Fast Facts:
Survivors Take the Field!
Just before kick-off, all survivors will be invited to run onto the field with the Temple Football team wearing their color-coded scarves. We will be photographing this event so your participation is critical to making a strong statement about the power of survivorship. Please report to the bottom of the steps at Section 115 45 minutes prior to kick-off. Survivors will be given a wristband at tailgate registration to show as they enter the field. Further instructions will also be given at that time. Please allow plenty of time to enter the stadium. All gates to Lincoln Financial Field will open 90 minutes prior to kick-off.
Starting October 24, patients will receive their tickets electronically from the Philadelphia Eagles Ticket Office. Please print your tickets and bring them with you. Our staff will not have extra tickets. If you received tickets but are unable to attend, please forward your ticket(s) to [email protected] as another patient may be able to use them. If you would like to purchase additional tickets, please email [email protected] or call 215-204-8499.
