20,000 seats available for Sunday's game

I just read in the Minneapolis Star Tribune that there are 20,000+ seats for sale due to season ticket holders who did not buy playoff tickets.  Wouldn't a sea of green amongst the purple be a fine sight?

I was at the Vikings and Giants game last weekend. Didn't see a whole lot to be scared of, as long as the Eagles can pressure T Jackson.  Their receivers didn't show me much so we should be able to single-cover them with our good  D backfield and stuff the run.  Easier said than done, maybe, but I feel pretty good about our chances.

If it wasnt a 16 hour drive for me, i'd be going!

Tickets are ridiculously cheap for that game. i’ve seen up to 4 tickets go on ebay for less than $100 total.

Small world

Im actually up in Northern Maryland but I went to school in Wilmington NC. I just got the awesome news that due to a family members crazy amount of frequent flyers miles I will be flying up and back free of charge. Sorry I cant help more.

i should price flights...

but then on the other hand…. i know if i do that, i’m gonna go.

It would be my third game this season… which would stretch the football budget…

However, let me just throw this in there… my best friend just recently moved to Charlotte… if we get that far, i’m going down and scalping

If it makes anyone feel any better I was at the Arenabowl in New Orleans and the Soul won and I was at Game 4 of the World Series easily the best game the Phils played winning 10-2 and Joe Freakin Blanton hit a homerun literally 10 feet from where I was sitting.

JFC man… how’d you get tix to the super bowl

But T.O. and his sideline histrionics wear on a quarterback. He's like the hot stripper you tried to clean up and convert into a real girlfriend. It's a lot of fun until the moment she has her second drink while out to eat with your parents. You unravel quicker than she does.

a friend of a friend sort of thing

My girlfriends parents live in Clearwater she went to USF in Tampa one of her friends there is a gold digger and it worked out for me. As long as nothing happens and it falls through I’m there.

For your sake as much as everyone elses...

wouldnt it be awesome if your SB tickets turned into a chance to see the birds bring it home…

Spare the yelling about looking ahead too far, i’m just saying its a nice thought

nice pun on the ‘vikings’

by Manoovi on Dec 30, 2008 2:31 PM EST up reply actions  

I was

checking out the Viks blog and its really quiet. Im a little biased here but I would have to say we are a hell of a lot more passionate about our Eagles…

by EaglesPhan on Dec 30, 2008 1:51 PM EST reply actions  

They are

talking a little bit of sh-t over at the Viks blog now. I’m trying to get them going just a little. Pretty sad when it takes the opponets fans to get you interested in your own team.

14,000 more tickets to sell

According to Profootballtalk there were 6,000 tickets sold on Monday.

The Good news:

There are still 14,000 tickets left for the game.

The Metrodome is going to be greened out.
