My cousin married into a Lions household and lives in Detroit now. Her husband, a lifelong Lions fan, wants to come to the Lions / Eagles game in Philadelphia this year.

I told him probably best he didn't wear a Lions jersey to the game, but he said he's worn Lions gear at all the NFC North Division opponents' stadiums and never had any problems but for verbal sparring. But the Lions / Eagles is a 8:20pm start. The later the start, the rowdier the crowd, generally. I still have time to talk him out of it...

My only experience with Iggles football at Lincoln Financial was a preseason game back in '22 (I think) in August - rode the BSL down and a guy was pounding not a six-pack, but a TWELVE PACK. So yes, a very drunk crowd - but I think you should sit with your cousin's husband, let him wear the Lions jersey, and protect him from the mob!
