Presented by Ticketmaster, the Eagles' Official Ticketing Partner, Eagles Fantennial will bring together fans to showcase their love of football through a number of exciting promotions, including a celebratory weekend of football, fun, and family at Cherry Street Pier on Saturday, Sept. 21.
"The Fantennial Weekend is an opportunity for us to celebrate and thank our fans for their passion and support," said Don Smolenski, Philadelphia Eagles President. "The Eagles have always had a special connection with the fans of the Delaware Valley. They are our source of inspiration every year, and in this 100th NFL season, it is a great opportunity to celebrate a century of football with them and to look ahead toward the next 100 years."
The Eagles Fantennial Weekend festivities will kick off during Week 3 of the NFL season when the Eagles host the Detroit Lions – one of the league's original franchises – on Sunday, Sept. 22 at Lincoln Financial Field.
