Philadelphia Eagles Tickets Information

Philadelphia Eagles
Based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, The Philadelphia Eagles are a professional American football team. They joined the NFL as an expansion team in 1933. Currently members of the Eastern Division of the National Football Conference in the National Football League, the team has won three NFL titles and made two Super Bowl appearances (1980, 2004).

Franchise history
The Eagles are considered one of if not the best pro football franchise in the world. Midway through the 1931 season, Philadelphia's representative in the NFL, the Frankford Yellow Jackets, went bankrupt and stopped operations. After more than a year of searching for a suitable replacement, the NFL awarded the dormant franchise to an association headed by former Yellow Jackets owners Bert Bell and Lud Wray, in exchange for an entry fee of $2,500. Drawing inspiration from the insignia of the centerpiece of President Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal, the National Recovery Act, Bell and Wray named the new franchise the Philadelphia Eagles. The Eagles, along with the Pittsburgh Steelers and the outdated Cincinnati Reds, joined the NFL as expansion teams.

In 1943, the team temporarily merged with the Pittsburgh Steelers to form a team known as "the Phil-Pitt Steagles." (Dissolved at the end of the 1943 season.) By the late 1940s, head coach Earle "Greasy" Neale and running back Steve Van Buren led the team to three successive NFL Championship Games, winning two of them in 1948 and 1949. Those two Championships mark the Eagles as the only NFL team ever to win back to back Championships by shutouts, defeating the Chicago Cardinals 7-0 in 1948 and the Los Angeles Rams 14-0 in 1949.

The Eagles won their third NFL championship in 1960 under the leadership of future Pro Football Hall of Famers Norm Van Brocklin and Chuck Bednarik; the head coach was Buck Shaw. The 1960 Eagles, by a score of 17-13, became the only team to defeat Vince Lombardi and his Packers in the playoffs.

Not qualified for the postseason again until 1978 when head coach Dick Vermeil and quarterback Ron Jaworski led the team to four uninterrupted playoff appearances, including a Super Bowl XV loss to the Oakland Raiders.

In 1986, the arrival of head coach Buddy Ryan refreshed team performance and ignited the fan base. From 1988 to 1996, the Eagles qualified for the playoffs during 6 out of those 9 seasons. Among the team's offensive stars during that period were quarterback Randall Cunningham, tight end Keith Jackson, and running back Keith Byars. But the "Gang Green" defense defined the team, led by Reggie White, Jerome Brown, Clyde Simmons, Seth Joyner, Wes Hopkins, Byron Evans, Eric Allen, and Andre Waters.

In 1999, the Eagles hired head coach Andy Reid and drafted quarterback Donovan McNabb and eventually succeeded in playing in four consecutive conference championship games between 2001 and 2004. After losing the conference championship in 2001 to the St. Louis Rams, in 2002 to the eventual Super Bowl Champions Tampa Bay Buccaneers and 2003 to the Carolina Panthers, the Eagles finally advanced to the Super Bowl, Super Bowl XXXIX, where they were defeated by the New England Patriots, 24-21.

For several decades, the Eagles' colors were Kelly green, silver, and white. Since the 1950s, the club's helmets have featured eagle wings. At first they were silver wings on a Kelly green helmet. Then in 1969, the team wore two helmet versions: Kelly green helmets with white wings for road games, and white helmets with Kelly green wings for home games. From 1970 to 1973, they wore the white helmets with Kelly green wings exclusively before switching back to Kelly green helmets with silver wings. By 1974 the silver wings took on a white outline, and this style on a Kelly green helmet became standard for over two decades. In 1969, the team introduced a stylized logo featuring an eagle carrying a football in its claws. This logo was later redrawn to be more realistic.

Eagles training camp
The Eagles begin each season with summer training camp at the football practice facilities of Lehigh University in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, about 50 miles north of Philadelphia in Pennsylvania's Lehigh Valley.

Eagles' training camps routinely draw some of the largest and most enthusiastic crowds, often as many as 10,000 fans, of any NFL training camp. The Eagles' twice-daily practices are held from mid-July to mid-August.

On the first day of 2004 training camp, over 100,000 spectators appeared to see new star Terrell Owens (no longer a team's member).
