Philadelphia Eagles superfan with his own ‘Drive-In’ organizes ‘massive’ tailgate and watch party for Washington game

Even with Eagles fans not allowed at Lincoln Financial Field for the immediate future, a superfan in ensuring that fans from around the region can watch the season opener in comfort.

According to TMZ Sports, Rocco Gallelli is a huge fan of the Philadelphia Eagles and he just so happens to own his own drive-in movie theater. With the pandemic preventing fans from gathering in South Philadelphia, Gaillelli is hoping to have a large gathering on his property.

The spot features a giant 40-foot video screen — and holds up to 150 vehicles … where families can watch the game as a group, while social distancing at the same time.

Gallelli tells TMZ Sports … he’s charging $40 per car to get in and fans can either bring their own food and drinks to consume — or order from a food stand at the venue.

We’re told the goal is to simulate a real Eagles tailgate in a safe, party-style atmosphere … so they’re even bringing in a DJ to blast music before the game kicks off.

At $40 a pop, Gallelli could walk away with about $5k for his generosity.
