Construction of $512 million Lincoln Financial Field began in May
2001, and by August 2003 the stadium had hosted its first event.
According to the Eagles, they have sold out every game including the
first regular season game in "The Linc's" history, where the Eagles lost
17-0 to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Monday Night Football.
Later that inaugural season, the Eagles hosted the first of two NFC
championship games, the second in 2004, 27-10 win over Atlanta, sent the
Eagles to their second Super Bowl appearance.
Lincoln Financial Field's amenities are a far cry from the stadium it
replaced, Veterans Stadium. The Linc's front row is 60 feet from the
field's sideline, or half the distance of that at the old Veterans
Stadium.
