Some More Training Camp Details
What will training camp at Lincoln Financial Field look like? The Eagles provided some details Thursday.
Each of the five practices are expected to start at 12:30 (time on August 17 may change to 8:15 am if Phillies game gets flexed). Beginning at 10:30 am in the HeadHouse Plaza, there will be music, face-painting artists, appearances from SWOOP, and Eagles Cheerleader entertainment.
After each practice, all fans ages 14-and-under will have the opportunity to catch a pass on the field from Eagles alumni. Also, every fan entering Lincoln Financial Field will receive a scratch-off ticket. Those who receive “winning” tickets will have a chance to get player autographs after practice.
“Our goal is to have a fun atmosphere for fans as they get an up-close look at the team,” said Eagles President Don Smolenski.
Here is a look at the training camp schedule:
Sunday, July 28 – Alumni Day
The Eagles will recognize alumni players on the field prior to practice. In addition, some of the many honored players will begin signing autographs for fans in the HeadHouse Plaza at 10:30 am.
