Join the Nashville Eagles Nest Facebook group to connect with local Birds fans and find out about organized watch parties and tailgates. Tin Roof Broadway has also hosted Eagles watch parties in the past.
Must-Try Food
Nashville is the birthplace of hot chicken, and you cannot leave without trying it. The two legendary spots are:
- Prince's Hot Chicken Shack, The original. Invented in the 1930s, this is where hot chicken was born. Multiple locations now including Assembly Food Hall downtown.
- Hattie B's, More tourist-friendly with shorter lines but still delivers authentic heat. Six heat levels from "Southern" (no heat) to "Shut the Cluck Up!!!"
- 400 Degrees, Local favorite known for serious heat and authentic flavors
Things to Do
- Broadway (Lower Broadway), Nashville's famous honky-tonk strip with live music pouring out of every door. Start at Tootsie's Orchid Lounge.
- Country Music Hall of Fame, World-class museum even if country isn't your thing
- The Parthenon, Full-scale replica of the Greek original in Centennial Park
- Grand Ole Opry, Catch a show at the legendary venue if timing works out
- Hot Chicken Crawl, Hit multiple spots to crown your own champion
Travel Tips
Nashville is about 12 hours by car from Philadelphia or a quick 2-hour flight. Downtown hotels put you walking distance from Broadway and a short Uber to the stadium. Game day traffic around the stadium can be brutal, consider parking downtown and walking across the Pedestrian Bridge.
Chicago, Illinois, Week 3 Monday Night Football vs. Bears
Soldier Field Overview
One of the NFL's most historic venues, Soldier Field sits on the Lake Michigan shoreline with the Chicago skyline as its backdrop. The stadium holds about 61,500 fans and offers one of the most iconic settings in football. The Bears have played here since 1971, and the stadium's columned exterior is a registered historic landmark.
Where Eagles Fans Gather
The Reveler in the North Center neighborhood is Chicago's official Philadelphia Eagles bar. Decked out in Kelly green with Eagles memorabilia everywhere, this is THE spot for Birds fans. They hold weekly raffles during Eagles games, serve Philly-inspired food specials, and the crowd gets electric on game days. Other options include Monti's (known for incredible cheesesteaks) and Philly's Best.
Must-Try Food
Chicago's food scene rivals any city in America. The essentials:
- Deep Dish Pizza, This is a religious experience, not just a meal. Lou Malnati's (since 1971) is the classic choice with their signature Buttercrust™. Giordano's serves stuffed pizza with cheese between two crusts. Pequod's is the local favorite known for caramelized crust. Note: Deep dish takes 30-45 minutes to bake, plan accordingly.
- Chicago-style Hot Dogs, Mustard, onions, relish, tomato, pickle, sport peppers, celery salt on a poppy seed bun. Never ketchup. Try Portillo's.
- Italian Beef, Thinly sliced beef on Italian bread, dipped in jus. Get it "wet" with hot giardiniera.
Things to Do

- Architecture River Cruise, Best way to see Chicago's legendary buildings

Dress in layers, lake effect weather can be unpredictable in September.
London, England, Week 5 vs. Jaguars (International Series)
Tottenham Hotspur Stadium Overview
The Eagles will play the Jaguars at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on October 11, 2026, the first purpose-built NFL stadium outside the United States.

Where to Stay
Most fans stay in central London neighborhoods like Covent Garden, Soho, Westminster, or Mayfair, then take the Underground to the game. Hotels along the Victoria Line work best, it connects directly to Seven Sisters or Tottenham Hale stations near the stadium. The 30-45 minute commute is comparable to driving to most NFL stadiums in the US. October is shoulder season, so hotel rates are reasonable.
Game Day Experience
British NFL fans are passionate but different, you'll see jerseys from every team since UK fans often follow players rather than specific teams. There's no traditional tailgating, but the NFL hosts massive fan festivals near the stadium with food vendors, player appearances, and interactive experiences. Pubs near Tottenham fill up hours before kickoff. If you're there Saturday, don't miss the Regent Street celebration with live music, games, and NFL cheerleaders.
Things to Do

Bring layers and a waterproof jacket, October in London means cool, rainy weather. The stadium enforces a clear bag policy similar to US NFL stadiums. Kickoff is typically 2:30pm UK time (9:30am Eastern).
Landover, Maryland, Week 8 Sunday Night Football vs. Commanders
Northwest Stadium Overview
The Commanders play at Northwest Stadium (formerly FedExField) in Landover, Maryland, just 10 miles from downtown Washington, D.C. The stadium holds approximately 67,000 fans, though capacity has been reduced in recent years. This is the closest road trip on the schedule, making it the easiest away game for Eagles fans to attend in force.
Where Eagles Fans Gather
This is a takeover game. Eagles fans routinely outnumber Commanders fans at this matchup. Xfinity Live! in Philadelphia runs buses to the game. For those driving down, the parking lots become a sea of green. There's no need for an official Eagles bar, just follow the E-A-G-L-E-S chants echoing through the parking lots.
Tailgating
Parking lots open 4 hours before kickoff. For a Sunday Night game, that means a full afternoon of tailgating. The Green Lot and Blue Lot are the largest general parking areas. Pro tip: Arrive early to claim your spot and set up, this game will be packed with Birds fans making the trip down I-95.

The Metro doesn't run directly to the stadium, so driving or rideshare is your best bet. Expect heavy traffic on game days, leave early. This is Sunday Night Football, so prepare for a late return home.
Arlington, Texas, Week 12 Thanksgiving Day vs. Cowboys
AT&T Stadium Overview
Jerry's World. The Death Star. Whatever you call it, AT&T Stadium is one of the most impressive structures in sports.

For this road game, expect a heavy Eagles presence at the stadium. San Francisco has historically been a popular destination for Birds fans.
Tailgating
Levi's Stadium parking lots open 4 hours before kickoff. The Blue Lot is the main tailgating area with a festive atmosphere. For a Sunday Night game in January, bundle up, Bay Area winters are chilly and damp. Many fans also pregame at nearby restaurants and bars in Santa Clara before walking to the stadium.

January weather is cool (40s-50s) with possible rain, bring layers. This is Sunday Night Football, so book your Monday flight home accordingly.
East Rutherford, New Jersey, Week 18 vs. Giants
MetLife Stadium Overview
The season finale takes us to MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, home of both the Giants and Jets. The stadium holds 82,500 fans and opened in 2010.

Eagles Takeover
This is another game where Eagles fans regularly outnumber the home crowd. The drive from Philadelphia is under 2 hours, making this essentially a home game. Expect seas of green throughout the stadium and thunderous E-A-G-L-E-S chants drowning out Giants fans.
Tailgating
