		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.
		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).
		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.
