Lincoln Financial Field has hosted Philadelphia Eagles home games for more than two decades.
During this time, the football stadium located in the South Philadelphia Sports Complex has developed a reputation as one of the most difficult places in the NFL for opposing teams to visit. Eagles fans regularly flock to what locals affectionately call “the Linc” and create a noisy environment.
But during Sunday’s game against the Green Bay Packers, an Eagles fan was seen relentlessly berating a woman who was wearing Packers gear.

A video that surfaced on social media shows an unidentified male fan dressed in a green Eagles jacket directing vile remarks toward the Packers fan sitting on the stadium’s upper deck.
At one point, the man appears to call the woman “stupid.”

“How does it feel to go to Philly just to try to support your team…” one social media user captioned a video showing at least part of the unsavory exchange. “Unprovoked, unwarranted. The Packers are tweeting, help me and find this guy…this is not right.”

The video garnered more than 18 million views on X, formerly known as Twitter, as of Monday afternoon.
Another man in the video tells the Eagles fan to stop insulting the woman, to which the attacker responds by saying, “She’s an ugly, stupid motherfucker.” Are you going to do anything? “.
The woman who was the cause of the Eagles fan’s apparent angst remained largely calm throughout the video. However, she made a “boo-hoo” gesture at one point.
It’s unclear if the Eagles fan will be punished by the team.
As for the game itself, quarterback Jalen Hurts returned to action after a two-game absence following a concussion diagnosis. The two-time Pro Bowler threw two touchdowns to help Philadelphia earn a 22-10 victory over Green Bay.

The Eagles await the results of Monday night’s game between the Minnesota Vikings and the Los Angeles Rams. The game was moved to Glendale, Arizona due to the ongoing wildfires in the Los Angeles area. The winner of the final game of the wild-card round will travel to Philadelphia this weekend for a divisional matchup with the Eagles.
