After rolling through Maryland over the weekend, the FootballPower.tv tour bus made its way to the Linc in Philly to wach the Philadelphia Eagles take on the Washington Redskins on Monday Night Football.

Once we parked our rig in K lot in front of the stadium, the crew immediately set out to document some of the tailgate action going on in the parking lots -- which had been happening since 1 pm that afternoon. And as you probably know, Eagles fans are notorious for their tailgating, traditions and vocal tendencies. 

On a chilly September afternoon, more than 65,000 fans took to the parking lots for a grand pre-game celebration in eager anticipation of what should be a promising season. As expected, fans were draped in full Eagles attire and many brought along their uniquely decorated RV's -- most decked out in midnight green. And there were converted school buses, vans, trailers, cars and more for as far as the eye could see. What an experience!

And the food....simply irresistible. The smell of chicken wings, lasagna, pizza, grilled chicken and cheesesteaks filled the air on this night as many established mini food buffets at their respective tailgating spots. 

Meanwhile, Eagles cheers rang out through the evening -- becoming more and more frequent as gametime approached.

It's safe to say the fans in Philly take their football seriously.

Unfortunately for the Birds, the situation with the team appears even more dire after they succombed to the Redskins and dropped to 0-2 on the year.

Nevertheless, we can't wait for the next time that the FootballPower bus pulls up to the Linc!

Until next time....

P.S. -- Meanwhile, Suni always wondered what it would be like to be a program

seller at a football game. As you can see from the photo above, his

wish was granted.
