NewsUSA pre-season tour: A guide to Lincoln Financial Field
Liverpool take on Arsenal at Lincoln Financial Field in a pre-season friendly this week, as part of their summer tour of the USA.
The match against the Gunners is set to kick off at 7.30pm local time on Wednesday (July 31) – here is our guide to the stadium in Philadelphia…
The home of NFL team the Philadelphia Eagles, Lincoln Financial Field opened in 2003 and has a seated capacity of just under 67,600.
As well as Eagles games, the multi-purpose arena also hosts concerts and entertainment events. The Rolling Stones played at the venue in June this year, while Wrestlemania 2024 took place there in April.
Lincoln Financial Field also has a history of hosting football matches, although this will be Liverpool’s first visit to the stadium.
Indeed, Alexis Mac Allister played there back in March when Argentina beat El Salvador 3-0 in a friendly, while the stadium’s inaugural ticketed event was a pre-season meeting between Barcelona and Manchester United in August 2003.
It has since hosted USA national team games and the 2015 Gold Cup final, and was the temporary home of MLS club Philadelphia Union in 2010. Last year, three matches in the Premier League Summer Series were played there.
Lincoln Financial Field is one of the 16 host stadiums for the 2026 men’s World Cup, and is scheduled to hold five group-stage fixtures and a last-16 tie.
