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

Video that surfaced on social media shows an unidentified male fan in a green Eagles jacket directing obscene remarks at the Packers fan sitting in the stadium’s upper deck.
At one point, the man appears to call the woman “dumb.”

“What’s it like going to Philly just to try and root for your team…” one social media user captioned a video showing at least part of the uncomfortable exchange. “Unprovoked, unsolicited. Packers twitter, help me find this guy… it’s not okay.”

The video had more than 18 million views on X, formerly known as Twitter, by Monday afternoon.
Another man in the video tells the Eagles fan to stop calling the woman names, to which the attacker responds by saying, “She’s an ugly, stupid c—. You wanna do something? F— up and watch the game .”
The woman who was the source of the Eagles fan’s apparent angst remained largely calm throughout the video. She did, however, make a “boo-hoo” gesture at one point.
It’s unclear if the Eagles fan will face any punishment from the team.
As for the game itself, quarterback Jalen Hurts returned to action from a two-game absence following a concussion diagnosis. The two-time Pro Bowler threw a pair of touchdowns to help lift Philadelphia to 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 in the wild-card round will travel to Philly this weekend for a divisional round matchup with the Eagles.
