This is not a normal Saturday morning at Lincoln Financial Field in early April. There are dozens of Eagles fans in line in the Red Zone Suites on the north end of the stadium, all decked out in Midnight Green. Patience. Smiles. Happiness. The fans waited 52 years for an Eagles Super Bowl, so standing for 15 minutes or so before posing with the Vince Lombardi Trophy is nothing but a treat.
“This is something that is really amazing. It was great,” said Paul McLaughlin, who had his son, two grandsons, and a great-grandson take part in the Eagles’ ambitious eight-week (or longer, if need be) plan to have every Season Ticket Member have an opportunity meet Vince, to pose with Vince, to adore Vince, and to take enough pictures to fill up any Fan Cave.
