Philadelphia: The City of Brotherly Love

🏟️ Venue: Lincoln Financial Field

Location: South Philadelphia Sports Complex

Capacity: 69,796

Pro Tip: The "Linc" is incredibly accessible. Take the Broad Street Line (subway) south to the last stop (NRG Station). It drops you right at the complex.

🏨 Where to Stay

• Center City: The downtown core. Walkable to historic sites, restaurants, and the subway to the game. Best overall experience.
• Old City: Charming cobblestone streets, near the Liberty Bell. A bit quieter but very scenic.
• South Philly / Navy Yard: Closer to the stadium, but fewer hotel options. Good if you want a local neighborhood vibe.

🥩 Where to Eat

• Cheesesteak: The eternal debate. Pat's vs. Geno's is the tourist trap (fun for photos). Locals often prefer Dalessandro's or John's Roast Pork.
• Reading Terminal Market: A must-visit indoor food hall. Try the roast pork sandwich at DiNic's.
• Pretzels: Philly soft pretzels are a staple. Get them fresh from a street cart or Philly Pretzel Factory.

🎢 Things to Do

• Independence Hall & Liberty Bell: See where the US Declaration of Independence was signed.
• Rocky Steps: Run up the steps of the Philadelphia Museum of Art and strike a pose like Rocky Balboa.
• Eastern State Penitentiary: A historic and spooky former prison (Al Capone was held here) turned into a museum.

💎 Hidden Gem

Magic Gardens: An immersive mixed-media art environment on South Street covered entirely in mosaics made from tiles, bottles, and mirrors. A visual masterpiece.
