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.

Chiefs Head Coach Announces Chris Jones to Start on the Bench for Standout Rookie After Costly Mistake vs. Jaguars
  Kansas City, MO —The Kansas City Chiefs’ coaching staff confirmed that Chris Jones will start on the bench in the next game to make way for rookie DT Omarr Norman-Lott, following a mistake viewed as pivotal in the loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. The move is framed as a message about discipline and micro-detail up front, while forcing the entire front seven to re-sync with Steve Spagnuolo’s system. Early-week film study highlighted two core issues. First, a neutral-zone/offsides penalty on a late 3rd-and-short that extended a Jaguars drive and set up the decisive points. Second, a Tex stunt (tackle–end exchange) that broke timing: the call asked Jones to spike the B-gap to occupy the guard while the end looped into the A-gap, but the footwork and shoulder angle didn’t marry, opening a clear cutback lane. To Spagnuolo, this was more than an individual error—it was a warning about snap discipline, gap integrity, pad level, and landmarks at contact, the very details that define Kansas City’s “January standard.” Under the adjusted plan, Omarr Norman-Lott takes the base/early-downs start to tighten interior gap discipline, stabilize run fits, and give the call sheet a cleaner platform. Chris Jones is not being shelved; he’ll be “lit up” in high-leverage situations—3rd-and-long, two-minute stretches, and the red zone—where his interior surge can collapse the pocket and force quarterbacks to drift into edge pursuit. In parallel, the staff will streamline the call sheet with the line group, standardize stunt tags (Tex/Pir), shrink the late-stem window pre-snap, and ramp game-speed reps in 9-on-7 and 11-on-11 so everyone is “seeing it the same, triggering the same.” Meeting the decision head-on, Jones kept it brief but competitive: “I can’t accept letting a kid take my spot, but I respect the coach’s decision. Let’s see what we’re saying after the game. I’ll practice and wait for my chance. When the ball is snapped, the QB will know who I am.” At team level, the Chiefs are banking on a well-timed hard brake to restore core principles: no free yards, no lost fits, more 3rd-and-longs forced, and the return of negative plays (TFLs, QB hits) that flip field position. In an AFC where margins often come down to half a step at the line, getting back to micro-details—from the first heel strike at the snap to the shoulder angle on contact—remains the fastest route for Kansas City to rebound from the stumble against Jacksonville.
