Weekend Highlights: Eagles Practice, Concerts, and Comedy in Philadelphia
The Sports Complex in Philadelphia is set to buzz with activity this weekend, drawing large crowds and creating heavy traffic as fans gather for a variety of events.
On Sunday, the Eagles will host their sold-out public practice, a highly anticipated event for fans eager to see the reigning Super Bowl champions in action. This comes after a preseason opener against the Bengals, which provided a glimpse of the team since February. The practice benefits the Eagles Autism Foundation, and while tickets are sold out, those attending should prepare for an exciting experience.
Gates open at 4 p.m., with free parking available until 6 p.m. After that, parking fees will rise to $40. Given another major event occurring simultaneously at the Sports Complex, attendees are encouraged to arrive early or utilize public transportation.
Fans can also look forward to autographs from Eagles alumni and select players post-practice. Additionally, the Eagles Autism Foundation Yard Sale will feature merchandise including jerseys and mini helmets, some signed by former players.
Meanwhile, across the street at Citizens Bank Park, Chris Brown will take the stage as part of his Breezy Bowl XX World Tour. Scheduled for 7 p.m., this concert marks the second stop on his tour, which began in Detroit earlier this month. Brown will perform tracks from his Grammy-winning album "11:11," alongside special guests Bryson Tiller and Summer Walker. With both events overlapping, fans have expressed their scheduling frustrations on social media.
Tickets for Brown's concert start at $226. In a related note, the Jonas Brothers will kick off their JONAS20: Greetings From Your Hometown tour on Sunday at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, celebrating their 20th anniversary. They will perform at Camden's Freedom Mortgage Pavilion on August 14.
Nate Bargatze brings his clean comedy to South Philly on Friday as part of his 2025 Big Dumb Eyes World Tour. Due to high demand, an additional show has been added at the Wells Fargo Center. Bargatze's performance begins at 7 p.m., with doors opening at 6 p.m. Known for his relatable humor and deadpan delivery, he promises laughs suitable for all ages.
Tickets for Bargatze's show start at $61. On Saturday, Katy Perry and Rebecca Black will perform at the Wells Fargo Center for The Lifetimes Tour. This concert is expected to be a highlight for pop music fans, with tickets ranging from $54 to over $309.
