Fans no longer allowed at Eagles home games due to spike in COVID-19 cases

The city of Philadelphia has now reversed course on fans being allowed inside of Lincoln Financial Field for Eagles games after new outdoor restrictions were passed down on Monday due to the ongoing health crisis and the recent increase in COVID-19 cases in the region.

As a result, the Eagles will not be able to host fans at Lincoln Financial Field the team announced.

On October 13, the Eagles and the city announced a limited capacity of fans returning to Lincoln Financial Field under the guidelines set forth by the National Football League and public health experts, and with the approval of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the City of Philadelphia.

At the time stadium occupancy was limited to 7,500 total people – including players, coaches, staff, and media – for previous games against the Ravens, Giants, and Cowboys.

The Eagles have three remaining home games in the 2020 regular season, starting with a Monday night contest against Seattle on November 30.
