Eagles host public practice ahead of NFL season at Lincoln Financial Field

PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- Lincoln Financial Field in South Philadelphia was once again packed with Eagles fans on Sunday night.

The Birds hosted their training camp public practice, which drew in large crowds.

Fans lined up early, anxious to get inside the stadium and enjoy an NFL prelude.

"I'm ready, I'm excited especially for the draft picks. Kelly green is back, it's going to be a good year. Hopefully, we get back to the Super Bowl and win it this year," said Johnny Yenchak from Culpeper, Virginia.

Some traveled for hours just to get a sneak peek of the Birds.

"I'm super excited about the season starting. We came from Connecticut to Philadelphia," said Michelle Muller from Connecticut. "We're huge fans, we came here for the training camp."

The practice began at 7 p.m. and tickets were only $10.

Proceeds from the ticket sales went to the Eagles Autism Foundation.

"It's a nice atmosphere, everybody is out, and it feels good," said Jylil from West Philadelphia. "Excited for some football."

Many fans donned their Kelly green in honor of the throwback jerseys.

"I like this over the midnight green," said one fan.

Fans also told 6abc they had certain players they were watching and rooting for. From Jalen Hurts to Devonte Smith, the whole team got lots of love from the fans.

The Eagles' first preseason game is on Saturday in Baltimore against the Ravens.
