Unfortunately no fans will be allowed at FedExField this Sunday, which means the annual Eagles takeover is not possible. Washington might actually benefit from having zero fans vs. a 50/50 split in Landover.
If sitting at home and watching on television isn’t your thing, a New Jersey drive-in theater is showing the game, as reported by TMZ:
Eagles maniac Rocco Gallelli happens to own a drive-in venue about 20 minutes from Lincoln Financial Stadium (sic) and he’s turning it into tailgate central.
The spot features a giant 40-foot video screen — and holds up to 150 vehicles … where families can watch the game as a group, while social distancing at the same time.
Gallelli tells TMZ Sports … he’s charging $40 per car to get in and fans can either bring their own food and drinks to consume — or order from a food stand at the venue.
We’re told the goal is to simulate a real Eagles tailgate in a safe, party-style atmosphere … so they’re even bringing in a DJ to blast music before the game kicks off.
Okay, first of all TMZ, it’s Lincoln Financial FIELD, not STADIUM. Thank you.
Second, this is going down at Rhythm and Reels, off the Black Horse Pike in Williamstown. Click that blue hyperlink for ticket information.
They’ll organize the cars in this fashion, according to the website:
Looks pretty fun. According to the calendar, they’ll be doing this event for Eagles games throughout the season. And on September 25th, they’ve got a Van Halen cover band playing with an Ozzy cover band, so I’ll definitely try to make it out to that one. Hopefully they do some Van Hagar tunes as well, because Sammy’s time with the band was underrated.
Go Birds.
