The now famous underdog masks that several Philadelphia Eagles players wore after their win against the Atlanta Falcons on Saturday are officially allowed at the Lincoln Financial Field.

The Linc took to Twitter to announce the policy, which sent the entire city of Philadelphia into a frenzy. “Doggone it, you better believe dog masks will be allowed at @LFFStadium this weekend. Just make sure to take them off when you go through security,” the Eagles’ official Twitter account announced earlier this week.

The tweet got hundreds of replies and close to 3,000 retweets. And three hours later, Amazon completely sold out of its underdog mask.

Amazon had already restocked the dog masks once before so either a ton of people are getting prepared for Halloween early or the Linc is about to be a sea of green German Shepherds.

Lincoln Financial seats about 70,000 people. I’m not sure what the metrics are on Amazon’s restocking numbers but if it’s anything close to a few thousand, Philly on Sunday is going to be absolutely electric.

I know some publication called The New York Times recently announced that New Orleans is going to be the travel destination of 2018, but I’m not buying it. Does New Orleans have an NFL team in the NFC championship this weekend? They absolutely do not. I know it’s still early in 2018, but Philly’s shaping up to be the best destination of the year, possibly even the millennium.
