Traffic chaos? What to know if you're going to Eagles-Cowboys game

Well, the road to a Super Bowl repeat begins in just under two days. The Eagles kick off the season at home against their bitter rivals, the Cowboys. And excitement is growing around the city as the skyline is lit green and fans are ready for another Super Bowl championship. But the ride to get to the game Thursday may be a little bumpy for fans because of the ongoing SEPTA service cuts. Action News reporter Caroline Gagan live in South Philadelphia with the latest on a bird's game plan for fans on Thursday. Caroline, >> well Rick, if you're headed down to the game on Thursday night, you have one of the hottest tickets in the NFL. According to Vivid Seats, the average ticket price for this Eagles Cowboys game is more than $900. Right now, that is the highest ticket for week one and the highest ticket for the entire NFL season. And that just goes to show you how much this game and how much this rivalry mean to the fans. >> It is safe to say Eagles fans are fired up for Thursday night. >> They are ready for some football in South Philadelphia to see the reigning Super Bowl champs take on their division rival. >> So pumped. She doesn't know how good she has it. >> Expect another Super Bowl win though. In their Kelly and Midnight Green, some Birds fans gathered in Ka Haken this afternoon for the final stop of the Super Bowl 59 bus tour. >> I'm really excited. It's a cool sight to see. >> As DJ Diamond Cuts played, Swoop interacted with the crowd. Eagles legend Brandon Graham not only signed merch for the fans, he also took some pictures with them. >> It felt like a like another mini parade and uh just still enjoying the the Super Bowl highs. >> And now the birds are looking ahead to Thursday night's game against Dallas. If you don't have a ticket, the team is asking you don't come down to the sports complex. For those who do, they're asking you to carpool as SEPTA is operating with limited service. >> We normally take the subway in and then take it home, but we're meeting a bunch of friends and we're all going down to get driving down together. >> A temporary court order has paused further SEPTA service cuts, but it's unclear if that means the Sports Express service will run on Thursday night. The attorney who filed a lawsuit against SEPTA last week wrote a letter to the AY's attorneys today asking for clarity. He said, quote, "Eliminating the Sports Express trains and reducing the number of train cars will create chaos." SEPTA says its attorneys are currently reviewing the request to restore Sports Express service for Thursday night. >> Go. >> Meanwhile, Eagles fans, some young, others four-legged, are getting ready for the game. Are the Eagles going to win this game against the Cowboys? I really hope so. >> We all really hope so. So, parking lots here down in South Philadelphia, they are opening at 1:30 on Thursday afternoon, which is a lot earlier than usual. And the team is asking people if you're going to come down here and tailgate, make sure you do it either in front of your car or behind your car. Just don't block a spot because they want to make sure all of the parking spots are available for fans. They also are asking all of the fans who have a ticket and are headed inside the game on Thursday night be inside by 7:45. Kickoff is set for 8:20. Go Birds. We are live tonight outside of the link in South Philadelphia. I'm Caroline Gogan, Channel 6 Action News.
