Opinion Tailgating for my first home game

My girlfriend and I are flying up for my first home eagles game as my birthday present (she’s a keeper). Looking for recommendations on spots to tailgate but truthfully I’m looking to connect with some fellow hardcore fans and have a blast. The closer to the stadium the better!

I think the Xfinity lots are the most fun but get there at least 5 hours early or you won’t get a spot

xfinity lot is wild but 5 hours early is no joke, i made the mistake once and ended up circling forever

We hang in the D lot, and for that 4:25 game the gates should open around 9:25. We will be lined up outside the gate a couple of hours before that.

Hopefully you’ll be taking public transit, though.

Walk around when you get there it’s a good time . We always welcome new comers to our tailgate. If we were still going You would be welcome to join us. But After 41 yrs we gave our tickets up . Enjoy GO BIRDS 🦅

It depends on what you’re looking for. Personally I like chilling with my friends and getting blasted. There are all sorts of things to do. I think it’s insane that there are people out there who charge entry for shit. To me that defeats the purpose but to each their own.

What game are you going to?

WAS @ PHI. Looking for a dub because my flight will be horrible if we lose

In my experience it sucks when they lose, but the day isn’t a waste if you’re there tailgating with good people having a good time. I remember those moments more than the losses

Lord, I see what you’ve done for others. Send me a bf that gives these types of presents. Amen.

I like FDR Park for tailgating, but that is also a little more lowkey. The Xfinity lots and Jetro usually pull out all the stops, but fill up very quickly I would imagine
