The summer is almost over — and that means Eagles season is almost here. Not only that, but across the street the Phillies are preparing for the stretch run and what they hope will be another Red October. And the Sixers and Flyers aren’t as far behind as you think.

With all three venues being at least 20 years old, some fans have been to so many games over the years they’ve developed their own tips and tricks — or hacks — for beating traffic; getting into the games; moving around the stadium; finding the best vantage points, the tastiest food spots, and the shortest bathroom lines; and much, much more.
