Lincoln Financial Field is the home of the NFL's Philadelphia Eagles. Built across the street from the former spot of the not-at-all-missed Veterans Stadium, it is part of the massive Philadelphia Sports Complex, which includes Citizens Bank Park, home of the 2008 World Champion Phillies and Wells Fargo Center, home of the NHL's Flyers, Arena Football's Soul, and the NBA's 76ers.
The second of the three to be built, "The Linc," is a vast improvement over the Vet.
Food & Beverage 
5/5
There is nothing missing here. You have all your ballpark classics, along with standard Philly classics like hoagies, cheesesteaks, soft pretzels and water ice, which is like the best Italian Ice you've ever had, only better. They offer veggie burgers (pretty good) and Vegan hot dogs (gross, don't bother. I had to get a Tony Luke's roast pork sandwich to wash it down). There is really good BBQ, and even turkey legs.
Do not, under any circumstances, leave the stadium without getting an order of Crab Fries from the mini Chickie's and Pete's. You will regret it for the rest of your life (unless you go to the big Chickie's and Pete's after the game- more on that later).
The beer selection is very good and well priced. There are none over eight bucks, and most are around seven.

Atmosphere 5/5
The atmosphere here is amazing. Tailgating is crazy, and it can be very difficult to play here for visitors. The stadium has special metal flaps over the top of each side which are designed to reflect the crowd noise back onto the field. When the Eagles score a touchdown, the fans sing the Eagles' fight song, "Fly, Eagles, Fly." (You saw "Invincible." You know the words, don't lie.) When the stadium is full, which is always, it gives you goose bumps. Unless you are a visiting fan. The stadium is not old enough to have a deep history yet, though Eagles fans would argue that the 2005 NFC Title was pretty historical, and then push you down a flight of stairs, boo you, throw snowballs at you and intentionally vomit on you for disagreeing.
