Things to Do
Broad Street Subway Game Day Ride
Riding the Broad Street Line subway south on Eagles or Phillies game day is one of the most authentic and electric fan experiences in American sports — a standing-room-only car of passionate Philadelphia fans in green or red singing, chanting, and radiating the kind of genuine community energy that makes Philly sports culture legendary. The 15-minute ride from City Hall to the sports complex is essentially a rolling pregame party, and emerging onto Pattison Avenue into the sea of tailgating fans is a sensory jolt every first-time visitor remembers. It costs $2.50 and delivers memories worth far more.

Lincoln Financial Field
The Linc is home to the famously passionate Philadelphia Eagles fan base, where the Fly Eagles Fly chant shakes the stands and the tailgate scene in the South Philadelphia sports complex parking lots is among the NFL's most intense. Eagles home games are considered some of the loudest and most intimidating in the league.
