Eagles-Niners start time moved
options
 

Kickoff for the Eagles-Niners game has been pushed back to 4:15 because of the weather, the Eagles announced today.

In a statement, the Eagle said "the change was made to accommodate fans and allow more time for city and stadium personnel to clear streets and walkways in and around the stadium."

Parking lots will open at noon. Stadium gates will open at 3 p.m.

Fans are encouraged to use public transportation.

The game still will be televised by Fox.

    Jack Nicholson from "A Few Good Men"? I have no objection to giving us a couple of hours to dig our cars out. This happened recently, I think, for a playoff game against Minnesota. No worries.

    Stoked, as I have family obligations in the AM and was going to have to watch on the DVR and try to avoid the radio/text updates!

    (3) Free Tickets for Eagles/Niners Eagles Nation.. I live in Sussex County Delaware (Lewes area) and can't go to game tomorrow due to the weather. I have 3 season tickets and don't want them to go to waste, section 221, row 17. If you are willing to pick them up, they are yours free. My email address is mendez862@verizon.net. I'm checking it about every 10 mins or so. Thanks, Tony in Lewes.

Les BowenLes Bowen has covered the Eagles for the Daily News since 2002. Before that, he spent nearly 13 years covering the Flyers. It took Les only a few seasons after the switch to figure out that there was no penalty box at the Linc, and that the time really wasn't his, despite what Andy Reid kept saying. Les came to Philadelphia and the Daily News from Charlotte in 1983. In the intervening years, he has pretty much lost track of NASCAR, and his accent. He, his wife Barbara, and their two sons live in Haddon Township, New Jersey. E-mail Les at bowenl@phillynews.com and follow him on Twitter.

Paul DomowitchPaul Domowitch has been with the Daily News since 1982. He has spent most of his nearly 3 decades with the paper covering the Eagles and pro football. For the last 10 years, he’s been a selector for the Pro Football Hall of Fame. A native of Wilkes-Barre and a graduate of Wilkes University, Domo started his career in Texas, working first for the Midland Reporter-Telegram (1976-78), and then for the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, where he covered some god-awful Texas Ranger baseball teams. His first beat at the Daily News actually was boxing, which he covered just long enough to lose 2 sports coats to blood spatter before moving on to football. Domo and his wife Shelley, a University of Oklahoma grad who still hasn’t gotten over that Fiesta Bowl loss to Boise State 5 years ago, have 2 terrific daughters -- Allison, 28, who is an attorney in South Jersey, and Amy, 25, who works in administration for a professional baseball team.
