Philadelphia Eagles hint at potential Lincoln Financial Field changes after NFL survey leaks image

New stadiums are becoming more of a novelty around the NFL, and while the Philadelphia Eagles have one of the top environments in professional sports even the Super Bowl champions could be looking to upgrade their home venue.

Lincoln Financial Field has been home to the Eagles since 2003 when the team completed its move from Veterans Stadium, but after winning the franchise's second Lombardi Trophy this past season owner Jeffrey Lurie apparently wants to give fans more in the future.

Recently, the organization sent out a survey to NFL fans discussing upgrades they might want to see at The Linc, as well as the possibility of a "brand new stadium" that could rival others like the Dallas Cowboys' AT&T Stadium and SoFi Stadium, where the Los Angeles Chargers and Los Angeles Rams play their games.

 Of the options that fans received in the survey, the most interesting was whether or not Eagles supporters would entertain the idea of the team playing under a dome or canopy - similar to what the Chargers and Rams have.

Lurie and the Eagles always try to stay on top of keeping their players happy, which has resulted in several major contract extensions in recent months, however, it's always important to keep the fans happy as well.

During the most recent NFL Players Association report card that became public, Philadelphia had one of the highest average grades across all categories, including owner, training facility, food/cafeteria and more.
