The Eagles like to weave their own history into their facilities, and that is ever so clear in the lobby of Lincoln Financial Field. Inside the team's official apparel store, the Pro Shop, the walls are lined with plaques of every player in Philadelphia history who has been voted into the Pro-Bowl. In the lobby itself, a high-ceiling area that leads into all areas of the stadium, from regular game-day seats to presidential suites designed for the likes of Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie among others; gigantic pictures of legendary Eagles cover the walls. From Chuck Bednarik's famous black-and-white pose over Frank Gifford to the memorable image of Donovan McNabb holding up his draft-day jersey, the lobby images bring back plenty of Eagles moments. The team's progression of on-field uniform styles, as well as decade-by-decade accounts of significant accomplishments, are also featured in the welcoming area.

The Press Room

This might not be as interesting to some, but the press box in the stadium has its fair share of intriguing facts. The majority of Eagles fans are not also employed to report about the team, so they likely aren't aware of the rules pertaining to the Linc's press room. The area itself isn't anything special, but the chairs are comfortable and the view is as good as it gets in terms of the field. The spectating area is covered with huge glass windows that prevent any sounds from the field/crowd interfering with the press work, while various TVs fixed atop the windows broadcast games on a 30-second delay to allow writers a chance to catch any action they may have missed, but need to watch in order to analyze. The top row of seating in the press box is reserved for statisticians, who also are accompanied by sets of telephones used to communicate with those on the field responsible for making note of broken records or noteworthy achievements on the field. Important rules of the press room include the prohibition of wearing Eagles colors, openly cheering for a certain team, and wearing a black shirt along with black pants, which would indicate support for the Raiders in the event of a game vs. Oakland.
