Philadelphia Eagles Tailgating
Soar like an adventurous bird and take a trip in your motorhome to Philly for a Philadelphia Eagles football game and tailgating extravaganza.
Event information
Philadelphia Eagles tailgating at Lincoln Financial Field offers one of the NFL's most passionate fan experiences, with parking lots opening 4.5 hours before kickoff and designated tailgating areas throughout the sprawling South Philadelphia Sports Complex. Located on Broad Street, the 70,000-seat stadium accommodates oversized vehicles in multiple lots for $80-90, though no overnight parking is permitted, and RVs must depart after the game. The NFL's clear bag policy strictly limits items to 12" x 6" x 12" clear bags or small clutches under 4.5" x 6.5", with no on-site bag check available. The greater Philadelphia area provides excellent RV rental options from the city center to nearby Allentown and Camden, putting you within easy reach of both the stadium and the region's rich historical attractions while ensuring convenient pre-game staging at area campgrounds.
What makes Eagles tailgating special?
Eagles tailgating at Lincoln Financial Field represents pure passion—this is where some of the NFL's most dedicated fans gather to create an electric atmosphere that's part celebration, part ritual, and completely unforgettable. The stadium's location in South Philadelphia's Sports Complex means you're surrounded by fellow Philadelphia sports fans attending Phillies and Flyers games, creating a year-round sports community atmosphere.
Tailgating is permitted in designated lots (shown in pink on stadium maps), with Lot K being particularly popular among the most hardcore Eagles fans. The passionate green-and-white-clad crowds arrive early, fire up their grills, and transform parking lots into temporary neighborhoods where strangers become friends over shared cheesesteaks and Eagles chants.
What sets Eagles tailgating apart is the authentic Philadelphia spirit—this isn't just about the game, it's about continuing generations of family traditions, neighborhood pride, and that uniquely Philly combination of toughness and heart. From the famous fight song to the pre-game rituals, every moment builds toward supporting the Birds.

Getting around
Plan to be on your feet practicing the home field chant of “E-A-G-L-E-S, Eagles!” and wear your comfiest shoes to do so. Make sure they are warm, too, if the tailgating event is a cold one. Sometimes a pair of boots does the trick to keep the feet cozy and ready to walk around prior to the game. Be prepared to walk from the tailgate party to the stadium at a speed determined by the crowd. ADA patrons have easier access to certain entrances, so be sure to note which one will be closest for you.
What to pack
Clothing
Gameday clothing can include your favorite style of team jersey layered over a shirt. Put your best look forward and be ready to represent the winning team with head gear like a knit cap in team colors, and mittens for keeping the hands warm. Of course, an August game will not require cold-weather gear, but a rain poncho is recommended in the event wet weather rolls into Eagles Stadium.
Gear
Separate your must-have gear list into categories. Kitchen essentials include pots, dishes, glasses, a cutting board, and utensils like a can opener and measuring cup set. For smooth hookups, remember clamps, hoses, and screws. Extra batteries and cell phone chargers are necessities you don’t want to leave on the counter at home. Gear for around the campfire should be all in fun; games, flashlights, and marshmallow holders can top the list.
Health & Safety
Of late, the Spotted Lanternfly is becoming an invasive species in Pennsylvania. A threat to trees and agriculture, the bug coats the leaves and stems and promotes the growth of mold. Do not move firewood from one campground to another for fear of spreading this destructive insect over the state. As well, be aware of campground rules when it comes to fire safety. Consult the camping resort manager or park ranger for clarification on bans as you approach your departure time.
Where to eat
Cooking
The cool, clean air of an open campsite encourages a healthy appetite. Fill up on pancakes before heading to the tailgating event. Bring your own food to Lincoln Financial Field, or join in the fun at an organized tailgate venue like Xfinity Live!, where you can buy your favorite pregame snacks. Either way, remember to keep your tailgate spot cleared of garbage and not to block access to laneways with your cooking equipment or chairs.
Restaurants
You can hardly visit the city of brotherly love without sampling a Philly cheesesteak sandwich. Choose a restaurant either at the stadium or in the surrounding neighborhood to taste a version of this classic Philadelphia food. Seasoned fries, hoagies, and soft pretzels are treats you have to try. Sit-down meals are within your reach of Lincoln Field, too.
Vendors
Visit the Philadelphia Eagles pro shop for jazzy tailgating merchandise like cups, hats, and apparel. You may be lucky enough to see the super-mascot Swoop or a green and silver-clad cheerleader pass by on their way to meet fans or perform on the field as part of the pregame entertainment.

Medical
Familiarize yourself with the location of the first-aid stations located on levels 100 and 200. Security staff and members of the police force can direct you and assist in the event of an emergency.
