the Eagles won the game. The traffic leaving the stadium was not bad but it was a parking lot on the roads. Good luck and have fun, but don't forget to plan and pack...

I did want to leave a review regarding the ADA capabilities of the stadium. From my understanding LFF prides themselves on their ADA abilities and I think under normal circumstances they probably do a good job. However my experience was different.
I called ahead a couple times to the ADA line and was told where to have my Lyft drop me off in J Lot. When I arrived, guys in orange blocked me from entering. I explained I was handicapped and that I needed to access the ADA entrance. They wouldn’t let me through or talk to anyone. They sent me on a long walk down to another gate where I was told I needed to walk back to J Lot. This was very hard for me to do. I walked back and tried talking to several of the other men in orange. Finally one of them went and asked about a wheelchair for me. I was told someone would bring it but it would be a 15 minute wait.
I waited for longer than 15 minutes and was told the wheelchair people weren’t on site yet which seemed very odd. I continued to wait with another disabled guest. Eventually after most of the crowd was admitted we went to another event staff member and asked about the wheelchairs. We were told that he hadn’t been told anyone needed wheelchairs. He called another event staff supervisor who finally got us our chairs an hour after I had originally been told it would take 15 minutes.
Then it took another 30 minutes to get to my seat as they weren’t able to get me down to the floor through the mezzanine level with my floor seat ticket.
The whole thing was a HUGE hassle and spoiled the beginning of the event for me.
I will say the one shining light for me was Christoper, the guy assigned to wheel me to my seat. He did an amazing job and had the best disposition and customer service. I tried to tip him as he greatly deserved it but he wouldn’t let me.
Once I was into the stadium the staff was very helpful but it is my understanding that the hired security were the ones who had very little knowledge of what was going on and that was very problematic as they were the frontline for disabled guests to get information.
Anyways, disabled guests please be aware you may need to be mobile in order to gain entrance to large events here. And being picked up by a ride service is completely impossible. My ride couldn’t get to me so I ended up having to be driven to my hotel by a...
Read moreLincoln Financial Field is an incredible place, especially when it comes alive for events like the Army-Navy game. It’s not just any stadium—it’s the home of the Philadelphia Eagles, and it has this electric atmosphere that makes you feel like you’re part of something bigger. The energy during the Army-Navy game, though, is unmatched. The tradition, the history, and the pure rivalry between the Army Black Knights and Navy Midshipmen take over the entire space.
I remember one of our very first dates, Annemarie decided to take me to that iconic Army-Navy game. To be honest, I was blown away. This wasn’t your typical “dinner and a movie” kind of date. No, she knew how much I loved football, but this was something more special than I could’ve imagined. From the moment we stepped into Lincoln Financial Field, the excitement was in the air.
The stadium was packed, but Annemarie seemed completely at ease. As we found our seats, the sea of cadets and midshipmen took over the stands, cheering, chanting, and waving flags. It was powerful, seeing both schools lined up in their military uniforms, standing for their respective teams and country. The pride you feel just being there, it’s overwhelming. We couldn’t help but get swept up in the tradition.
We were bundled up because it was cold, but neither of us cared. It felt like the whole experience was perfect—the noise of the crowd, the flyovers, the chants, the history that surrounds this game. Sitting next to her, I realized this was the kind of person who didn’t just go with the crowd, she went out of her way to create moments. She knew what mattered and how to make something as monumental as the Army-Navy game feel personal, like it was just for us.
By the time the final whistle blew, Navy had just barely edged out Army in an intense back-and-forth, but the winner hardly mattered. It was the whole experience that stood out—the camaraderie in the stands, the shared love of the game, and this incredible connection with Annemarie.
That night, walking back from the stadium with the noise of the crowd still ringing in my ears and the lights of Lincoln Financial Field in the distance, I knew I was going to marry her. She didn’t just take me to a game; she invited me into a world where we would build these kinds of memories together for the rest...
