		But what happened Monday night defines the NFL regular season that’s about to end, much the way baseball’s regular season was defined in large part by Barry Bonds hitting those late-summer, game-winning home runs after the death of his father and hero, Bobby Bonds.

	Philadelphia Eagles biography .ms
		Bert Bell and Lud Wray, co-owners of the Frankford Yellow Jackets, an inactive NFL franchise since midway through the 1931 season, were granted permission to reactivate the club on July 9, 1933, under a new name, the Philadelphia Eagles.
		Yet interestingly this factor does not seem to have provided the team with any additional home-field advantage: From 2000 through 2003, all inclusive, the Eagles actually had a better record in regular-season away games than in home games, going 25-7 on the road (best in the NFL over that period) but only 21-11 at home.
		Their home stadium is Lincoln Financial Field (2003-), with previous home venues having been Veterans Stadium (1971-2002), Franklin Field (1958-1970), Connie Mack Stadium (1940-1957), Municipal (later renamed John F. Kennedy Stadium) (1936-1939), and Baker Bowl (1933-1935).
