That is exactly what the Philadelphia Eagles experienced as they routed the Denver Broncos 51-23 Sunday.
"Apologies, we actually ran out of fireworks at @LFFStadium. #FlyEaglesFly," the team account tweeted.

Most Eagles fans, like City Representative Sheila Hess, had no problem accepting the team's apology.
"That's OK. We hope you run out of fireworks at every game!" Hess tweeted.

The 8-1 Eagles now go into a bye week.
Their next home game is in three weeks - plenty of time for the Linc to restock the fireworks.
Great Eagles win today. Three weeks until we get the Linc jumping again! #EaglesSalute #FlyEaglesFly pic.twitter.com/dtV09VgYIK
