Eagles Issue Travel Advisory with SEPTA Shit Show Affecting Home Opener

In light of the uncertainties with respect to SEPTA’s service, the Philadelphia Eagles are issuing fan guidance for Thursday’s home opener at Lincoln Financial Field.
Fans with tickets to Thursday’s game should plan to arrive early and allow for additional travel time to Lincoln Financial Field. The Eagles are encouraging everyone to be inside the stadium by 7:45 p.m.
Parking lots in the South Philadelphia Sports Complex will open earlier than what is typically advertised for home games. All parking lots will open at 1:30 p.m. Please carpool if possible.
As a courtesy to all Eagles fans, tailgates should be consolidated so that all parking spaces can be made available to every fan. This can be done by arranging a tailgate setup in front of or behind the parked vehicle within the painted white lines of the parking spot.
To avoid added congestion, the Eagles are asking fans without a game ticket to not travel down to the South Philadelphia Sports Complex. Arrangements should be made to enjoy the game with family and friends at another location.
As a reminder to those whose only option is to take public transportation, SEPTA is operating with limited service. Because changes to service and routes are continuing to evolve, fans should check the website frequently for updates.
“the Eagles are asking fans without a game ticket to not travel down to the South Philadelphia Sports Complex”
Good luck with that. Fat chance! It’s Philly vs. Dallas, opening night as they raise the banner at the Linc. The place is gonna be absolutely crawling with tailgaters, pretzel sellers, influencers, and cockroach Cowboy fans. It’s gonna be an absolute shit show as SEPTA’s reduced service limits the amount of trains they can run to NRG Station, or whatever they’re calling it these days. There will be no extra express trains, the ride home will only have about 3-4 trains instead of the typical ten, and SEPTA says they can handle 4,000 fans opposed to the normal 16,000. What could possibly go wrong?
It’s gonna be the shit show to end all shit shows! Please send video and pictures so we can show everyone just how bad it is down there right now. It was a nightmare even before the SEPTA crisis. Imagine what it’s gonna look like now. It’s easier to get around in Bangladesh and India these days.
