Eagles fans tailgate early ahead of Black Friday game against the Bears

Philadelphia Eagles fans were at the Linc bright and early ahead of the Bears Black Friday game.

Tailgating is a lifestyle for Jeremy White and Eric Wayne, who lined up at midnight and had the smoker fired up by 2 a.m. ahead of Friday's game.

"It's a family atmosphere down here. We've got friends that we've known for a decade now," Wayne said.

Keep in mind, the lots open seven hours before the game, so for this Black Friday game, which was at 8 a.m.

"I just got here last night at 2 a.m. I took the train in," said Mike McGlynn, who traveled from Boston.

Fans are talking about the seriousness of grabbing the perfect parking spot.

"Parking cones gotta save our spots," said Rob Weiss, from Ambler, who said he snags the same spot every week.

Once the spot has been obtained, it's all positive vibes, green beards, and dancing for the Folks family.

"Come down here for a win. Like everybody else, that Dallas game hurt. I mean, it hurt. I had to stay in the house for two days," said Donald Folks, from Coatesville.

But fans, like Folks, are ready to fly high again as Eagles fans bring back the energy early.
