| Doors open | For Eagles games, the Pepsi Plaza (North end) generally opens three hours prior to kickoff. Club and Suites typically open two hours prior, and inner stadium gates open an hour and a half before the scheduled start of the game. |
| Cashless? | Lincoln Financial Field is a cashless stadium. Accepted forms of payment at concessions and the Eagles Pro Shop include credit or debit cards, Apple Pay, and Google Pay. Cash-to-card conversion machines are available at the Pepsi Lobby and the main concourse behind Sections 105 and 122. |
| Rideshare zone | Designated rideshare drop-off and pickup zones are located near Pattison Avenue and South 11th Street, directly next to the Broad Street Line subway station. |
| Transit | The quickest way to Lincoln Financial Field is via the SEPTA Broad Street Line (Orange Line) to NRG Station, which is a short walk from the stadium. Several SEPTA bus routes, including 4, 17, and 37, also serve the area. Fans from South Jersey can take the PATCO Speedline to Center City Philadelphia and transfer to the Broad Street Line. |
Parking
Parking areas generally open four and a half hours before kickoff. Pre-purchasing parking passes is encouraged, especially for official stadium lots which are color-coded. Considering public transportation or rideshare services can help avoid traffic congestion. Accessible parking is available.
