A co-worker of mine said that a friend of his took his kids to the Linc for the Eagles draft party on Saturday, but they kicked the fans out at 7:00 (before the Eagles even picked) because the stadium workers wanted to go home.

Can anyone confirm this!?!

I haven't heard this, but it would be truly hysterical if true.

It's true.


And it was more like 6:30 when they kicked us out.

What jersey did you wear to the Lincoln Financial Field raft party, EAG?

That is fantastic.

I hope you filled up on $5 hotdogs and $11 beers for a few hours at the stadium first!

Did they try to make any apologies or consolation for the fact that everyone showed up and didn't see a pick?

I don't think it actually happened. I've been looking around and haven't heard anything about this anywhere else.

It would be on the message board of the official site for the Eagles.

F-d, I wore a jersey with the number 1 on it, with a blank nameplate. I was going to fill the nameplate in with the name of whomever our Eagles picked in the first round.

Alas, the day was doubly disappointing.

This is as close to any information I could find on the situation. It appears the Draft Party was scheduled to end at 7:00 all along so I guess it's not so shocking that they chased people out.


Yo, click it

I guess you'll have to show up next year with a #11 custom jersey with 2 blank slots (or one that just says "R. Williams" on it).

Also, I hope you brought your own hoagie to the draft party.
