Source: Eagles held focus group in May seeking feedback on ‘the new stadium’ in 2032 - PhillyVoice
“I was quite attentive,” the attendee said of the May focus group. “I was sitting there at the front where the guy was doing his presentation. Emphatically, he said, ‘2032, our lease runs out. Our intent is to build a new stadium.’ There wasn’t a God dang word about renovation. We spent zero time discussing what they could do better at the Linc. Zero. There was not a single question about it.” [...] “The simple fact that they did a separate renovation survey absolutely goes against what they said in the focus groups,” the attendee said. “In the focus groups, the messaging was, ‘2032, we’re doing this.’ They didn’t ask a single question about the Linc. They asked stuff like, ‘Do you do tailgating at the current stadium?’ But that was it. They didn’t ask anything about how to fix up the Linc or make it better.” The attendee got into some details about tailgating at “the new stadium,” and what type of stadium it would be (outdoor, dome, etc.), and the cost of personal seat licenses.

I know he speaks to numerous kids in the area. You could see that he’s genuinely investing in the area.

It’s like bullets could bounce off that guy.” A few years ago, Hurts may not have allowed people to enter his personal sphere like that. Maybe it was seeing a different side of himself that he is allowing the public to see, after seeing his reflection in the Super Bowl LIX trophy through a puff of cigar smoke. Maybe it’s because he is settling into who he is, as a leader, on and off the field, that a new approachable Hurts is surfacing.

‘It’s crazy:’ Understanding just how young the Eagles’ 2025 defense will be - NBCSP
The Eagles had the youngest defense in the NFL last year and finished No. 1 in the NFL in yards allowed and passing yards and won the Super Bowl. So they did the only thing that made sense. They got younger. Depending on the outcome of a couple position battles, the Eagles could have 11 starters 28 or younger, 10 who are...
