The Philadelphia Eagles held their annual Women’s Festival at Lincoln Financial Field on Sunday, June 1. The event caters to women, providing them an opportunity to experience football activities, learn the game and meet past and present players.
The event kicked off with VIP access starting at 9 a.m. For about $265 a ticket, VIPs were treated to a delicious breakfast and lunch, with chicken and waffle sandwiches, fruit, sweets and assortment of beverages.
They were gifted with an Eagles crossbody bag and had exclusive access to the locker room and trophy room before the event started.
NBC Sports Philadelphia reporter, Ashlynn Sullivan hosted the welcome address. She then passed the microphone to Kylie Kelce, who spoke about the importance of having women in sports. Kelce also took time to discuss her life and life after her husband being in the NFL.
Throughout the day, fans enjoyed trivia and games, pictures with the Super Bowl trophies and the bus, locker room tours, Birds Bingo and reviewing film with Eagles players.
A few Eagles who showed up for meet and greets include Eagles great Connor Barwin and Nakobe Dean.
Despite this being the first year the field was not open for activities because of soccer preparations, there were a few new activities that fans enjoyed.
One activity was creating a hype video, where fans recorded two short videos either clapping, “flapping their wings” and showing off their jerseys – even a group of fans chanting “Dallas sucks.” The other activity was a caricature sketchbot which took your picture and drew a simple photo of yourself.
Each year, the Eagles Women’s Festival sells out in both VIP and regular tickets, proving that the female football community is strong, especially that of a Super Bowl-winning team.
