The Eagles are practicing today at Franklin Field, where they played home football games from 1958-74.

While admission is by ticket only, with a little luck you might be able to score some of the free passes from people who don't want to battle the crowd. Luck is the operative word.

LeSean McCoy reaches out to fans.
