The Philadelphia Eagles have long been a model franchise in the NFL, and owner Jeffrey Lurie is committed to elevating the team's experience both on and off the field. Despite a dip in rankings from fourth in 2024 to 22nd in 2025, largely due to childcare issues on game days, the Eagles have made strides, climbing to 20th in 2026.
The NFL Players Association recently conducted a comprehensive survey across all 32 NFL teams to assess how organizations treat players and their families. This survey, a significant tool for free agents, evaluated teams on various aspects like travel, accommodations, and family treatment.
This year’s findings were unveiled amidst a backdrop of controversy, as the NFL filed a grievance against the NFLPA, challenging the annual report cards as a CBA violation.
Here’s how the Eagles fared:
- Treatment of Families: C+

Eagles players have pointed out some straightforward improvements that could enhance their experience. Key among these are providing childcare during games, prioritizing first-class seating for players, and adjusting lunch schedules to alleviate overcrowding in the cafeteria. Currently, players face long waits and struggle to find seating, as business staff occupy much of the space.
Another consistent complaint is the lack of space across facilities, with players feeling cramped in nearly every area. Addressing these issues could significantly improve the team’s environment and overall player satisfaction.
