Lincoln Financial Field
One Lincoln Financial Field Way, Philadelphia, PA 19148, USA
Steel superstructure shaped like an eagle's wings and talons, wrapped in red brick over a sixty-eight-thousand-seat bowl.
This guide to Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia traces the eagle-shaped steel superstructure engineered by Ove Arup and Partners, its trusses curving like feathers into talon-shaped columns nearly two hundred fifty feet above the field. It covers the stadium's fast build, breaking ground in May 2001 and opening barely two years later with a soccer match between Manchester United and Barcelona. Workers raised roughly one million seven hundred thousand square feet of concrete and steel, wrapped in red brick meant to echo Philadelphia's rowhouse streets.
