Well, it’s almost upon us. If there is one thing that gets me through winter, it’s football. I was lucky enough to win two tickets to the last Philadelphia Eagles preseason game last Thursday against the Jets. So after a day of meetings, I headed to the City of Brotherly Love for a little taste of what the Eagles have to offer this season.

Soon everyone will pack away baseball caps and get jerseys and scarves ready. But this game was a bit different, given it was a hot summer night. Nonetheless, the green guys (of course) came up with a W. Aside from the score, it is always a great feeling walking into Lincoln Financial Field. Between the smell of Chickie and Pete’s crab fries, Tony Luke’s cheesesteaks and the cold Bud Lights, you really can’t go wrong. For me, being surrounded by Philadelphia fans is something that adds to the whole experience. Granted, we ARE the greatest fans in the world!

Afterwards, our group went to XFinity Live, a great spot to visit if you happen to be in the area and don’t have tickets to the game. Check it out when you’re in town!
