The Eagles are putting in extra practice hours as their season extends into the playoffs.
They’re also putting a little extra money into the city coffers.
Just like others who work or live in Philadelphia, Eagles players pay the city’s wage tax. And, as has long been the case for professional athletes, the city and state also collect taxes from players on visiting teams for their time spent working here.
So, with the Eagles’ home-field advantage in the playoffs, more than just the team’s season is on the line. A boost in the city’s tax revenue is, too.
