The date of the first event at the stadium is wrong. The first Springsteen concert was 8/8/03. Not sure when the first event (the soccer match) was, but it was earlier than that. (Comment added 1/19/06)

User:Joy has repeatedly removed my citation of http://www.nypost.com/sports/29271.htm for the fact that the stadium has four jail cells, in violation of Wikipedia:Cite sources. anthony (see warning) 19:11, 9 Oct 2004 (UTC)
In the list of memorable games, there is one from September 23, 2007. It lists several records having been set, including a 300-yard passer and 200-yard receiver. Each of these records includes a parenthetical conversion of the distance into metric units. Why is this included? The football field (and the statistics involving the amount of field covered in a single game or career) are not measured in meters. Just because you can do a conversion, doesn't always mean that you should. After all, Wikipedia doesn't call it the "10-gallon (37.85 l) hat".
This article contains the strange statement, "Lincoln Financial Field never had a jail." If this is a mistake, it should be removed. If this is not a mistake, it should be explained. I'm not much of a sports fan, so it just doesn't make sense to me that a large sports stadium should have (or not have) a jail on its premises. Some explanation is surely needed!

The highest Suite number is 177
This article read more like a (List of) events held at Lincoln Financial Field.
Regarding capacity, sources from 2018 list 69,596 [NFL] and 69,328 [the city]. For 2020, 69,796 (The Inquirer) or 69,176 (Erie Times-News). ESPN list 69,879. Neither 69,896. The earliest I could find something with a 71k capacity was after it's been in the article for two-three months, which is likely WP:CIRC. Respublik ( talk) 09:21, 1 August 2023 (UTC)
