The Eagles have never left Philadelphia, but they have moved around it. Since their first NFL season in 1933 they have called six stadiums home: two baseball parks they rented, the city’s Municipal Stadium, the University of Pennsylvania’s Franklin Field, Veterans Stadium and, since 2003, Lincoln Financial Field in South Philadelphia.
Here is every home in order, with the years the Eagles played there, what made each one matter and what stands on the site today. Each stadium with a ThrillZing guide links to it.
