A busy weekend at the Sports Complex is bringing massive crowds, tight traffic and star-studded entertainment to the City of Brotherly Love and Sisterly Affection.<\/p>\n
From the Eagles’ sold-out public practice to concerts by Chris Brown and Katy Perry, fans of all kinds will be flocking to Philly. With multiple events overlapping, event organizers are urging visitors to take public transportation.<\/p>\n
Eagles Open Practice<\/p>\n
For months, Eagles fans have been surviving off highlights, meaningless depth chart debates and refreshing their social media feeds for the latest training camp clips, to get their fix of the reigning Super Bowl champs. Thursday night’s preseason opener<\/a> against the Bengals gave them their first taste of live action since February, but Sunday is when fans get to see the starters up close and personal.<\/p>\n The Eagles’ annual Public Practice<\/a> is back at the Linc on Sunday, benefiting the Eagles Autism Foundation<\/a>. Tickets are sold out, of course, but if you have tickets, here’s what to know.<\/p>\n Gates open at 4 p.m. and parking is free, but only until 6 p.m. After this, it will cost $40 to park.
