It was weird hearing Jeff Lurie speak Sunday about starting the process of researching what a new Eagles stadium might look like. The Eagles don’t need a new stadium. This will be the Eagles’ 24th year at the Linc, and unlike the 24th year of the Vet – which was 1994 – it’s in impeccable shape, beautifully maintained, offering all the amenities fans could ever need.

Lurie said, “We want to maximize fan amenities and attract the best possible environment for Philadelphia. ” They already have that. What could they possibly improve on?

Sight lines are great, concessions are fine, the concourses are nice and wide, there are elevators and escalators everywhere, parking isn’t ideal but it’s good enough. Are we really going to spend $10 billion just to add a few more suites for rich people and a retractable roof that we don’t need so everything costs more? If this is all about trying to lure a Super Bowl to Philly, who cares?
