Jevon is just learning this, I've known it for more then 25 years.

 

"I've never seen anything like this," said Eagles defensive end Jevon Kearse. "Not only today, but every day at camp. Eagles fans are incredible."

 

Over the past several seasons, the Eagles have constructed one of the NFL's elite franchises and as a result have enhanced their stature as perhaps the most popular franchise in all of sports.

 

Friday's morning practice was clearly evidence of that as over 25,000 people successfully managed to make the trek to Lehigh. That number was easily the largest attendance in Eagles training camp history and is believed to be the largest number of people to watch a single-team training camp practice in a non-stadium venue in league history.

 

Thousands more were not able to reach the practice field as traffic built up all around the surrounding area.

 

"It was like the Field of Dreams," quipped Eagles head coach Andy Reid, who needed a police escort to navigate through traffic as he returned to the dormitory after practice.

 

Eagles president Joe Banner added, "This is an amazing tribute to the passion of the fans of this team, and why we are so committed to bringing them the championship they deserve."
