Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie said the team is conducting 'exploratory research' on the prospect of a new or renovated stadium, with the lease on Lincoln Financial Field set to expire in 2032. Lurie said the team is looking at recent NFL stadium projects as well as international stadium renovations as case studies, and that all options are on the table for the team's future home, including potentially leaving South Philadelphia.
Why it matters
The Eagles' stadium decision will have major implications for the team and its fans, as well as the surrounding South Philadelphia community that has hosted the team since 1971. With the team's facilities aging compared to other NFC East rivals, Lurie is weighing whether to invest in renovations or build a brand new stadium, which could potentially be located outside of the city.
The details
Lurie said the team's exploratory research on a new or renovated stadium dates back to at least last year, when the organization surveyed season ticket holders. He said the team is studying recent NFL stadium projects like those of the Tennessee Titans and Buffalo Bills, as well as international stadium renovations such as Bernabéu in Madrid and Camp Nou in Barcelona, to see what they can learn. Lurie said the team is not rushing into any decisions and wants to 'maximize fan amenities and attract the best possible environment for Philadelphia.'
- The lease on Lincoln Financial Field is set to expire in 2032.
- Lurie said the team aims to have a more 'definitive approach' to their stadium plans in the next year or two.

What they’re saying
“Whatever's best for the fans. I mean, we don't really go on a geographical basis. It's whatever's best for the fans. And I can't tell you where [the planned stadium in] Cleveland is, Barcelona is, I don't know. Honestly, the bottom line is whatever is best for the fans.”
— Jeffrey Lurie, Eagles Owner and CEO
“Is there anything we can learn from Nashville and Buffalo? Is there anything we can learn from the renovations in Madrid and Barcelona? It's really important. I think we want to maximize fan amenities and attract the best possible environment for Philadelphia. And to do that, you've really got to do the exploratory research. Don't rush into it. This is a big decision.”
— Jeffrey Lurie, Eagles Owner and CEO
What’s next
In the next year or two, Lurie said the team aims to have a more 'definitive approach' to their stadium plans.
The takeaway
The Eagles' stadium decision will be a major undertaking that could reshape the team's future and its relationship with the city of Philadelphia. Lurie is taking a deliberate approach, studying best practices from other NFL and international stadiums, to ensure the team makes the right long-term decision for its fans and the community.
