Eagles Owner Jeffrey Lurie Announces Ticket Price Reductions for Disabled Fans and Families Facing Hardship

PHILADELPHIA, Pa. –August 27, 2025
 In a heartfelt and powerful announcement, Philadelphia Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie has unveiled a groundbreaking initiative aimed at ensuring no fan is left behind. The team will now offer discounted tickets specifically for disabled fans and families facing financial hardship, reaffirming the organization’s commitment to inclusivity, fairness, and community support for all members of the Eagles nation.

With the rising costs of attending live sporting events, many fans have struggled to keep up with ticket prices, parking, and concessions. The Eagles are pushing back against those barriers with a bold move to make Lincoln Financial Field more accessible, allowing fans from all walks of life to experience the unmatched energy of Fly Eagles Fly.

“FOOTBALL IN PHILADELPHIA IS FOR EVERYONE,” LURIE DECLARED. “NO FAN SHOULD EVER FEEL LEFT OUT. WE ARE PROUD TO OFFER DISCOUNTED TICKETS FOR DISABLED FANS AND FAMILIES IN NEED, BECAUSE THE EAGLES AREN’T JUST A TEAM — WE ARE A FAMILY. AND WHEN EVERYONE IS INCLUDED, PHILLY IS STRONGER.”

Program Details

The initiative provides a 25% discount on single-game tickets for disabled individuals and veterans, including up to two companion tickets at the same rate. Eligible fans can apply directly through the Eagles’ official website, with a verification process in place. The discount applies to all home games, including marquee divisional matchups against the Dallas Cowboys and New York Giants, though seating is limited to designated areas to ensure fairness.

Community Response

Local veteran organizations and disability advocacy groups quickly applauded the decision. “For many of our members, attending an Eagles game has always felt out of reach,” said Michael Carter, director of the Philadelphia Veterans Network. “Now more of our veterans can live the Fly Eagles Fly spirit in person.”

Similarly, AccessPhilly, a local disability rights group, praised the move, calling it “a step toward making Lincoln Financial Field a true home for every fan.”

Beyond Ticket Discounts

The Eagles also announced additional accessibility upgrades at the stadium, including expanded wheelchair-accessible seating, sensory-friendly zones for neurodiverse fans, and enhanced mobility assistance services. These improvements complement the ticket program, reinforcing the team’s commitment to creating an inclusive, welcoming game-day environment.

Lurie’s Broader Vision

For over three decades, Jeffrey Lurie has emphasized the Eagles’ role as a bridge to the Philadelphia community. “Philly is about toughness, but it’s also about togetherness,” he said. “We want every fan — from veterans who served our country to individuals who’ve overcome their own battles — to feel proud wearing midnight green and to feel at home inside the Linc.”

As the Eagles prepare for another high-stakes NFL season, this bold step ensures that Lincoln Financial Field remains more than just a stadium. It is a place where all of Philadelphia can come together to celebrate football, community, and the unbreakable spirit of Eagles Nation.

Raiders Reunite with a Former Starter to Fortify the Offensive Line
Las Vegas, NV   The Las Vegas Raiders have brought back a familiar face in a move that screams both urgency and savvy: versatile offensive lineman Jermaine Eluemunor is returning to the Silver & Black on a one-year deal (terms not disclosed), reuniting with the franchise where he logged some of the best football of his career and immediately fortifying a position group that has been stretched thin. Eluemunor, 31, started for the Raiders from 2021–2023, showing rare position flexibility across right tackle and guard while anchoring pass protection against premier edge rushers. His technique, anchor, and ability to handle long-arm power made him a steadying force during multiple playoff pushes. After departing Vegas, Eluemunor spent time elsewhere refining his craft, but a confluence of roster needs and scheme familiarity has set the stage for a timely homecoming. For the Raiders—fighting to keep pace in a rugged AFC—this is about stability and fit. Injuries and week-to-week availability on the right side of the line have forced constant shuffling; protection packages have leaned heavily on chips and condensed splits to survive obvious passing downs. Eluemunor’s return allows the staff to plug him at RT or slide him inside at RG, restoring balance to protections and widening the run-game menu (duo, inside zone, and the toss/ pin-pull that Vegas fans love when the edge is sealed). “Jermaine knows who we are and how we want to play,” a team source said. “He brings ballast. Assignment sound, physical, and smart—he raises the floor for the entire unit.” Beyond the X’s and O’s, there’s an unmistakable emotional charge to this reunion. Eluemunor was a locker-room favorite in his previous stint—professional, detail-driven, and accountable. The belief internally is that his presence stabilizes communication on the right side (IDs, slides, and pass-off rules vs. games and simulated pressures), which in turn unlocks more vertical concepts and keeps the quarterback cleaner late in games. On social media, Raider Nation lit up the timeline with a simple refrain: “Welcome back, Jem.” Many fans called the deal the exact kind of “rival-poach, ready-to-play” move a contender makes in October: low friction, high impact, zero learning curve. What it means on the field (immediately): Pass pro: Fewer emergency chips, more five-out releases—OC can re-open deeper intermediate shots without living in max-protect. Run game: Better edge control on toss/duo; more confidence running to the right on money downs. Depth & versatility: One injury doesn’t force a cascade of position changes; Eluemunor can cover two spots with starting-level competency. The timetable? Swift. Because Eluemunor already speaks the language—terminology, splits, cadence rules—he could suit up as early as this weekend if the medicals/check-ins continue to trend positive. The message is clear: the Raiders aren’t waiting around for the line to gel—they’re engineering it. If Jermaine Eluemunor plays to his Raider résumé, this reunion could be the precise mid-season jolt that steadies the offense and keeps the Silver & Black firmly in the postseason race. Raider Nation, the question writes itself: Plug-and-play stopgap—or the catalyst that reclaims the right side
