Eagles Will Skip On‑Field Super Bowl LIX Banner Unveiling Before Cowboys Opener

The decision reflects the team's focus on the new campaign.

Overview

  • Head coach Nick Sirianni said Tuesday the team "won't be out" for the ceremony and remarked, "I didn't know it was banner night."
  • The Super Bowl LIX banner will be unveiled at Lincoln Financial Field before Thursday's 8:20 p.m. season opener against the Dallas Cowboys.
  • The Eagles issued a travel advisory urging early arrival because of uncertainties with SEPTA service and asked fans without tickets to avoid stadium parking lots.
  • Players have stressed moving on from last season, with Jalen Hurts saying he has shifted to the new year and Jordan Mailata saying the team is not "defending nothing," echoed by AJ Brown's comments about being locked in.
  • There is precedent for the approach, as the 2018 Eagles were not on the field for their Super Bowl LII banner unveiling, and a leaked glimpse of the new banner circulated online in late August.
