Tell me about it. You need to petition your alderman to help get those costs reduced. Farging ridiculous & preposterous!

In his defense, I think he said he wouldn't spend 4-5x face value....

If you include the expense of actually flying to Philly, getting a hotel for the night and all the ancillary expenses associated with going to the game, I'm spending more than five times face value to see the game.

More like ten times face value and I'm not complaining.

It's the farging Eagles, guys.  It's worth it.

Free for me   

this is a "business trip" for me, and one of my sales people is providing me half of her season's tickets.

So, I'll be in downtown Philly for the first time in about 15 years this week for MNF.  I'm staying at 16th and Chestnut while in Philly.

My question -- where is the best place to go buy my Eagles paraphenalia (sweatshirt, jersey, hat, etc, etc)?  Should I just buy them at the Linc, or are there better places?  Any street sales that go on for the t-shirts and stuff (you know -- cheap and barely legal)?

[MURP]

There is always stuff to buy at the tailgates.   During the Packers tailgate I picked up a $5 tshirt that said "The Eagles are playing like shtein, pass me another beer"   and  $5 Dawkins beanie hat.  I have so many $5  tshirts from over the years im gonna have to start giving em to the poor. 

As far as downtown Philly goes, you can check out Mitchell and Ness website which is at 13th and Chestnut.  That stuff aint cheap though, more of the authentic jersey type stuff.   Unless I've missed something lately, Center City has a couple small sporty collectible types here and there but nothing special.   Your best bet is to just to buy stuff at the Linc since they will have everything you could want and then see if you can find the fun tailgate shirts and junk for shteins and giggles.

* and dont pay $10 for the tailgate gear unless you just have to have it right then.  They almost always try to get you to spend $10.  Offer $5 and if they say no, wait until later.  They usually come back around with the leftovers and will take $5 for it.

I bought a kickass hat for a fin at the Raiders game.
