View upcoming trip

Last updated: 5/16/2026

Lincoln Financial Field anchors the South Philadelphia Sports Complex, where the SEPTA Broad Street Line runs directly to NRG Station — a 15-minute subway ride from Center City hotels. Eagles tailgating is a contact sport of its own, with lots opening four and a half hours before kickoff and an intensity that visiting fans talk about for years. The entire complex shares real estate with Citizens Bank Park and the Wells Fargo Center, making Philly one of the few cities where you can catch three different sports without moving your car.
