Philadelphia Eagles Tickets Information
The Philadelphia Eagles are one of 4 teams in the National Football Conference East Division (NFC East) – along with the Dallas Cowboys, New York Giants, and Washington Redskins – and one of 16 teams in the NFC which in turn is one of the two conferences in the National Football League (NFL).
If the NFL’s Frankford Yellow Jackets didn’t go bankrupt in 1931 and, consequently, cease operations, the Philadelphia Eagles might never exist. The Philadelphia Eagles have been playing pro football since joining the NFL as an expansion team in 1933. Before joining the NFC East in 1970 the Eagles have played as part of a number of different divisions and conferences – starting in the Eastern Division until joining the American Conference in 1950, then the Eastern Conference in 1953 and, in 1967, its Capitol Division.
During that time, they won 4 NFL East division championships, three consecutively (1947-49, 1960), 1 NFL Eastern conference championship (1960), and 3 NFL championships, 2 consecutively – in 1948 beating the Chicago Cardinals 7-0, in 1949 beating the Los Angeles Rams 14-0, and in 1960 beating the Green Bay Packers 17-13.
Since joining the NFC East Division, the Eagles have won 7 NFC East Division championships (1980, 1988, 2001-04, 2006) and 2 NFC conference championships (1980 and 2004). Since the advent of the Super Bowl, the Eagles have appeared in 2 Super Bowls but didn’t win either one.
Their entire NFC East career, they played their home games at Veterans Stadium (aka The Vet) until 2003 when they moved to the 68,000+ seat Lincoln Financial Field. The team uniform colors are midnight green, silver, black, and white. Their mascot is Swoop.
They are currently under the leadership of head coach Andy Reid who has been in this role since 1999. Before that, he was on the coaching and administrative staffs of the Green Bay Packers and the NCAA football teams of the University of Missouri, the University of Texas at El Paso, Northern Arizona University, San Francisco State University, and Brigham Young University.
A number of Eagles have earned their way into the pro football history books, including the following who’ve been honored by entry into NFL Hall of Fame: center/linebacker Chuck Bednarik (1967), owner Bert Bell (1963), offensive tackle Bob Brown (2004), tight end Mike Ditka (1988), end Bill Hewitt (1971), quarterback Sonny Jurgensen (1983), wide receiver James Lofton (2003), running back Ollie Matson (1972), wide receiver Tommy McDonald (1998), coach Earle “Greasy” Neale (1969), end Pete Pihos (1970), center Jim Ringo (1981), quarterback Norm Van Brocklin (1971), running back Steve Van Buren (1965), defensive end/tackle Reggie White (2006), and center/linebacker Alex Wojciechowicz (1968).
