Eagles won't be rushing on their impending decision that'll affect their future

The noise is starting to intensify with the Philadelphia Eagles and their impending decision on where they could play in the future.

Their agreement with Lincoln Financial Field is ending in 2032, which has led to some chatter about whether the Eagles will continue to play there or build a new stadium. Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie addressed the exploratory process the team is undertaking for the stadium.

"It's a long process," Lurie said via The Athletic's Zach Berman. "When we researched Lincoln Financial Field, it probably took us... 2-3 years of exploratory research. Now, our exploratory research is very much on looking at stadiums around the world and domestically. Is there anything we can learn from Nashville and Buffalo? Is there anything we can learn from the renovations in Madrid and Barcelona? It's really important. We want to maximize fan amenities and attract the best possible environment for Philadelphia. And to do that, you've really got to do the exploratory research. Don't rush into it. This is a big decision. Where's the team going to be?"

Eagles aren't rushing into their stadium options

Recently, the Eagles had season ticket holders fill out a survey about Lincoln Financial Field to identify areas for improvement. The main reason was to determine whether they should consider a move or stay at Lincoln Financial Field.

If the team does leave The Linc, the question becomes where it will relocate. Most likely, it's someplace in Philadelphia or outside of it. Lurie was asked by the media about the possibility of a new stadium being somewhere outside of South Philadelphia.

"Whatever's best for the fans. We're not really (going) on a geographical basis. It's whatever's best for the fans. I can't tell you where Cleveland's (new stadium) is, Barcelona is, I don't know. It's just, honestly, the bottom line is whatever is best for the fans."

Eagles fans will be split on whether they want to be outside in the winter with snow coming down or be under a dome. Either way, this is a storyline that is going to be rolling on for awhile.
