The city of brotherly love prepares for one of its most emotional nights

A night where the city stands still

The announcement sent ripples of emotion through Philadelphia, a city known for its passion, loyalty, and deep love for its teams. As the Eagles prepare to open their home for the memorial, the moment feels bigger than football — it feels like the heart of the city itself is preparing to beat as one.

Players, coaches, and alumni are expected to attend. The team confirmed that Jalen Hurts, Jason Kelce, and DeVonta Smith will deliver personal tributes on stage, alongside several former Cowboys players who were close to Kneeland.
