Lurie Says Eagles' Stadium Plans Are Exploratory, With South Philly Not Guaranteed

A direction is expected within one to two years.

Overview

  • Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie, speaking Tuesday at the NFL owners meetings in Phoenix, said the team is weighing renovation of Lincoln Financial Field against building a new stadium in the region.
  • Lurie framed the choice around fan experience and declined to commit to South Philadelphia as the long‑term site, saying the location will be whatever best serves fans.
  • The team has surveyed season-ticket holders on stadium types, asking about open air, a canopy design, an open-air covered concept, or a full dome.
  • Lurie reiterated a goal of hosting a Super Bowl, a target that would likely require a weatherized roof or a domed venue in the Philadelphia market.
  • Lincoln Financial Field’s lease runs through 2032 and the city owns the stadium, so any major upgrade would require coordination with Philadelphia officials.
